One of the biggest titles in gaming is getting a new release, and it’s finally just weeks away. Resident Evil 4, the fourth installment in the iconic survival horror franchise, has been remade for the new generation of consoles.
Developed and published by Capcom, the first Resident Evil was released on PlayStation in 1996, and spawned a huge multimedia franchise, with 10 main video game titles, countless spin-offs and several remakes – not to mention a series of films, TV shows and comic books. The original game paved the way for horror games and remains a huge title in the gaming world.
With Resident Evil 4, released in 2005, the franchise shifted to more dynamic shooting action and influenced the evolution of the survival horror and third-person genres with its over-the-shoulder camera perspective. Now, the iconic title is being remade, following the success of both the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes from 2019 and 2020 respectively.
