Capcom has been working on remaking their classic Resident Evil titles, bringing the classic series to a whole new audience on today’s platforms. Now, Resident Evil 4 is available as the latest remake in the series. Originally released in 2005, this remake preserves the essence of the initial release while using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine to deliver modernized gameplay, a reimagined storyline, and vividly detailed graphics.
This title takes place six years after Leon S. Kennedy’s hellish experiences in the biological disaster of Raccoon City. His unmatched resolve caused him to be recruited as an agent reporting directly to the president of the United States. With the experience of multiple missions under his belt, Leon is dispatched to rescue the president’s recently kidnapped daughter, Ashley Graham. Leon tracks her to a secluded European village, however, after making first contact, he discovers a fervor beyond reason that grips the local populace.
Following this initial launch, the prolific “The Mercenaries” challenge mode is also returning as free post-launch DLC on April 7th. Also, Resident Evil 4’s VR Mode has begun development as a free DLC.
