Capcom has treated us to 12 minutes of Resident Evil 4 Remake gameplay

Leon’s looking as skilled as ever.

If you wanted a lengthy look at the upcoming Resident Evil 4 Remake , you’re in luck, as there’s 12 whole minutes of it you can check out.

Game Informer recently shared an exclusive look at Resident Evil 4 Remake , in particular a 12 minute gameplay video showing off some of Chapter 5. This particular chapter is set right after Leon meets Ashley, and offers a good uninterrupted segment to help you know what you’re in for if you’re planning to pick the game up.

The gameplay shows Leon, alongside Ashley, navigating through the church and cemetery area, fending off enemies as they do so. Quite notably, a big change has been made for Ashley. In the original game, she had a health bar, whereas now there isn’t one. That doesn’t mean she can’t be hurt, as if she takes enough damage she’ll enter a downed state where she’ll need to be revived. If she’s hit while downed, she will die though, so, you know, do look after her.

Gameplay is still looking pretty tight so far, though the rain in this particular gameplay sequence does look like it might be a bit visually overwhelming. You will, of course, find that classic Resi inventory management, so you don’t have to worry about it not being a Resi game when it really comes down to it. Though there is still the question of whether it can fix the franchises biggest problem .

The game is looking to be quite a strong remake of a beloved classic, with VG247 taking a look at it last year . “In the Resident Evil 4 Remake, however, there’s so much more fun to be had with Leon’s melee weapon,” wrote Kelsey at the time. “It took me a hot minute to get to grips with, but once I did, it was even more of a gore fest.” Resident Evil 4 Remake was announced last June, after a long period of rumours about the project, and is currently set to launch March 24 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

As Resident Evil remakes continue to print money, Capcom confirms plans for more of them

But no conirmation as to which games it plans to remake.

To the surprise of presumably no one, Capcom has in fact confirmed that it’s planning another Resident Evil remake - but it hasn’t said which game’s getting one.

It’s no secret that Capcom’s Resident Evil remakes have been doing exceptionally well - Resident Evil 4 Remake sold three million copies within its first two days . So hearing that Capcom is working on more was pretty much a given. Resident Evil 4 Remake director Yasuhiro Anpo was the one to confirm more remakes are on the way, quite simply replying “Yes,” when asked by IGN if the developer had plans for more. “We’ve released three remakes so far and they have all been received very well. Since it allows a modern audience to play these games, it is something I am happy to do as someone that loves these older games, and we want to continue doing more.

“What game we will remake in the future is something that we would like to announce in the future, so please look forward to it.” There hasn’t been any kind of hints so far as to which games Capcom might remake, though it has been trying to figure out which games you want to see remade . Code Veronica seemingly isn’t off the table , but of course there are games like the original Resident Evil or Resident Evil 0. Plus, there’s the more actiony Resident Evil 5, which is the next one numerically, though that one obviously marked quite a shift for the survival horror series.

Capcom does have an “unannounced major title” due out before March 2024 , though I personally wouldn’t bet on a new Resident Evil game. Dragon’s Dogma 2 is out March 22 , but that one was already announced, so it can’t be that. Perhaps there’s a new Monster Hunter on the horizon? We could always hope for a new Lost Planet or Darkstalkers too.
