Can You Save Luis in Resident Evil 4 Remake?

Since the release of the full game in March, the remake of Resident Evil 4 has captured and maintained the approval of long-time franchise fans. This is due to the fact that CAPCAM stayed true to the original game’s integrity, making improvements only where they were necessary.

While many have remained excited to see what’s changed in the highly anticipated remake, others have dreaded returning character deaths.

This begs the question: Can you save Luis in Resident Evil 4? Let’s cover what we know.

Can Luis Be Saved in Resident Evil IV Remake?

In short, no, Luis cannot be saved in the Resident Evil 4 remake.

While tragic, Luis’ death is inevitable following an unexpected attack by Major Krauser, one of the in-game bosses. This deviates a great deal from the plot point in the original Resident Evil 4, wherein Luis is brutally murdered by Saddler. Although, both death scenes result in the enemy’s retrieval of the strain sample.

This change in the plot has lent some players a bit of hope that there may be a way to save Luis, after all. However, there is no known way to do so, maintaining the integrity of the character’s necessary sacrifice in both the original and its remake.
