Is a Resident Evil 4 Remake on the way?

Following the critical and commercial success of the Resident Evil 2 and 3, a continuation of the RE:Remake series would be little surprise to anyone. But now, the first sign has emerged that a new version of the highly acclaimed 4th entry in the series is on the horizon.

I hope so. I'm hoping VIII 2021, RE4 Remake 2022. That would have them put out 1 main RE game a year, since RE3 was this year and RE 2 last year. RE4 should be the capstone game, since it is the best of the lot, imho. If you played RE4 and didn't like it, did you try mercenaries mode? It was better than the main game, and the entire reason I call it one of my GOATs. Best extra mode ever in a game.

I think a lot of people played fully through RE4, never touched mercenaries, and didn't like the game because of that. It's a real shame. If they do remake it, try mercenaries. If they do it justice, it is amazing, not like the other extra modes in RE games.

I do too

I hope not. It's been done to death. Maybe show Code Veronica some love.

I would take that too. I certainly loved Code Veronica. Still my second fav behind 4.

I'm curious though, have they ever actually done anything to RE4, besides like adding motion controls or upscaling to HD? Basically they just ported with minor upgrades right?

@zac

As far as I am aware, it's just been HD-ified and ported around. Could be wrong there.

I'm with you, Code Veronica deserves the Remake.

RE4, I mean... it's almost like hearing about RE5 getting a Remake. It just doesn't feel like it needs it.

[Ursozord]

Yes. q2 2022

[Smok91]

Wait, is this for real. Yeah it’s been in development where have you been lol

[Boomslang]

That's what I thought, I thought this was common knowledge among people who follow the franchise. I've seen so many articles talking about how they should remake CV instead first (which as a huge RE4 fan, I agree with).

There were stories about this in April and said a 2022 release.
