Resident Evil 4 Remake – Xbox Series X

Survival is just the beginning

Resident Evil 4 is a remake of the 2005 original Resident Evil 4, reimagined for 2023 to bring state-of-the-art survival horror. Resident Evil 4 preserves the essence of the original game while introducing modernized gameplay, a reimagined storyline, and vividly detailed graphics to make this the latest survival horror game where life and death, terror and catharsis intersect.

Story

6 years have passed since the biological disaster in Raccoon City. Leon S. Kennedy, one of the survivors of the incident, has been recruited as an agent reporting directly to the president of the United States. With the experience of multiple missions on his back, Leon is sent to rescue the president’s kidnapped daughter.

He tracks her to a secluded European village, where there is something terribly wrong with the villagers. And the curtain rises on this story of daring rescue and gruelling horror.

Gameplay

The camera perspective is a Third Person View, as you remember from the original Resident Evil 4. With updated graphics, the feeling of isolation and eeriness from the original game is enhanced even more. And the controls have been refined to a modern standard that enhances the intensity of the gameplay.
