In ourResident Evil 4 remake review, managing editor Jez Corden wrote that “While the game is a bit thin in the “survival horror” department, Resident Evil 4 is an absolutely spectacular action horror game with varied and satisfying combat, memorable characters, and a meaty amount of content.”
Windows Central’s take
It’s been said, but it bears repeating: Capcom is on fire. Constant hits make this company one of the best around right now, and I expect we’ll see continued strong sales from Resident Evil 4, as well as an impressive performance whenStreet Fighter 6arrives in June.
Since 2017, Capcom has reinvigorated the Resident Evil series and many of its other franchises. Now, I wonder what’s next? Personally, I expect we’ll see Resident Evil 9 in early 2025, possibly followed by another remake in 2026.
