Resident Evil 4 (2023)

The game follows U.S. government special agent Leon S. Kennedy as he travels to a rural village in Spain to rescue the President's kidnapped daughter, Ashley Graham. He discovers the villagers have been infected by a mind-controlling parasite known as Las Plagas, rather than the traditional T-Virus zombies. Leon must fight through hordes of hostile locals and mutated monsters to complete his mission.

The primary antagonist is Osmund Saddler, the leader of a religious cult known as Los Iluminados. Saddler intends to use the Las Plagas parasite to infect Ashley Graham, allowing him to manipulate the President of the United States from the shadows. Other notable antagonists include the towering village chief, Bitores Mendez, and the tiny, parasitic Ramon Salazar.

Yes, it is a ground-up remake of the critically acclaimed 2005 survival horror game of the same name. Developed on Capcom's proprietary RE Engine, the remake completely overhauls the graphics, pacing, and combat systems while remaining faithful to the original story. It notably shifts the camera from a fixed-angle perspective to a modern over-the-shoulder third-person view.

Yes, Capcom released "Separate Ways," a story DLC in September 2023 that follows the spy Ada Wong's parallel journey through the main game. The base game also features a free update adding the popular "The Mercenaries" mode, a timed survival challenge where players fight waves of enemies. The remake also fleshes out the character arcs of side characters like Luis Serra.
