Capcom has announced that it will host a Capcom Spotlight live stream event on March 9. The 26-minute broadcast will feature updates on several of the publisher’s upcoming titles including Resident Evil 4 remake, Monster Hunter Rise, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, Exoprimal, and Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection. It will be hosted on Twitch, Facebook, and TikTok in both English and Japanese. A teaser trailer was also released.
Details of Capcom’s upcoming major title, Resident Evil 4 remake can be seen below:
As a title that set the standard for the later Resident Evil™ franchise, the original Resident Evil 4 introduced the Third-Person-Camera to the long-running series, which has shipped over 125 million units worldwide since the first title debuted in 1996. This new perspective brought players into the action and horrors encountered by protagonist Leon S. Kennedy during his daring rescue mission.
Resident Evil 4 joins Leon S. Kennedy six years after his hellish experiences in the biological disaster of Raccoon City. His unmatched resolve caused him to be recruited as an agent reporting directly to the president of the United States. With the experience of multiple missions on his back, Leon is dispatched to rescue the president’s recently kidnapped daughter. Leon tracks her to a secluded European village, however after making first contact he discovers a fervor beyond reason grips the local populace.
Now, this reimagined tale of survival in the face of overwhelming terror returns to deliver a visually stunning modern gaming experience that is true to the promise of the original release. Many team members from the production of 2019’s top-selling and critically acclaimed Resident Evil™ 2 also make their return to delve deeper into the essence of Resident Evil 4. Fans and newcomers alike can revel in both the new and familiar, as RE Engine heightens the original’s creative direction to tell a story that is darker and even more unsettling.
