The Resident Evil 4<\/em> remake first rumored to be in production at M-Two back in April 2020 is now being led by Capcom\u2019s Consumer Game<\/a>s Development Division 1, according to a VGC report<\/a> citing people with knowledge of the project. <\/span><\/p>\n
The remake has reportedly been in development since 2018 at M-Two, which partly contributed to the development of the Resident Evil 3<\/em> remake, but now it is said that following a key project review in late 2020, Capcom decided that its internal Consumer Games Development Division 1 would take over as lead developer on the project, significantly reducing M-Two\u2019s role.<\/p>\n
According to the report, the change is believed to be a result of M-Two\u2019s desire to faithfully reproduce the format of the original Resident Evil 4<\/em>, while Capcom\u2019s production team prefers a direction where it is inspired by the original game, but introduces its own unique take on features, story elements, and environments in a similar way that the Resident Evil 2<\/em> remake reimagined Mr. X.<\/p>\n

VGC\u2019s sources claim that the Resident Evil 4<\/em> remake would be partially rebooted under its new lead developer, which could delay its release as far back as 2023. The remakes of Resident Evil 2<\/em> and Resident Evil 3<\/em> were said to have experienced similar overhauls.<\/p>\n
When contacted by VGC, Capcom declined to comment.<\/p><\/div>\n
