VGC
reports hearing from "multiple sources" that Capcom is working on a
Resident Evil 4 Remake, saying this is in full production and currently
carries a 2022 release window estimate. This makes sense in light of the release
of remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, but this is unconfirmed for
now. So while this remains a rumor, they offer a lot of
details:
Development is being led by Osaka-based M-Two, the new studio
founded by former PlatinumGames head Tatsuya Minami, which has been preparing
for the project since 2018.
However, similar to how 2020’s Resident Evil 3 was led by company Red Works,
Capcom’s internal teams and other external studios are likely to lend support.
It’s understood that the remake has the blessing of original game director
Shinji Mikami, who officially declined an approach to lead the project himself
but has provided informal advice on its direction.
