The Resident Evil 4 remake is finally confirmed, and its announcement came with a release date. Leon is back to save Ashley all over again.

Resident Evil 4 Release Date: March 24, 2023

Resident Evil 4 will release on March 24, 2023. It is now available for pre-order on PC, PS4, PS5, and the Xbox Series X|S. If players buy the PS4 version of the game, it can be upgraded to the PS5 version at no additional cost. The PS5 version offers PSVR2 support at launch.

Resident Evil 4 headlined the June Sony State of Play with its first official trailer, allowing the showcase to start as strong as it possibly could. With this game opening the show, adrenaline shot up for all audiences and it became clear that this showcase is going to be a heavy-hitter, setting the tone for the rest of the thirty-minute or so presentation. One recent Resident Evil Showcase also had details about the remake. This includes an updated trailer and some gameplay previews.

Resident Evil 4 is arguably the most popular Resident Evil game of all time, and there's no other character more iconic than Leon Kennedy in the Resident Evil franchise. Now, Leon is back, saving Ashley all over again, shooting Ganados in the head, this time in full 4K UHD.

While this is an automatic purchase for many players, especially for those who've seen the glistening review scores for the game, there might still be some who are skeptical of this remake. If you're one of them, you might want to check out the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo any time you want, as this demo does not have a time limit and will be playable even after the game launches.

Once you're ready to purchase, know that the game has a Deluxe Edition that comes with alternate costumes for both Leon and Ashley, cosmetic weapon charms, and deluxe weapons. Pre-ordering the game will get you a some more cosmetics, but will not get you any early access.
