With so much to look forward to in the remake of Resident Evil 4, not to mention the ninth installment said to be in development, the studio is doing all it can to keep this universe alive and well. The upcoming release is one of the most anticipated games of 2023 so far, and people are excited both for the chance to replay one of the best entries in the series and see what's been modernized.
