A new trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil 4 Remake has offered a closer look at protagonist Leon S. Kennedy, with Capcom showing off a more mature look for the character. Resident Evil 4 Remake was announced during the June PlayStation State of Play, with a teaser trailer offering a glimpse of the remake alongside a March 2023 release date.
