A Resident Evil 4 remake has frequently been rumored, and recent leaks suggest that the project may be announced soon. The classic survival horror shooter, originally released in 2005, reinvented the series by adopting an over-the-shoulder camera angle and placing a heavy emphasis on action. While there have been frequent rumors of a Resident Evil 4 remake following Capcom's remakes of the first three games, the project has not yet been officially revealed.
Capcom's Resident Evil series is often attributed with creating and popularizing the survival horror genre, and recent remakes have reinvented these retro titles for a modern audience. 2002's remake of Resident Evil maintains the same gameplay and fixed camera perspective of the original, but 2019's Resident Evil 2 and 2020's Resident Evil 3 adopted more intense third-person shooter gameplay and an over-the-shoulder view. Resident Evil 4 introduced this style, leading many gamers to believe that the game would soon receive a modern remake of its own. While a Resident Evil 4 remake has been teased and rumored for some time, for now Capcom remains silent.
