Resident Evil 4 Remake is "in the wild" weeks before its official launch date

Beware, Resident Evil fans – it looks like retail copies of Resident Evil 4 Remake have reached fans' hands early, which means gameplay and spoilers are cropping up all over the internet.

Whilst Resident Evil 4 Remake (opens in new tab) isn't supposed to release until the end of the month – March 24, 2023, to be specific – videos are now appearing across social media, suggesting that in some places, fans have been able to get their copies ahead of the horror game's formal street date.

"Just as a heads-up, Resident Evil 4 Remake is 100% in the wild, seen some clips people notified me about in a few places. Won't share them, but if [you] want to avoid spoilers, now's the time to start treading carefully," tweeted noted game leaker, Dusk Golem.

"While I'm sure Capcom will start scrubbing stuff soon, my suggestion going forward is just be careful on social media and video-sharing sites. Some with auto recommendations, such as Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, etc, maybe the ones to be most careful of, but [there] are ways to block terms."
