Upon its release the game was embraced with critical and fan acclaim, winning multiple Game of the Year awards and often being considered as the greatest video game ever made. After Capcom's undeniable success with the release of the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes it was only a matter of time before the studio went to work on the fourth remake installment.
During the Resident Evil Showcase on October 21, 2022, the Producer of Resident Evil 4, Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, began by showing off a world premiere look at impressive in game footage of the remake. The preview followed Leon S. Kennedy, donning his trademark leather jacket, investigating a mysterious rural village in search for the President's daughter.
