It’s officially spooky season, as we get closer to Halloween. Not only were gaming fans treated to new announcements for the Silent Hill series but now they can also enjoy some updates on another iconic horror series, Resident Evil.

Japanese game developer Capcom’s flagship series has been a staple of the genre since it was first introduced on the PS1 in 1996. Now, one of its most critically successful entries into the series, Resident Evil 4, is getting the remake treatment, similar to the recently released second and third mainline games.

Resident Evil 4 is scheduled to release on 24 March 2023 on PlayStation, Xbox series X/S and PC, and is confirmed to be one of the first titles to have PS VR2 compatability.

The latest showcase promises new gameplay details on the upcoming title, as well as new content for the most recent entrant into the series, Resident Evil Village, which made our list of the best games for PS5.
