Back in 2020/early 2021 rumors were running hot and heavy that a Resident Evil 4 remake was in the works at Capcom, but it’s been some time since we’ve heard any new scuttlebutt about the project. Previously, we heard that the game was initially in the works at Resident Evil 3 remake developer M-Two, but that the project was taken over by internal studios after the mixed reaction to RE3. We also heard the idea was to reinvent and expand the game, rather than offer a straight scene-for-scene remake.

Well, Fanbyte’s Imran Khan has stepped forward with a new insider report that largely mirrors what we heard before (M-Two’s demotion, changes being made), but adds a few more specific details. Word is Capcom is playing with the timeline of the game, with events that previously happened during the day (like the initial encounter with the infected townspeople) now happening at night. There’s a reason for this, as Capcom is looking to dial down the camp and create a darker, “spookier” experience. Apparently, they’re actually looking toward the early Gamecube trailers and demos that mostly ended up on the cutting room floor for inspiration.
