The Resident Evil 4 Remake is Expected to be of the Same Duration as the Original Title

Resident Evil 4 is in awe of its launch as Capcom has revealed how long it will take players to see through its remake which will be coming early next year.

Compared to some of the original instalments, Resident Evil 4 has always been one of the longer games in the franchise. It is likely that the forthcoming RE4 remake wouldn't make the title any shorter, also some fans wondered if Capcom would be lengthening the game by a substantial margin.

"The game will be "about the same" length as the original title. Hirabayashi explained that this decision to keep the game around the same playtime as the original is based on feedback that fans gave Capcom after its remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. And while there will obviously be some changes in the new version of RE4, clearly, these alterations won't make the game that much longer or shorter," said Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, who is a producer behind the remake of Resident Evil 4, PC Gamer reported.

What could be expected?

The original Resident Evil 4 took most players around 15 hours in total to see through. While this time could vary based on a number of factors, it seems likely the remake of Resident Evil 4 will be somewhere in this same neighbourhood based on Hirabayashi's comments.

While the new iteration of the game will come with some updates to the story and gameplay, but Capcom seems to be focused more on the Original Title so far, according to How Long to Beat.

Expected Release Date

Resident Evil 4 is likely to be released next year on March 24, 2023, and will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, and PC.
