Game developer Capcom is back with a gloomy remake of one of the most celebrated survival horror games ever made, Resident Evil 4.

Announcing new details and gameplay at a showcase event in October 2022, the latest reimagining of RE4 has never looked better – or more horrifying.

Six years after the Racoon City outbreak, Leon Kennedy has graduated from rookie cop to special agent, tasked with rescuing the POTUS’s daughter, Ashley, from a small rural village now infected by a virus known as “Las Plagas”.

The original 2005 release was a drastic change to the Resident Evil formula that took the series into a more action-oriented genre, with explosive fights and deadly bosses. Now the remake is upping the ante through the RE engine that made it’s Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes so popular.

Keep reading to find the best deals on the Resident Evil 4 remake and details of the deluxe and collector’s editions.

‘Resident Evil 4’ deluxe edition details

(Capcom)

In the “deluxe” edition of Resident Evil 4, there are a handful of digital extras, including:

  • Leon and Ashley costumes: casual
  • Leon and Ashley Costumes: romantic
  • Leon costume and filter: hero
  • Leon costume and filter: villain
  • Leon accessory: sunglasses (sporty)
  • Deluxe weapon: sentinel nine
  • Deluxe weapon: skull shaker
  • Original soundtrack swap
  • Treasure map expansion

While most of these upgrades are cosmetic (namely the costumes and accessories), the “hero” and “villain” outfits also add a filter to the game’s screen to match Kennedy’s new aesthetic. The treasure map expansion also means new items can be located in the game, which can likely be sold to the enigmatic merchant for in-game currency.
