On average, it can take between 16 to 31 hours to complete the Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Capcom has been on a remake binge since the Japanese company revamped Resident Evil 2 a few years ago. After that, fans were rewarded with a remake of Resident Evil 3 starring Jill Valentine, and it's now time for Resident Evil 4 to undergo the same treatment. Although the remake is faithful to the 2005 original, it does have a few improvements, thus the runtime isn't quite one-to-one.
What is Resident Evil 4 Remake’s plot?
Leon Kennedy, the same rookie cop from Resident Evil 2, returns in Resident Evil 4. This time, he is an official US government employee entrusted with extracting the president's daughter, Ashley, from some sick Spaniards. A mysterious plague has swallowed up the village, turning people rageful and vicious, leaving Leon to negotiate a maze of ambushes and traps.
Meanwhile, in the background, there are typical Resident Evil antics involving Albert Wesker and Ada Wong, among others. For those who have played the original, they'll understand what Resident Evil 4 Remake is all about. This plot seems very similar to the original's premise, which was to be expected. Given the length of the original Resident Evil 4, there might find some unexpected twists and turns as Capcom has a lot of leeway in rearranging certain events to make it feel fresh.
How long is Resident Evil 4 Remake?
Resident Evil 4 Remake should take about 15 hours to complete on average, depending on how true it is to the original game. The playtime will also greatly depend on whether a player wants to truly explore Resident Evil 4 or merely speed-run through it. For the former, the gameplay might be as much as 31 hours, while just completing the main goal and side missions could take between 18 and 20 hours.
Since the remake contains significantly more content than the original, obtaining 100 percent would most likely take you roughly 35 hours or so — even longer to acquire the platinum award. Additionally, the Resident Evil 4 remake, like other games in the series, has a New Game Plus feature. This will allow players to transfer their gear to New Game Plus, making some challenges easier to complete. It's an excellent method for collecting any remaining trophies and/or achievements.
