Resident Evil 4 Remake will feature significant changes from the original

It is speculated that Capcom is not planning to make a frame-to-frame reconstruction of the original game. The remake will introduce a lot of new features and incorporate new ideas in order to make the game more spooky. A publication by Fanbyte reveals that the opening scene of Resident Evil 4 Remake will take place at night, making it an even more terrifying experience for players.

Many reports also suggest that the remake will feature a more improved story, introduce new side characters with bigger roles, and offer bonus episodes. Developers are also planning to merge the two short campaigns, Assignment: Ada and Separate Ways into one single expanded package to make the storyline more fluid.

The development of the remake initially began at M-Two, a new studio which helped to develop the Resident Evil 3 remake and was founded by Tatsuya Minami. Due to some disagreements between Tatsuya Minami and director of Tango Gameworks, Shinji Mikami, the project has been shifted to an internal team in Capcom. M-Two studios is currently spearheading the expansion of Ada’s campaigns.
