Capcom shared with fans how long it will take for them to complete the Resident Evil 4 remake , which will be released early next year. The foursome stood out in the series with the length of the game, so there were discussions among players about whether the game time would be shortened in the refreshed version.
In a new interview with PC Gamer, Yoshiaki Hirabayashi (producer responsible for the remake) said the game will be “about as long” as the original title. Hirabayashi explained that the decision to keep the length of the game was due to feedback received by Capcom in connection with the reboots of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 . While we will definitely see changes in the new RE4 version , they will not affect the timing of the game in any way.
According to data collected by How Long to Beat , the original Resident Evil 4 took players around 15 hours in total. Of course, this is an average and the transition time can be affected by a lot of different factors, but it should take about the same to complete a new version, based on Hirabayashi’s comment. The reboot plot will receive several updates and news, although Capcom does not intend to deviate too much from what made the original installment beloved by fans.
The new Resident Evil 4 will be released on March 24, 2023. You can play it on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and PC.
