Resident Evil 4 Remake – More Content is About to Come
RE4 Remake was awarded as the Best Horror Game of 2023, and we believe that more prizes are set to come soon. With The Game Awards 2023 drawing near, the game is certainly getting more titles. It’s a strong candidate for the best horror game of 2023.
Besides the awards, we are pretty sure that CAPCOM is not done yet with Resident Evil 4 Remake. The company is reportedly working on more DLCs, and we will soon see the reimagination of the “Separate Ways” campaign from the PS2 game. In this campaign, we take the role of Ada Wong in his mission which happens in parallel to Leon’s quest.
