A new report indicates that studio M-Two, which contributed to Resident Evil 3 Remake, is no longer in charge of the Resident Evil 4 remake and that the game could be pushed back to 2023.
According to a report on VGC, some disagreements between Capcom and M-Two led to the latter’s role in the Resident Evil 4 remake be “significantly reduced” with the resumption of development by Division 1 of Capcom.
The report says the disagreements stemmed from M-Two’s desire to stay true to the original Resident Evil 4 in part due to the backlash received from the RE3 remake over its exclusion from “significant parts of the original PlayStation game.”
Rather, Capcom wants the game to be more or less inspired by the original, with a different take on various elements not being part of the original, “similar to Resident Evil 2’s use of Mr. X,” according to the report.
The game is now reportedly in the process of a reboot, which could delay the RE4 remake in 2023.
A Resident Evil 4 remake has been in development since 2018 and was originally slated for release in 2022 according to a previous report.
When the report was released, it was revealed that M-Two, an Osaka-based studio founded by Tatsuya Minami, the former director of PlatinumGames, was set to lead the development.
Resident Evil 4’s original game director Shinji Mikami declined to helm the remake himself, but gave the remake his blessing and offered advice on the direction of the upcoming release.
