A new report says 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 until 2023.
According to a report on VGC, some differences of opinion between Capcom and M-Two have led to the latter’s role in the Resident Evil 4 remake to “significantly reduce” with the development of Capcom’s division 1.
The report says that the differences of opinion stem in part from the fact that M-Two wants to stay faithful to the original Resident Evil 4, in part due to the setback of RE3’s remake of the exclusion of ‘important parts of the original PlayStation game’ .
Capcom would rather have the game be more or less inspired by the original, with a different view of different elements that are not part of the original, ‘similar to Resident Evil 2’s use of Mr. X ‘, according to the report.
It is now said that the game will undergo a reload, which could delay the RE4 remake in 2023.
A remake of Resident Evil 4 has been in development since 2018 and was originally planned for a release in 2022 according to a previous report.
When the report broke, it was revealed that M-Two, an Osaka-based studio founded by Tatsuya Minami, the former head of PlatinumGames, to lead the development.
