Resident Evil 4 drops into Fortnite in new shop update

Epic Games is kicking off another Resident Evil Fortnite collaboration, and this time, Claire Redfield and Leon take center stage

Epic Games is kicking off another Resident Evil Fortnite collaboration for the new Fortnite season, and even though Resident Evil 4 remake is just over the horizon, it’s sharing the stage with Resident Evil 2. The collaboration adds Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield to the mix, two years after an initial collaboration that saw Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield turn up in the multiplayer game’s shop.

Leon is sporting his Resident Evil 4 look, having shed the Raccoon City police uniform in favor of something a bit more low-key. He comes with the attache case back bling – no inventory puzzle required – and you can buy a separate his combat knife harvesting tool separately.

Claire Redfield joins in her Resident Evil 2 remake attire, including her iconic red jacket, and comes with her own unique back bling: a set of lockpicks. It might not open any special doors on the island, but at least it looks cool.

Claire’s unique harvesting tool, also sold separately, is a candy-stripe umbrella.

You can get both skins in the Raccoon Survivors Pack for 2,100 V-Bucks. Thanks to the way Epic sells the in-game currency, that totals out to about $20. If you’re keen on either, it might be worth getting them while you can. Chris and Jill remain missing from the shop after their last appearance in April 2022.

Epic rotates skin selections regularly, though, so they likely won’t be gone forever.

Fans remade Resident Evil 4’s iconic opening in Lego form

While Lego typically steers clear of horror games, one fan created a version of what Lego Resident Evil 4 might look like

While Lego typically steers clear of horror games, one fan decided that needed to change and created a version of what Lego Resident Evil 4 might look like (thanks, Kotaku). YouTuber Cara Aleatorio, who specializes in creating Lego-inspired animation sequences, posted a recreation of Resident Evil 4’s iconic opening, where Leon S. Kennedy first encounters the murderous Ganado, made entirely in Lego.

The scene starts as it does in the game, with Leon arriving outside an unnamed Spanish village with his two ill-fated colleagues. The clearly marked dirt roads through the dingy woods are gone, replaced with a more blocky, yet more natural path, lined with Lego trees inhabited by Lego crows that Leon can shoot with his bullet-free gun.

In true Lego fashion, this is a bloodless Resident Evil. Leon’s confrontation with the lone Ganado villager inside a nearby house includes a pain-free gunshot to the leg and a roundhouse kick that sends the villager flying in humorous fashion.

Leon takes a tumble out of an upper-floor window to escape and meets three more angry villagers, including one who looks like a Lego Santa Claus in farmer’s getup. Resident Evil’s over-the-top horror camp fits surprisingly well with Lego’s tongue-in-cheek humor, and we can’t help but wish for a full Resident Evil Lego crossover now.

While that’s not likely to happen anytime soon, there is more Resident Evil 4 on the way., Resident Evil 4 remake launches for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on March 24, 2023. You can download a free demo of the game’s opening sequence – the same sequence the Lego version is based on – on console and PC now.

Fans are modding Resident Evil 4 remake’s demo to hilarious results

Never bring a banana to a gunfight.

Resident Evil 4‘s remake isn’t out yet, but that’s not stopping fans from creating absolutely hilarious mods.

By now, you’re likely aware there’s a playable demo for the Resident Evil 4 remake. If this is brand-new news, stop everything and give it a shot. Seriously, you won’t regret it – the bizarro secrets alone make this a must-play.

What’s most surprising about the demo is people are already making mods for it on PC. Yes – well before the Resident Evil 4 remake’s launch on March 23, 2023. As they say: the devil works hard, but thirsty horror game fans work harder. More on this in a moment!

Over on Nexusmods, there’s already a handful of mods for the Resident Evil 4 remake – all of which are demo-ready. Unsurprisingly, most of these are either silly or suggestive – let’s take a quick look at what’s already available below.

The Resident Evil 4 demo has a brutal hidden secret

Capcom launched the Resident Evil 4 remake demo after March’s Capcom Spotlight, and there’s a grueling surprise lurking in it

Capcom launched the Resident Evil 4 remake demo after March’s Capcom Spotlight, and there’s a grueling surprise lurking inside. The Chainsaw Demo has a secret Chainsaw Mode that cranks up the survival horror demo’s difficulty by a substantial degree.

The demo sees Leon make his way through a Ganado village, fending off hoards of parasite-infested villagers with murder in their hearts. The sequence is notoriously difficult even in the 2005 game, not least because Dr Salvador, the chainsaw-wielding man, makes a scripted appearance near the segment’s end and tries his hardest to separate Leon’s head and body.

If dealing with a more punishing version of that sequence wasn’t enough, Capcom even threw in a second chainsaw man as well. This isn’t Super Salvador of Resident Evil Mercenaries fame either, the giant man with a double-bladed saw. This one seems brand-new. His chainsaw has a bronze blade, and he’s wearing a white sack stained with blood and ash.

The hardest part about the Chainsaw Mode difficulty seems to be actually unlocking it. Capcom made it where the mode only shows up at random when you launch the demo.

For now, Chainsaw difficulty is locked to the demo, so don’t expect it in the full game when it launches on March 24, 2023.

You can play the Resident Evil 4 remake demo now

Capcom announced a Resident Evil 4 remake demo during the February State of Play, and you can finally play it now

Capcom announced a Resident Evil 4 remake demo during the February State of Play, and you can finally play it as of March 9, 2023. Capcom launched the demo, dubbed the Chainsaw Demo, during the Capcom Spotlight after showing another glimpse at the upcoming survival horror game and its fresh twist on the 2005 classic.

The Resident Evil 4 remake demo is available on PS5 and PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. Like Capcom’s previous Resident Evil demos, you can get a brief glimpse of what the full game has to offer, including a handle on Leon’s arsenal and deadly knife skills.

The Chainsaw Demo lets you play through the game’s opening segments in the village, including Leon’s first run-in with the iconic chainsaw man, Dr. Salvador, and there’s no time limit. You’re free to explore it as many times as your courage allows, though it doesn’t include the Mercenaries mode, which Capcom is launching as DLC for the main game.

The demo is available indefinitely, and you can download it from your platform’s storefront.

However, your save data won’t transfer to the full game. Whatever progress you make, you’ll have to make again once Resident Evil 4 remake launches on March 24, 2023, for PC, PS4 and PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

March 2023 game releases: Upcoming titles being released this month

March 2023 will have its fair share of game releases, including a remake of the greatest horror games ever made.

This year is already shaping up to be a big one for video games, with quite a few high-profile releases already out in the first two months, headed by the highly-anticipated and successful Hogwarts Legacy, which came out in February.

March doesn’t show signs of a slowdown, and it’s coming with its fair share of new big-name games. Sports fans are getting the new annual entries of three big sports simulation series, while this month’s highlight will be a remake of one of the best horror games ever made.

An exotic open-world adventure will arrive as a day-one release for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, while a beloved shapeshifting witch is getting her origin story released for the Nintendo Switch.

All in all, plenty of new titles to be excited about, so let’s have a look at the best games releasing in March 2023.

Resident Evil 4 remake has Mercenaries mode as free DLC

Capcom announced during the February State of Play that Resident Evil 4 Mercenaries is returning in the horror game remake as free DLC

Capcom announced during the February State of Play that Resident Evil 4 Mercenaries is returning in the horror game remake as free DLC. The news came at the end of a new trailer highlighting the game’s castle section, new threats, and Leon literally bringing a knife to a gunfight.

The new Resident Evil 4 remake trailer shows a mix of familiar scenes in the castle, including the infamous segment where Leon has to pick off Los Iluminados cultists from afar while Ashley activates switches, and some new locations, including an abandoned mine. Jack Krauser makes an appearance, and there’s a fight against two armored Gigantos featuring Luis Serra fighting alongside Leon.

Some of the action seems like a beat-for-beat recreation of the original, including the castle infiltration sequence where Leon and Ashley dodge firebombs hurled from the fortress’ battlements. Others have some tweaks both small and large, such as a minecart race with the chainsaw-wielding Dr. Salvador.

If you’re after a Resident Evil 4 remake demo and a chance to see it for yourself. you’ll have to wait a bit longer. Capcom said one is coming – but didn’t say when, only that it would release for PS4 and PS5.

Capcom still hasn’t said whether they will add the Separate Ways campaign featuring Ada Wong as free DLC as well.

Resident Evil 4 remake launches on March 24, 2023, for PC, PS4 and PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

We were so close to getting a new Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller

Capcom wanted to make a revamped version of the Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller for the horror remake, but it didn’t happen – yet

Capcom wanted to make a revamped version of the iconic Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller, but it didn’t happen – yet. Game Informer spoke with Capcom’s Yasuhiro Ampo and Yoshiaki Hirabayashi about the upcoming survival horror remake ahead of its March 24, 2023, launch, and sussed out the likelihood of the team releasing a specialty controller (thanks, GamesRadar).

The chance is pretty small, at least at launch. Ampo and Hirabayashi said the team wanted to make a new version of the chainsaw controller to release alongside the game, but it just wasn’t possible.

“We wanted to do one, but we are already putting everything we have into development of the game,” Hirabayashi said. “Maybe we can look into that some other time if there’s an opportunity.”

It’s not a hard no, at least.

When Resident Evil 4 first launched in 2005, Capcom released a blood-soaked chainsaw controller for PS2 and the Nintendo Gamecube to go along with it. The grisly peripheral is a nod to the game’s bag-wearing, bloodthirsty chainsaw man, Dr. Salvador, who Leon faces during a tense encounter in the Ganado village early in the game – and loses his head, if he’s not careful.

The encounter became iconic thanks in no small part to how gruesome the death scene is, even by Resident Evil standards. The original chainsaw controller was hardly the most ergonomic design, but it would be nice to have a similar trophy to sit alongside the remake. Maybe someday, if Capcom isn’t too busy making Resident Evil 5 remake.

New Resident Evil 4 Remake gameplay footage is plenty spooky

One of the best survival horror games is looking better than ever.

Only a few weeks remain until the Resident Evil 4 remake is within our grasp, and some brand-new gameplay footage is out to show us just what to expect from this reimagining of a horror classic.

Game Informer recently had the opportunity to go hands-on with Capcom’s remake, specifically the opening village section. Many locales will be immediately recognizable to Resident Evil 4 veterans: the church, graveyard, and central village hub are all there – all of which are crawling with pitchfork-wielding ganados. Even the iconic merchant is there!

Check out the video for yourself below. An interesting addition is sidequests – completing various tasks seemingly yields rewards from the merchant now.

Virtually every Resident Evil 4 remake preview is glowing, which says a lot, given the original’s legacy. After all, being arguably the greatest survival horror game comes with a particular set of expectations. Directors Yasuhiro Ampo and Kazunori Kadoi already have a lot of experience helming this kind of project – as they were also in charge of Resident Evil 2‘s fantastic remake.

We’ll find out if it’s faithful when the Resident Evil 4 remake launches on Mar. 24, 2023, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
