The upcoming Resident Evil 4 Remake was the star of yesterday's Resident Evil Showcase hosted by CAPCOM. Fans were treated to a new trailer, new gameplay, new info, and even the opening of pre-orders featuring two special editions in addition to the basic one.

Resident Evil 4 Remake runs on the RE Engine, which is notoriously lightweight. However, reading those very accessible specifications, we were immediately reminded of those of Resident Evil Village. After double-checking, we confirmed that they are indeed exactly the same.
We've inquired with CAPCOM to make sure this is not a clerical mistake and will update this story if and when we hear back. As a reminder, the Resident Evil 4 Remake is set to launch on March 24th, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.
