A new report states that the studio M-Two, which contributed to Resident Evil 3 Remake, is no longer responsible for the remake of Resident Evil 4, and that the game can be pushed into 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 to be “significantly reduced” with Capcom’s Division 1 taking over development.
The report states that the differences arose out of M-Two’s desire to remain true to the original Resident Evil 4, partly due to the reaction received from the RE3 remake over the exclusion of “significant portions of the original PlayStation game”.
Instead, Capcom wants the game to be more or less inspired by the original, with a different view of various elements that are not part of the original, “similar to the use of Mr. X by Resident Evil 2”, according to the report.
The game is now undergoing a reboot, which could delay the remake of RE4 in 2023.
A remake of Resident Evil 4 has been in development since 2018 and was originally scheduled to be released in 2022 according to an earlier report.
When the report was released, it was revealed that M-Two, an Osaka-based studio founded by Tatsuya Minami, the former head of PlatinumGames, was set to lead the development.
The director of the original Resident Evil 4 game, Shinji Mikami, refused to lead the remake, but gave his approval to the remake and gave some advice on the direction of the next release.
