So far, some of PS State of Play 2022’s most exciting announcements have included the Resident Evil franchise. The first of them is something that has been talked about for some time – a remake of Resident Evil 4.

Unfortunately, Capcom did not reveal much about the remake. We received a teaser trailer and it was released on March 24, 2023. They also confirmed that the game comes on Playstation 5 and PC, Xbox Series S and Series X. In addition, Capcom hinted at additional content for VR systems, but don’t say much more from this.
Speaking of VR, Capcom also announced on PS State of Play 2022 that fans may soon feel even more terrified. Resident Evil Village will make its way to the PlayStation VR2. If you have this virtual reality headset, get ready to start shaking again!
Capcom said it will be the full version of the survival horror game and will include new techniques. This includes exchanging weapons in your hands and physically lifting your arms to attack enemies. You will definitely be scared!
