At 17 years old, this classic Capcom entry is one that fans are still talking about to this day, more so in fact given that the remake has officially been announced. However, the game has aged somewhat in the visual department, and that’s where TeaserPlay comes into the mix. Uploading a video to YouTube recently, the independent studio has reimagined what Resident Evil 4 would look like if it was done today using Unreal Engine 5. The result is pretty spectacular.

While it’s presented as a trailer, and a very pretty one at that, it should be noted that this is just a concept and doesn’t mean that any unofficial remake is currently being developed. The video itself is presented in an almost moody way, with shots of some areas of the game that fans will recognize, as Leon’s narration plays over the top. TeaserPlay is also no stranger to this sort of thing. Recently, they also shared a version of Silent Hill as reimagined in Unreal Engine 5, with similar results in that it takes a somewhat old, yet still beloved, horror game and brings it into the current generation.
A few days ago, Capcom officially declared that a Resident Evil 4 remake is in development, although the developer seems to be referring to it more as a “reawakening” rather than a “remake,” but that’s splitting hairs somewhat. Given that, the game has very much been a popular topic recently, especially in the horror community. In fact, with the likes of Layers of Fears and The Callisto Protocol coming out, now seems like a great time to be a fan of scary games.
It’s also not surprising that TeaserPlay has done this UE5 concept for Resident Evil 4. It’s easily considered one of the best Resident Evil games ever made, being a significant installment in one of the most influential horror franchises in the industry. Fortunately, with the remake on the way, fans won’t have to wait long to see what a modern take on RE4 would look like today.
The remake of Resident Evil 4 will release for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X on March 24, 2023.
