The Oculus-exclusive Resident Evil 4 VRย has an official release date for October 21. Resident Evil 4 VR will have both full-motion movement and teleportation travel. Everything from puzzles to the typewriter has been designed to be fully interactive. But the biggest change to Resident Evil 4 VRย comes in item management. In VR, players can pull weapons and items off their virtual body to use them, like pulling a gun out of a holster or ripping a medpack off your bag.
Originally released in 2005 for consoles and PC, Resident Evil 4ย is easily one of the most beloved games in the Resident Evil franchise. Rumors concerning a remake of the fan-favorite have circulated for years now, and while it seems like it is in development, news on the subject has been scarce.
Resident Evil 4ย helped modernize the horror franchise and make it what it is today. The synopsis of the revolutionary game is as follows:
Special agent Leon S. Kennedy is sent on a mission to rescue the U.S. Presidentโs daughter who has been kidnapped. Finding his way to a rural village in Europe, he faces new threats that are a departure from the traditional lumbering zombie enemies of the earlier installments in the series. Leon battles horrific new creatures infested by a new threat called Las Plagas and faces off against an aggressive group of enemies including mind-controlled villagers that are tied to Los Illuminados.”
Resident Evil 4 VRย will be available exclusively for Oculus Quest 2 on October 21, 2021. As of this writing, there is no news on whether or not it will eventually release for other VR headsets.
