Resident Evil 4is one of the most popular video games ever made, with Capcom porting it to nearly every system imaginable. Just recently, Capcom releasedResident Evil 4 VRfor Oculus Quest 2, successfully translating Leon’s adventure to the virtual reality space and earning rave reviews in the process. Rumors persist that a full-blownResident Evil 4remake is next up, and now some of the most damning evidence of it has leaked online.
Albert Weskervoice actor D.C. Douglas has allegedly broken his NDA and leaked concept art of how the character will appear in theResident Evil 4remake.Twitter account BewareCreepyVAs shared a screenshotof the art online, which supposedly shows Wesker as he will appear in theResident Evil 4remake’s take on the Separate Ways side content. According to BewareCreepyVAs, Douglas shared the concept art with multiple fans. One screenshot allegedly shows Douglas sharing the Wesker concept art and saying, “Again - DO NOT SHARE - I could get sued.” Douglas has since deleted his Twitter account.

It’s possible the images have been faked, so fans should keep that in mind. If the images are real, it’s more evidence that theResident Evil 4remake is in development. The game was leaked quite some time ago, with original plans pegging it for a 2022 release, though the latest leaks claim the game is coming in 2023 instead.
Reputable leakers initially spilled the beans on theResident Evil 4remake, but more concrete evidence for it has come to light as well. Besides the D.C. Douglas Wesker leak, theCapcom ransomware attackrevealed the existence of theResident Evil 4remake. Information from the Capcom ransomware attack has already been corroborated by official announcements, and so it’s safe to say that theResident Evil 4remake is indeed on the way.
However, it remains to be seen what form theResident Evil 4remake will take. It’s possible that it will remain faithful to the original, but it’s also possible it will take some major liberties to help modernize the experience. The most recent leaks have suggested that there’s been some creative differences behind the scenes,pushing theResident Evil 4remake release date back, with Capcom changing direction with the game.
It’s unlikely that an officialResident Evil 4remake announcement will come anytime soon, but it’s not the only leakedResident Evilproject that’s supposedly on the way. Reports indicate that aResident EvilSwitch exclusivemay also be in the works, supposedly with Rebecca Chambers in the starring role. There’s been a lot less evident backing up that game’s existence, though, so fans should keep their expectations in check and as always, treat rumors with a grain of salt.
Resident Evil 4remake is rumored to be in development.
