Capcom's in-development Resident Evil 4 remake has seen a major change of leadership due to disagreements over its direction, according to people with knowledge of the project.

New studio M-Two has seen its role significantly reduced on the unannounced project, the sources told VGC, and mainline Resident Evil studio Capcom Division 1 has been brought in to lead a new direction.

However, multiple sources have indicated that, following a key project review late last year, it was decided that M-Two's role on RE4's remake would be significantly reduced. Capcom's Division 1 – the internal team responsible for Resident Evil and Devil May Cry games – has now been brought in to lead the RE4 project, VGC understands.

It's believed that the disagreements that led to M-Two's reduced role involved the studio's desire to stick faithfully to the template of the original Resident Evil 4, partly influenced by backlash to Resident Evil 3's remake, which did not include significant portions of the original PlayStation game, much to fans' disappointment.

Sources said that the Resident Evil 4 Remake would now be partially rebooted under the new mandate, which could see its release delayed by as much as a year to 2023.

If they're gonna do it, do it properly. Take all the time you need, there's huge expectations to live up to.

RE4 doesn't need a remake, it's still perfectly playable as is.
And yes, I'm part of the people afraid they would cut content to modify it too much.

Maybe they're confused because it's totally unnecessary and there's literally nothing to improve on- whatever flaws are present in the island section or some of the castle are so incredibly minor, this feels like a total fool's errand.

So M-Two's version of the Resident Evil 4 Remake was too faithful, given that RE3 was disappointing but Capcom were like "Nah"?

That's the exact opposite of what I want to read.
