Resident Evil 4 VR is set to launch on PlayStation VR2 on December 8, offering a free update for gamers who own the base game. Alongside the release, a demo will be available, allowing players to experience the survival horror in virtual reality before they buy. Fans can look forward to fully immersive gameplay where every detail and weapon from the original Resident Evil 4 Remake, which scored a striking 10/10 from IGN, has been refined for VR.

Sense controllers with unique haptic feedback for each weapon will enrich the experience, and the development team promises an encounter where enemies feel as if they are standing right before you. The director Keisuke Yamakawa emphasizes the emphasis on immersion and the unique thrill that VR brings to the survival horror genre, enhancing both the scares and the sense of presence.

The Resident Evil 4 Remake has been a significant success since its launch in March 2023, selling millions of copies. Its VR adaptation comes from a seasoned team with experience on other Resident Evil VR titles, such as Resident Evil: Village for PS VR2, which IGN rated an 8/10. With the addition of VR to the critically acclaimed game, the new mode promises to elevate the terrifying atmosphere and bring a fresh dimension to this classic title.
