Resident Evil 4 VR Mode: What You Need to Know
Are you eagerly waiting for the Resident Evil 4 VR mode to be released? While the exact release date is not yet known, it’s important to note that it’s not the same as the existing Resident Evil 4 VR title. The upcoming VR mode is a completely different project altogether.
Released on October 21, 2021, the Resident Evil 4 VR is an adaptation of the original game and is available on the Oculus Quest 2. However, Capcom has bigger plans for the upcoming release of Resident Evil 4, which is set to hit PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on March 24, 2023. The remake will have a new VR mode that’s exclusive to PlayStation VR 2 for the PS5. It’s important to note that this VR mode is not an add-on to the existing game, but a new feature altogether.
Capcom recently teased another exciting addition to the Resident Evil series, with a new gameplay trailer for Resident Evil Village’s downloadable content in free VR mode. This is another upcoming PSVR 2-supported title. However, it’s important to note that the VR mode for Village RE is not supported by the Winters expansion that enables third-person play.
While Resident Evil Village’s default mode is in first-person, Resident Evil 4 uses a third-person perspective, so it’s unclear how the VR mode for the latter will be implemented. However, the anticipation for its release is building among Resident Evil fans, and it’s sure to be an exciting addition to the series.
In conclusion, while the exact release date for Resident Evil 4’s VR mode is not yet known, it’s set to be a completely new and exclusive feature on PlayStation VR 2 for the PS5. Keep an eye out for more information on this highly anticipated release!
