Resident Evil 4 welcomes back Leon S. Kennedy, a survivor of the Raccoon City catastrophe, six years after his nightmarish ordeal. His unwavering determination led to his recruitment as a special agent, answering directly to the President of the United States. With a wealth of mission experience under his belt, Leon is tasked with the rescue of the President’s recently abducted daughter. His search leads him to a remote European village where he encounters an irrational fervor gripping the local inhabitants.
This game set a new benchmark for the Resident Evil franchise. The original Resident Evil 4 was the first to introduce the Third-Person-Camera to the series, which has since shipped over 127 million units globally since its inception in 1996. This reimagined survival tale, in the face of overwhelming terror, returns to deliver a visually captivating modern gaming experience that remains true to the original’s promise.
