Resident Evil 4 - Sony PlayStation 5 - Horror - PEGI 18

In Resident Evil™ 4, you meet Leon S. Kennedy six years after his hellish experience in the Raccoon City biological disaster. His unmatched determination led him to be recruited as an agent reporting directly to the President of the United States. With the experience of numerous missions under his belt, Leon is sent to rescue the President's recently kidnapped daughter. Leon tracks her to a remote European village, but after making first contact, he discovers the locals are gripped by a zeal beyond reason. A title that set the standard for the later Resident Evil™ franchise, the original Resident Evil™ 4 introduced the Third-Person Camera to the long-running series, which has sold over 127 million units worldwide since the first title debuted in 1996.

Now, this reimagined tale of survival in the face of overwhelming terror returns to deliver a visually stunning modern gaming experience that stays true to the promise of the original release. Many team members from the production of 2019's best-selling and critically acclaimed Resident Evil™ 2 also return to dive deeper into the essence of Resident Evil 4. Fans and newcomers alike can rejoice in both the new and the familiar as the RE Engine sharpens the design and creative direction from the original game.
