After eight years of work, a Resident Evil 4 HD project mod will be released in February 2022. Set to be compatible with Version 1.0.6 and 1.1.0 of Resident Evil 4 on Steam, the Resident Evil 4 HD project is a multi-language mod on which development started in 2014. HD versions of RE4 have been released, but they mostly just sharpen textures and many agree they’re not great improvements on the original. This mod includes thousands of new textures, effects, corrections, and reworked 3D models for Resident Evil 4’s main campaign, as well as the extra content in Assignment Ada, Separate Ways, and The Mercenaries.Ī true passion project, the creators of the Resident Evil 4 HD project actually traveled to locations Capcom used for settings and textures in the game to record them in much higher resolution.
They also sharpened and improved upon what Capcom had in Resident Evil 4’s files where applicable. It was a painstaking process as co-creator Albert Marin described to The Verge in an interview. “Most textures are re-created from scratch using some texture library images as a base.
