Most Resident Evil fans will agree that the official HD version of Resident Evil 4 is not as great as it can be. While the title outputs in 1080p, and the game for the most part plays the same, many of the game’s individual components weren’t improved that well. It has been the mission of modder Albert Marin and some others to give the game the remastering it should have originally gotten, starting the Resident Evil 4 HD Project back in 2014. Eight years later and it seems like the mod is officially ready for release.

Marin has released the official final trailer for Resident Evil 4 HD Project, and the results speak for themselves. In the 5-minute trailer, Marin calls attention to the variety of improvements their mod makes for the game. Some of these updates include HD remasters of “every single texture” in the game and UI, enhanced lighting effects, and “thousands of 3D model revisions.” The mod will be available for download from the main Resident Evil 4 HD Project website on February 2.

Not only does the mod improve the campaign, but also the litany of bonus content featured in Resident Evil 4 as well. Both side campaigns starring Ada Wong—Assignment Ada and Separate Ways—as well as The Mercenaries horde mode have received a full share of improvements themselves. Notably, the Ada stories and The Mercenaries were missing from Resident Evil 4 VR when it launched this past fall, but Capcom has since confirmed the latter game mode is coming sometime in 2022.

For those who have been following the project all these years, and for Marin and their team of modders, it is going to be an exciting day when the mod officially releases. It says a lot about the Resident Evil 4 fanbase who, out of their adoration for the game, have gone to such painstaking lengths in remastering the game themselves.

Like any other mod, they can’t make money off of the HD Project, and yet, for the amount of work put into this, there are many that would gladly pay for something like this. With speculation of a Resident Evil 4 Remake in the works, one has to wonder where the HD Project will ultimately fall if that title actually releases.

Resident Evil 4 is available on GameCube, Oculus Quest 2, PC, PS2, PS3, PS4, Wii, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
