Its unclear at this time whether the game will be exclusive to Quest 2 or whether it’ll be available for all headsets, this will likely be revealed in the near future.

It has been rumoured for a while that Resident Evil 4 will be getting the remake treatment like we’ve seen with Resident Evil 2 and 3 in recent years.

Now that doesn’t look to be the case, or at least not yet, perhaps this is what Capcom have been working on instead.
