How many chapters in Resident Evil 4 remake? Main story length & completion time

Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 Remake is a complete makeover for the series’ legendary fourth mainline entry, but will the new changes change how long it takes to beat the horror game?

Following the success of other remakes in the franchise, it was a surprise to no one that a Resident Evil 4 Remake was commissioned. The game is regarded by many as the best in the series and perfectly blended horror and action in a seamless third-person adventure.

This is why 2023 will see the return of the game via a brand-new retelling of the original. Resident Evil 4 Remake will still retain a majority of the elements that made it so popular, but new features have been added, and players are wondering if this has influenced the game’s runtime.

How long is Resident Evil 4 Remake?
