New Resident Evil 4 Remake trailer quenches our Luis thirst

News

Do you smoke?

As part of PlayStation’s latest State of Play, Resident Evil 4 Remake received a brand new trailer, and it turned out to be a wild ride in every sense of the word.

While previous showcases have highlighted the darker tone the remake is taking on compared to its predecessor, this one scratched a whole different itch by being as loud, hectic, and bombastic as possible.

It was all there: Leon suplexes, cheesy one-liners, flaming catapults – with a very noticeable addition in the extended screen time for Luis Sera. Fans of the original will note that despite his iconic portrayal, the cheeky Spanish partner played only a minimal role in the 2005 edition.

Resident Evil 4 Remake appears to have significantly increased Luis’ screen time, now placing him in areas he’s never seen before, such as: He jokes with Leon all the time, which has us wondering how exactly he’ll work when the game releases next month.

Could he even have been upgraded to pseudo-Sheva status and act as a commanding partner in certain parts? What happens if we “accidentally” shoot him in these new locations? We don’t have to wait long to find out, especially since the trailer also revealed that a special demo was on the way.

Even better, it’s been announced that the beloved Mercenaries mode will indeed be making a comeback – a happy revelation for fans of its unique brand of carnage.

What do you think of Luis’ souped-up role in Resident Evil 4? Are you looking forward to taking him for a spin, or are you more worried about his unique powers of observation staying intact? Resident Evil 4 Remake will be released on March 24th, 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC and Xbox Series X|S.
