Genre: Survival Action Horror

Gameplay Mechanics & Evolution

Six years after the biological disaster in Raccoon City, agent Leon S. Kennedy is dispatched to a secluded European village to rescue the U.S. President's kidnapped daughter. Confronted by mind-controlled villagers worshiping the Las Plagas parasite, survival requires aggressive resource management and combat precision.

The remake introduces revolutionary combat tweaks—most notably the combat knife parry system capable of deflecting chainsaw strikes, execute prompt counters, and fluid weapon switching via quick-assign shortcuts.

PS VR2 Virtual Reality Mode Breakdown

Available as a free DLC update on PlayStation 5, the PS VR2 mode translates the entire main campaign into full 360-degree virtual reality. Players physically reach to their hips for handguns, pull shotguns from their shoulders, and manually knife-fight parasites in heart-pounding room-scale 4K HDR vision.
