Good news, Resident Evil fans – Capcom has dropped a new video that shows off new gameplay footage that shows off chapter five. 

The 12-minute segment published in partnership with Game Informer gives us an "extended" closer peek at how the reimagined cemetery and church sequences now look in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Did you catch the news that Resident Evil 4 Remake is adding side quests and breakable weapons but has "barely any" QTEs? These details and more also came courtesy of Game Informer's latest issue, which reveals a lot about the upcoming remake, including some things we didn't know before.

Calling QTEs "antiquated", Capcom has replaced the Resident Evil staple "with mechanics more befitting of a modern AAA horror title". This'll be most apparent in knife fights where - instead of a series of QTEs - you'll need to use your knife to parry attacks (and desperately hope they don't break on you).

We also recently confirmed that Resident Evil 4 Remake also plans to tweak Ashley Graham in a bid to make her a more useful (and less irritating) traveling companion. To that end, she no longer has a health bar but will be "downed" if she takes enough hits... and killed completely if repeatedly hurt whilst downed, of course. Sidequests in Resident Evil 4 Remake will now appear on the map as blue flyers, too.

Resident Evil 4 Remake launches on March 24 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, and last-gen consoles. It's also coming to PSVR2, too, which means you have a couple of weeks to stock up on extra underwear.

Horror isn't just for Halloween, you know - here are our tips for the very best horror games.
