Get ready to jump back into the action.

The title was released on March 23, and it remains true to the original title for the most part. Resident Evil 4 remake will feature the same list of beloved characters, such as Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong, Wesker, and more.

Given that any changes could alter the remake’s main storyline, many potential players have wondered if this will impact the length of the game. Fortunately, it stayed similar to the original game.

How long does it take to beat the Resident Evil 4 remake?

In an interview with Resident Evil 4 remake producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, the horror remake will be the same approximate length as the original game. Each player’s exact playtime will vastly differ depending on skill, difficulty setting, and optional side content. If players are trying Resident Evil out for the first time or have the game cranked up to the hardest difficulty, you can likely expect to put more hours into the game.

And he was right. After Resident Evil 4 remake was released on March 24, many players who completed it on day one claimed it to be around 15 hours long, depending on the difficulty. This number can increase up to 23–25 hours if you choose to complete every side activity, or to get every possible achievement or trophy there is.

With quality-of-life increases to the general gameplay, this time could also slightly shrink down. Some players have reported to finish Leon Kennedy’s adventure in around 10 hours once they got familiar with the game in their first playthrough.

Those who want to spend more time in Resident Evil 4 remake, but are tired of repeating the story over and over again, can wait for the free Mercenaries DLC, which is coming at the beginning of April.

This immensely popular title will see players assume the role of Leon Kennedy in his search for the president’s kidnapped daughter. While Resident Evil 4 remake begins simply enough, the plot quickly spirals into a globe-spanning threat. No matter how long it takes, players can look forward to setting out on this journey once again.
