Albert Wesker Artwork May Hint at Resident Evil 4 Remake
D.C. Douglas, the voice actor of Resident Evil's Albert Wesker, has reportedly shared a concept art for the remake of the fourth game. Rumors that Capcom was working on a remake have been making rounds on the web for over a year.
There's a good chance that before we see a full-fledged successor to the 5, but not in RE4, in which Richard Waugh played this role) allegedly shared a concept art of this character with several people, pointing out that they shouldn't share it with anyone, because he is bound by a confidentiality agreement (see screenshot below).
The actor allegedly posted the above screenshot on his Twitter - @thedcdouglas - which was later deleted. Despite this, the image itself was not lost; it was shared again by a person who runs a profile on the same social network called Helping Spread Awareness (@BewareCreepyVAs). The image, however, leaves no illusions as to who originally shared it.
Leaving aside the actor's questionable action, it seems that Capcom is indeed working on a refresh of the fourth Resident - and one that's on a par with the remakes of came out that due to the vision being too faithful to the original, the development was taken over by an internal Capcom team called Division 1.
This may have slightly prolonged the development, but three months ago the Twitter of the Japanese company posted quite a spotted an easter egg - the logo of Los Illuminatos from Resident Evil 4. Something seems to be up, and the publisher's increasingly bold winks may suggest that we'll be hearing about the title in 2022. Until then, however, we should approach all news about it with caution.
