Resident Evil 4 Remake: Leaked Image – Villain Revealed?!

The alleged culprit of the Resident Evil 4 leak, a well-known voice actor of the series, is facing a serious lawsuit.

 

 

Resident Evil 4 is one of the most acclaimed titles among survival horror fans, has managed to stand out within the franchise to be worthy of a remake even in the VR format. The supposed existence of a remake has been one of the most talked-about rumours in recent months, and it seems a visual has leaked that could confirm these speculations.

Before we go any further, it’s worth noting that Capcom has made no official announcement, so the alleged existence of a Resident Evil 4 Remake will remain unverified until confirmation from the publisher is received. That said, it seems that a visual of one of the series’ most iconic villains, Albert Wesker, is circulating the web, showing the character in a much more modern graphical style than the original game. Birds are chirping that the leak is being caused by D.C. Douglas, a film voice actor. Douglas has previously appeared in several games in the franchise.

The actor, who has been accused of sexual harassment online, allegedly distributed the image to some of his fans without Capcom’s consent following a Twitch live stream in which he discussed his roles in Resident Evil, but as Eurogamer notes, Douglas has repeatedly denied this information:

“I have announced nothing, posted nothing, and repeatedly stated that I am not under any contract with Capcom (RE4 or otherwise).”

“I won’t be commenting further on any RE rumours because I have two cats that really need my attention. I excitedly await RE4 news just like the rest of you!” he shared in an Instagram story.

All of this information should not be misinterpreted, although the internet has been flooded with screenshots of the actor apparently sharing the picture with his fans, and he has also deactivated his Twitter account. Capcom, for their part, declined to comment on the rumours and claimed that they have no announcements in the pipeline regarding the franchise.

If we can take anything from all this, it’s that the community wants Resident Evil 4 to return in remastered form. Fortunately, fans need not fear, as we reported, there is a Spanish-initiated Resident Evil 4 HD Project in the works, which, if all is true, will arrive in its final version soon. And for those who want to delve even deeper into survival horror, there’s also the chance to try out the VR edition, which has become Meta Quest’s best-selling title.
