Resident Evil 4 Remake ‘Chapter 0’ Released to Bring Back Cut Content

Deleted scenes are hard to come by with video games, but a modder made it happen Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 remake took a fairly ambitious approach to updating this classic. The game reworked several sequences, toned down the original’s escort mission woes, and added the ability to parry a chainsaw, which was quite neat. One notable change was that Ashley’s playable sequences were far more in-depth and compelling, culminating in a nightmarish encounter with armored monsters in a crypt. It seems the remake was originally supposed to have even more Ashley-specific segments. Data miners found evidence of a scrapped prologue chapter which follows Ashley as she flees from her pursuers the night before Leon arrives in the village. While Capcom never completed the sequence, a modder combined the leftover pieces of this "Chapter 0" with existing in-game assets to create a playable version available on NexusMods. In the mod, Ashley uses her phone as a flashlight while navigating the village at night. After witnessing the cultists murder an outsider, she also sees Luis being captured. The modder provides a detailed breakdown of what was restored, recreated, and added from the game files. Essen
