Resident Evil 4 Remake PC Controls and Key Bindings Guide

by Mike Alexander / Articles, Game Controls & Hotkeys, Resident Evil / 16 Feb 2022

I remember playing Resident Evil 4 back on the GameCube. It was 2005, and I was probably too young to be playing any kind of Resident Evil, but my uncle was playing it & it just looked so cool. I didn’t have the context of Leon’s history and growth till many years later, so the rookie cop-turned-action hero everybody else was experiencing was just the coolest borderline superhero character I knew of at the time.

That was eighteen years ago. I’m much older now, I’ve experienced more of life, and I’ve played through all of the Resident Evil games. I never finished Resident Evil 4 back then because I was a scaredy cat, but I’m very excited to dive into the Resident Evil 4 remake as an adult to finally kick its ass. I’m sure I’m not alone either, Resident Evil 4 has sold millions of copies across its many re-releases, so I’m sure this long-awaited remake will sell very well.

For all of those people going back to experience this improved version of Resident Evil 4, I am here with a helpful resource for you. It’s the Resident Evil 4 Remake keyboard controls and key bindings guide, and it has all of the information you need to make it out of the Ganado-infested country alive, with the president’s daughter in hand. Or on your shoulder, I remember there was some carrying involved. Go ahead and keep this page up while you play so you can quickly check it in a pinch!!!
