Someone unearthed deleted data from Resident Evil 4 Remake Chapter 0

When discussing exceptional game remakes, many undoubtedly think of Resident Evil 4 Remake. It excels in every aspect, from gameplay mechanics that have been enhanced and evolved, to a refined narrative that trims unnecessary parts while adding meaningful new content. The characters have been updated to suit modern times, and the environments have been beautifully redesigned to meet current standards. Recently, data miners discovered something intriguing within the game's files: a sequence called 'Chapter 0.' This segment would have allowed players to control Ashley during the initial moments of her abduction and arrival at the village. However, this section was ultimately cut from the final game. Let’s dive into the details of this story

The details come from a ResetEra user named Crossing Eden, who shared interesting information about the Resident Evil 4 Remake Chapter 0 on the YouTuber channel Thekempy (who previously explored cut content from the Uncharted series). Crossing Eden released a video at the end of 2025 detailing the files still present in the Resident Evil 4 Remake data, referred to as 'Chapter 0'. Although this prologue was cut during development, enough residual files remained, allowing Thekempy to create a reconstruction of this introductory sequence for us to see

According to Thekempy, Resident Evil 4 Remake's 'Chapter 0' begins after Ashley witnesses a sacrificial ritual in the forest (the beheading scene)—a sequence that appeared in early trailers but was omitted from the final release. From there, Ashley traverses a path near the lakeside settlement while attempting to evade the Ganados as she makes her way toward the village. The gameplay requires players to control Ashley as she sneaks in and out of huts while being hunted throughout the area. Along the way, she even spots a Ganado carrying Luis away. The sequence involves a continuous escape until she is eventually recaptured, leading into a cutscene that was featured in promotional trailers but is absent from the main game

One might guess that the development team intended 'Chapter 0', where you play as Ashley, to serve as an initial tutorial for the game's basic mechanics—specifically teaching the player about crouching and stealth in certain areas, which differs from older Resident Evil titles. However, the team ultimately cut it because the opening segment playing as Leon already serves this purpose. The cutscenes for this section were fully completed and utilized in the game’s trailers instead of the actual game itself (for those curious about which specific scene, check the end of the video clip). It is genuinely a shame that 'Chapter 0' wasn't included, as it would have offered a deeper perspective on the storyline of Resident Evil 4 Remake. What are your thoughts on this 'Chapter 0'?"
