Despite its numbering, Resident Evil 4 was the sixth main entry in the series, released for Nintendo GameCube in North America and Japan in January 2005 before being ported to PlayStation 2 and later other platforms.

The story marked the return of Resident Evil 2 protagonist Leon S Kennedy and picked up six years after the events of the second instalment, following the former cop on a mission to rescue the president's daughter from the clutches of an arcane cult in a rural European village.

It also replaced the series' omnipresent zombies with Los Ganados, human hosts to a mind-controlling parasite.
