Overall

 * Remix uses a brand new engine instead of the current one.
 * The blood and gore is toned down significantly in comparison to the original, to make it more akin to a psychological horror theme. However, the blood is still shown, just not as much as before.
 * 5 new characters based of their Blast designs.
 * Due to the gameplay refinements, the entire roster, or most of them, either have brand new weapons or brand new charge attacks to better fit their own play-style. Weapon Changes are as follows:
 * Xiahou Yuan now wields a Bow and Rod, in comparison to him wielding a Rod with his old charge attacks
 * Huang Zhong uses a Dao in the Remix instead of him using a Podao (His weapon is a Podao skin) in 9, and the Tooth and Nail bow in Bloodlines. The latter is now used by Yan Yan.
 * Cao Pi has new charge attacks similar to his old move-set
 * Sun Jian's Inferno Voulge are now used by Sun Jing to make him unique from Zhou Cang.
 * Zhenji receives new charge attacks similar to her old move-set.
 * Dong Zhuo receives a new belly flop animation for one of his charge attacks.
 * Taishi Ci's weapon speed is now more akin to his 6: Special
 * Sun Shangxiang now has some arrows involved in her charge attacks, similar to Huang Zhong. She also gets a new
 * Five new items are available. In addition, some of the returning items
 * the AI system is no longer able to run away from the oncoming dangers.
 * 2 new difficulties are added: Beginner and Insanity. Insanity is the most difficult mode yet. Enemies are extremely unforgiving, brutal, and supplies are significantly scarce, making it harder to win the battle. However, the reward for completing missions is greater than the previous difficulties.
 * 7th Weapons have been added with new designs. The only way to receive the 7th weapons was through Insanity difficulty.
 * the Character Creator is now updated to something similar to Nioh 2. In addition, the Bodyguard section is overhauled in similarity to Dynasty Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends.
 * the two main characters (Marie and Deng Zhi) now have received updated variations of their current designs.

Marie's Story

 * Marie is no longer cowardly, but she is still nervous. And also, Marie's backstory has been rewritten into her simply being worried about the future of the Wu faction. In addition, Marie now has a younger variant
 * The story about Marie hailing from another timeline is scrapped. Instead, Marie's name is kept, being her secret name from Sun Deng.
 * All bosses now have a damage limiter, similar to Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, making it more harder for Marie to beat bosses.
 * The Brute Necromorph is significantly strengthened, making it harder to defeat him.
 * Sun Luban receives well-needed buffs to make her on par with her older sister.
 * Marie is now able to interrogate people, a notable contrast from her previous appearance.
 * Sun Xiu appears a bit earlier than expected. However, he still becomes the next Emperor of Wu after Marie.

Deng Zhi's Story

 * Like Marie, his story bosses have a damage limiter, carried from the first story. In addition, Zhi can also interrogate people, like Marie herself. However, Zhi's options are a bit more brutal, akin to his style.
 * While his story is mostly retained, the ending is re-written to make Jiang Wei even more hated.
 * Deng Yin's portion includes a stealth mission that is compulsory to complete.
 * As soon as Deng Yin becomes playable, the saved stats from her father are carried into her, making it a lot easier for her to level up. This is a difference from the original, where she would be Level 1.

DLC Stories

 * Both stories now include a consequence system, where the decisions both Jun and Chen make affect the ending of their own stories. This is a major difference from the original, where the former focuses on a lot of gore while the latter focuses on
 * Jun's story rewrites some
 * Chen's story
