After months of rumors and speculation, Capcom officially confirmed that Resident Evil: Village is in the works.

Resident Evil: Village will be the eightieth entry in the main series and will once again be a first person horror survival. Set several years after the events of the previous game, players will once again take on the role of Ethan Winters pursing Chris Redfield in a village.

Checkout the announcement trailer to have an idea of what to expect.

Very little about the plot has been revealed. The current detail given show that this new outbreak does turn its victims into wolf like BOW’s. The world is split between a village and a castle, the country is unknown at the moment. It’s unclear if this is the work of the mysterious organization that was featured in the last title. More details about the plot will be unveiled in the future.

The game is set to launch for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC in 2021. There is no word if the game is playable with PlayStation VR or other VR headsets for the PC. That information will be confirmed in the future.

To have an idea of what the game will be like, check out my review of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard for the PS4. The most resent title was the Resident Evil 3 remake that was released back in April.
