Resident Evil 8 Village: The most important information & leaks
UPDATE: Event features Resident Evil 4 Remake, Horde Mode & more
New trailer: During the Resident Evil 8 showcase, a new trailer was presented right at the beginning. Here it quickly turns out that Mother Miranda is actually the direct focus of the story. She seems to be good though and to protect the villagers.
However, Chris Redfield is staged as the Big Bad in this trailer and on the advertising banner. We still need to wait till May 7th until we find out how Chris Redfield is involved.
New demo: Just as predicted, there will be a new 60-minute long demo for Resident Evil 8 Village from May 1st, 2021. This is available on all platforms of the Xbox, PlayStation and PC. A PlayStation Early Access demo will follow later, which you can test for 8 hours. You can download it from now on.
New game mode: The Leaks about the new game mode were true, albeit it turned out differently than expected. This Resident Evil 8 mode is called “Mercenaries” and is very reminiscent of Call of Duty Zombies. You have to survive various waves of enemies, then improve your equipment and face even more waves.
You will also find abilities during a round that can increase your weapon damage or improve stamina, for example. As it became known, this mode is free and available from day one after the release of Resident Evil 8 Village.
Crossover with Dead by Daylight: Finally, a crossover was announced. This takes place in cooperation with the horror multiplayer action game Dead by Daylight. There will be a separate presentation on April 25th.
World premiere: Anime Series for Resident Evil & RE4 Remake
Anime is coming to Netflix: Fans have had to wait for what feels like an eternity, but now there is a first trailer for the upcoming Netflix series for Resident Evil. This is called “Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness”. It is set 2 years after the events of Resident Evil 4.
The series is a 3-D anime slated to start in July 2022. It is also looking very good for the reboot of the live-action adaptation of the franchise.
Resident Evil 4 VR: A really cool trailer for a VR remake of Resident Evil 4 has been presented. Next week on April 21st, more will be presented on this as well.
