Leaked ‘Resident Evil Village’ Image Shows Potential Plot Twist?

Adding insult to injury for Capcom this week is another potential leak for Resident Evil Village, though this one is self-inflicted. After the ransomware attack and reveal of a potential release date for Village, Capcom had updated its Steam page for the upcoming Resident Evil entry by potentially showing off a plot twist.

While nothing’s been confirmed, if you’re not in the mood for potential spoilers, you might want to skip this one.

Spotted by the folks at Biohazard Declassified, the image is the same one we’ve seen before of Chris Redfield against a snowy backdrop with the game’s title in front of him. However, when perusing the game’s SteamDB.info page, the image had been altered.

Further raising suspicion is the fact that this image was quickly reverted to the original one of Chris, but not before the updated version was snagged by internet sleuths. Now while one could jump to conclusions and say that Chris is potentially one of the Man-Beasts that’s slated to be a focus in Village, it could also be interpreted that in this game, Chris isn’t the upstanding hero that we’ve grown to love. After all, the trailer (and rumours) has hinted that Chris is going to factor into the plot as less of a protagonist.

Either way, this just adds to the intrigue for Resident Evil Village ahead of its release next year.

Resident Evil Village will be released for PC, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

The long wait for console owners to play Nightdive’s System Shock remake is finally over. Almost a year to the day the remake of the iconic 1994 FPS was released on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, System Shock is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.

“For the first time ever, the incredible world of System Shock is available to console gamers,” said Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios. “We’re so excited to introduce our take on this pioneering piece of gaming history to a whole new audience.”

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of System Shock have a physical and digital release, while the last-gen versions will be digital-only.

System Shock takes place in the year 2072. You are a nameless hacker, and you’ve been caught while attempting to access files concerning Citadel Station, a space station owned by the TriOptimum Corporation. However, in exchange for the dropping of all charges (and a military grade neural implant), you are tasked with hacking SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls the station. After hacking SHODAN, removing the AI’s ethical constraints, you are given the implants and put into a healing coma. You wake up six months later on board Citadel, and all hell has broken loose.

If you’re still on the fence of diving into System Shock, check out Harrison’s review, who stated that Nightdive “have absolutely achieved what they set out to do” in regards to updating and bringing the game to a modern audience.
