Capcom Expands Testing of Unannounced ‘Resident Evil’ Game to The US
Last week, Capcom had announced that they were actively looking for playtesters in Japan to try out their currently-unannounced Resident Evil game. Capcom has now expanded their call to test to the US.
Select US-based members of Capcom’s RE Ambassadors program in New York and Los Angeles have been getting invites via email to “try out a new game in early development”. The tests will take place next month with Los Angeles residents on September 20 or 21, and New Yorkers on September 23 or 24.
The email does state that Capcom won’t be compensating you for your time or travel, however. And the requirement that each player “has played a Resident Evil title in the past” still stands. But come on, if you’re a member of the program, why wouldn’t you have played any Resident Evil title?
Developer Harebrained Scheme gave those eager to check out their upcoming survival horror RPG GRAFT some much-welcomed meat in the form of a new story trailer. The trailer not only touches on the body horror aspect of the game, but also the relationship you share with someone you care about, and the potential consequences you face on your journey through structure known as The Arc.
Currently in development for release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, GRAFT sees you attempting to escape the aforementioned rotting space station. The Arc is a continent-sized station that was once filled with biomechanically enhanced citizens, all working toward some greater purpose lost to time. Now the station is in ruins, its citizens now unrecognizable. And you have no idea how you got here.
In order to escape, you must tear pieces from your enemies to transform yourself into something new—something capable of surviving the horrors that prowl around you. Every Graft brings with it some piece of its previous owner’s identity, changing more than just your physical body.
However, you are not the only survivor in the desolation. Ancient feral experiments, strange abominations, and ruthless agents of a mad AI stalk you. You must use the tools in your growing arsenal as you fight through the horrors in a visceral new twist on classic survival horror combat. Know when to fight, and manage your resources carefully in order to escape alive.
