More Rumours Surface Involving ‘Resident Evil 8’
Remember that rumour involving Resident Evil 8 a few months back? Well, Dusk Golem is at it again on Twitter, this time apparently verified by Video Games Chronicle. Even still, temper your expectations (and your many grains of salt).
According to the leak, Resident Evil 8 will release on current and next-gen consoles next year, and will feature a first-person perspective and a return for the previous game’s protagonist, Ethan Winters. However, the kicker is that the game was originally Resident Evil Revelations 3 at the start of development. The story goes that RE8 was originally going to be years away, but Capcom didn’t want a huge gap between RE7 and RE8, so that title got pushed to the side in favour of Revelations 3 (which was also in development at the time), and that was turned into RE8.
Moreover, as Dusk Golem mentioned months ago, the game will have many narrative and mechanical departures for the series. These include hallucination and insanity segments, as well as enemies based on mythical creatures, including werewolves. In addition, the game will apparently have a “Snowy Village” segment, and also have a theme of not being able to trust others.
Lastly, the game was going to be revealed at this year’s E3, but with that no longer in the cards, we could potentially see something later this month.
Again, none of this is confirmed (obviously), so take it all as before. Still, with the high that Capcom is on with Resident Evil 3 at the moment, why wouldn’t you want to capitalize on it?
Right on schedule, Red Barrels has released “Project Boneyard” for The Outlast Trials. Available for free on PC and consoles for all current owners of The Outlast Trials, Reagents are thrown into Murkoff’s latest correctional nightmare, where authority is currency, punishment is policy, and riot makes way for revenge.
Sergeant Leland Coyle returns in a prominent new role for the season’s new Trial, Locksock the Warden. Sporting a brand new hat and an old appetite for control, Coyle is ready to inject more of his “cruel and unusual” style into the prison population.
As noted last week, Project Boneyard brings with it a new Trial, a new environment in the Prison Farm, new challenges, and a new Ex-Pop in The Biter.
Arms removed to prevent further self-harm, Biters are universal sadists, still capable of grievous harm with their mechanically enforced jaws. Though Biters are kept chained by the neck for safety, Reagents should approach with caution, as their augmented legs gift them with unexpected velocity.
Also part of the content is a new Deluxe Catalog, filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items for Reagents looking to express themselves under Murkoff-approved supervision. The Deluxe Catalog is permanently available, allowing you to unlock items at whatever pace suits you.
Players can also partake in the game’s first limited-time Community Event in the Blood Drive. Blood Extractors have been installed in multiple Trial Environments, and Reagents are strongly encouraged to donate generously. Designed as a community-wide event, Blood Drive is Murkoff’s blood supply for an upcoming project. Every contribution helps advance the collective goal. As the community reaches new milestones, additional rewards will be unlocked for all participating Reagents. However, a minimum donation will be required within the trial environment to qualify for claiming event rewards.
The Outlast Trials is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox.
