Rumour: ‘Resident Evil 8’ Title, More Info Leaked
The rumours for the next Resident Evil keep coming. The latest batch, courtesy of Biohazard Declassified, echoes some of what Dusk Golem had mentioned a few days back, along with some brand new tidbits. Check your sodium levels, because once again, none of this has been verified/confirmed by Capcom.
For starters, RE8 has a title: Resident Evil Village. And much like the Resident Evil VII script, Capcom is apparently playing with the font, highlighting the ‘VIII’ in ‘Village’. Also, the game will have a European setting, which is where Ethan from RE7 encounters Chris Redfield.
Speaking of Chris, he will undergo another redesign, and be playing an integral part in RE8. He appears in flashbacks surrounding Ethan, Mia, and apparently their baby. As for enemies, a new one is a Witch that will be similar to Marguerite, in that she operates with insects. She will haunt the player, and has a distinctive laugh.
And as mentioned before, hallucinations will apparently also play a part in the game, further emphasizing the theme of distrust with whomever you meet. The game will apparently return to the Resident Evil 4 inventory management style, so get used to rotating those sprays. Lastly, the game is slated to release in Q1 of 2021, but that might change, given the circumstances.
Rumor: RE8 is called RESIDENT EVIL VILLAGE (notice the VIII)
– Chris to play a central role; has been redesigned

While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
