Rumour: ‘Resident Evil 8’ to Support PSVR
The heavily-rumoured Resident Evil 8 no longer has Twitter as its source of information, as Gematsu has also reported on Capcom studio M-Two developing the sequel through sources of its own. Not only that, but Gematsu’s source has also dropped news that a remake of Resident Evil 4 is indeed the real deal.
Gematsu’s source has also revealed a rather terrifying tidbit: Much like Resident Evil VII, RE8 will support PSVR. How this will factor into the upcoming sequel’s next-gen plans remains to be seen (or if it’s PS4-only), but if it’s anything like what we experienced with RE7, it’ll be delightfully terrifying.
While still not confirmed by Capcom, the Resident Evil 4 remake and Resident Evil 8 are reportedly due out in 2021 for current and next-gen consoles.

Get a Taste of the Action-Packed Terror in the Demo for FPS Shooter ‘BLIGHTEN’ [Trailer]
For those itching for some throwback first-person shooter action, Blight Software has just had a demo released for their upcoming FPS BLIGHTEN. The demo sees you and your squad selected to eliminate the last rebels in the eastern wastes, only to have your slaughtered, and you trapped in a decaying research facility. And you’re not alone.
You’ll explore every room of the facility for resources and weapons in an effort to stay alive. Luckily, you’ll have an extensive arsenal of various firearms at your disposal, from shotguns to assault rifles.
You’ll need them in order to take down the various blight-ridden mutated horrors throughout the mega structure. As one would expect, you’ll need to scrounge for parts and ammo, so make every shot count.
Similar to what players experienced in the early PlayStation classic Alien Trilogy, BLIGHTEN sports hand-drawn enemy sprites and animation in a 3D retro world, creating a unique and dynamic atmosphere while still scratching that throwback itch.
It’s all wrapped up in a dark narrative, where an unseen evil lurks in the shadows of the facility, shaping the horrors around you as you descend deeper into the facility. As you navigate this industrial nightmare, every Blightened creature slain is a grim reminder to what you’ve lost — and the things you’re fighting for.
Look for BLIGHTEN later this year on Steam.
