Capcom delivered with the reveal of Resident Evil 8: Village at the PS5 Future of Gaming Event. The leaks it seems turned out to be true, with werewolves, Chris Redfield and some damn scary scenes. Look out for it next year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC.
The story for the game sees it taking place a few years after the events of Resident Evil 7, where protagonist Ethan Winters travelled to Louisiana to search for his missing wife, Mia. Resident Evil 8 sees the reunited Mia and Ethan living happily together and putting their shared nightmares of the Baker’s plantation house behind them. Finally able to move on from those horrifying events, Ethan’s world suddenly comes crashing down once again when Chris Redfield, an unexpected yet familiar face makes a shocking appearance, setting off a chain of events that sees a distraught Ethan seeking answers to Chris’s shocking actions, ultimately finding him in a mysterious village…
RE8 will see the return of the first-person perspective, while the fear of dark corners has been replaced with the anxiety of the unknown as Ethan searches for answers within decrepit buildings among snow-covered trees. And if all the leaks are anything to go by (which they haven’t been confirmed as of yet), we’re in for a real treat.
Check out the reveal trailer below.
