Leaked ‘Resident Evil Village’ Image Shows Potential Plot Twist?
Adding insult to injury for Capcom this week is another potential leak for Resident Evil Village, though this one is self-inflicted. After the ransomware attack and reveal of a potential release date for Village, Capcom had updated its Steam page for the upcoming Resident Evil entry by potentially showing off a plot twist.
While nothing’s been confirmed, if you’re not in the mood for potential spoilers, you might want to skip this one.
Spotted by the folks at Biohazard Declassified, the image is the same one we’ve seen before of Chris Redfield against a snowy backdrop with the game’s title in front of him. However, when perusing the game’s SteamDB.info page, the image had been altered.
Further raising suspicion is the fact that this image was quickly reverted to the original one of Chris, but not before the updated version was snagged by internet sleuths. Now while one could jump to conclusions and say that Chris is potentially one of the Man-Beasts that’s slated to be a focus in Village, it could also be interpreted that in this game, Chris isn’t the upstanding hero that we’ve grown to love. After all, the trailer (and rumours) has hinted that Chris is going to factor into the plot as less of a protagonist.
Either way, this just adds to the intrigue for Resident Evil Village ahead of its release next year.
Resident Evil Village will be released for PC, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
For those keen on following up on our mid-year best-of list for video games, iam8bit and Yacht Club Games are teaming up in a new collection for Mina the Hollower, which not only brings the game’s iconic soundtrack by Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro to vinyl, but also offers fans some cool merchandise.
Available for pre-order now at iam8bit, the Mina the Hollower Collection includes the soundtrack on 3xLP ($64.99), a notebook ($19.99) and a Keychain Blind Box ($14.99). Those fans looking to have it all can pick up the entire collection in a vinyl bundle with the Mina the Hollower: Bone Up Bundle Edition. All products are available for pre-order today through August 17, with plans to ship in Q4 2026.
The Mina the Hollower vinyl soundtrack is pressed on rich Velvet Purple Splatter Vinyl, and features retro-inspired zoetrope artwork designed by Nimit Malava. The soundtrack also comes with a pair of special 3D glasses that enhances the cover art, paying homage to the retro nostalgia of the old-school, chip-tastic tracks composed by Yacht Club Games’ Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro.
iam8bit also offers up a series of collectible keychains as part of a Blind Box set. Those who purchase will receive one of six randomized Mina designs rendered in high-quality, squishy PVC rubber, with a Secret Chase Rare in the mix for some lucky buyers. Keychains are available to purchase individually or bundled in a set of three, and purchasing the bundle guarantees three unique keychains.
Lastly, there’s the Mina the Hollower Notebook, a 240-page notebook that replicates Mina’s in-game journal and is brought to life in a forest green faux-leather, with beautiful gold embellishments on its cover.
As mentioned, for completionists, you can grab the entire collection in the Mina the Hollower: Bone Up Bundle Edition, ($89.99). The bundle comes with the soundtrack, one Keychain Blind Box and Notebook.
And if you haven’t jumped into Mina the Hollower, you can find the game on PC via Steam and GOG, PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2.
