‘Resident Evil RE:Verse’ Receiving Open Beta Next Month
Capcom has kicked off their 25th anniversary celebrations of the Resident Evil franchise by announcing that the pack-in with Resident Evil Village, the PvP multiplayer game Resident Evil RE:Verse, will have an open beta across consoles and PC in April.
Announced via Capcom’s official Biohazard Twitter, the beta will run from April 8 at 2am ET to April 11 at 2am ET for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series, with the preload beginning on April 5th at 8pm ET. You’ll need to have a Capcom ID linked to your hardware before playing. Those who previously downloaded the game during its closed beta test won’t have to download it again.
The primary purpose of the test (according to the announcement page) is to check the server load, as well as any balance issues with the game itself. Any issues that arise during the test will potentially have the server taken down for maintenance, so don’t be surprised if everyone flooding the server to play causes some downtime.
Resident Evil RE:Verse launches alongside Resident Evil Village on May 7 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
