‘Resident Evil Re:Verse’ Delayed Until 2022
In what will surprise very few people, Capcom has again delayed the launch of Resident Evil Re:Verse from its previous July 2021 release to 2022. The free companion multiplayer game was supposed to launch with Resident Evil Village back in May, but was delayed for unknown reasons. Prior to that, the open beta test for Re:Verse was temporarily pulled due to matchmaking issues.
Capcom’s justification for the delay this time is to allow the team to “deliver a smooth gameplay experience”. Capcom is planning to share updated launch details at a later date.
As for those who purchased a physical version of Resident Evil Village, Capcom recommends that you keep track of the included Resident Evil Re:Verse download code, or add it to your account now.
Resident Evil Village is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Google Stadia.
GSC Game World will be bringing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl fans the first expansion next month when “Cost of Hope” launches on August 20. The release will coincide with a new 2.0 update for the game. The devs will release more info on the expansion and the update in the coming weeks.
In Cost of Hope, players once again step into the role of Skif — the protagonist of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — as a mysterious PDA signal draws him into events unfolding alongside the main game’s story. Players will explore uncharted locations, encounter unexpected allies and enemies, discover powerful weapons, and experience a new story. With dozens of hours of content, your choices will shape the future of the Zone in this major new chapter of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga.
Launching in line with Cost of Hope will be a “massive” Update 2.0 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Available as a free update to all owners of the game, the update will upgrade the game to a new version of Unreal Engine 5, as well as bring a variety of new content and improvements.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will launch for PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.com, the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
