Resident Evil Village
Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Use mdy dates Vorlage:Infobox video game Resident Evil VillageVorlage:Efn is an upcoming survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom. It will be the tenth major installment in the Resident Evil series,[1] and the sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
The game was announced at the PlayStation 5 reveal event in June 2020, and is scheduled for release in 2021 for Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.[2]
Synopsis
The game is set a few years after the events of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. During the reveal Capcom's Kellen Haney said about the story: "Ethan's world suddenly comes crashing down once again when Chris Redfield, an unexpected yet familiar face makes an appearance, setting off a chain of events that sees a distraught Ethan seeking answers to Chris's shocking actions, and ultimately finding him in a mysterious village."[3] Events will take place in Europe.[4]
Just like Resident Evil 7, the game was developed on the RE Engine and is set in the first-person perspective.[3]
Development
Development of Resident Evil Village started in early 2017.[4]
While Resident Evil Village is recognized by Capcom as the eighth main game in the series, and its logo stylized to include the roman numeral "VIII" for 8, the game producers Tsuyoshi Kanda and Peter Fabiano stated in a Famitsu interview that the title choice was they considered the village to be another character in the game and "because we would like players to understand that" they reflected that in the title stylization. They also avoided calling the game by a typical abbreviation (such as RE8) as they wanted players to remember the Village part of the name.[4][5]
