Resident Evil Village was only officially announced a few hours ago and Capcom has already decided to share a few more interesting details on the PlayStation 5 project. As part of a developer message, producers Tsuyoshi Kanda and Pete Fabiano explain how the title is optimised for the next generation of consoles as it takes a more action-oriented approach.
Fabiano says: "We were able to take all that we learned from those titles along with our internal development efforts and optimize the latest version of the [RE] engine for the next generation of consoles." Kanda adds: "With the combined power of next-gen and RE Engine, we can take our developers' visions to new heights. Once again we're planning a fresh take on survival horror -- this time upping the ante on action a bit."
The twosome then go on to explain that Resident Evil Village will feature realistic graphics, immersive audio, and will not dabble in load times. The eighth instalment is set a few years after Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and brings back protagonist Ethan Winters, but do you like what you've seen of the game so far? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Just give me it on PSVR2, and Half-Life Alyx, thanks.
Was hoping they'd reveal the Silent Hill reboot.
The Resident Evil reveal was the best part of the show for me.
@xRetrox Whats your favorite Resi?
@Flaming_Kaiser I love 2 and 4 equally. what are yours?
@xRetrox Same here, this was the highlight for me too.
This new game feels a bit like Resident Evil 4 so will be a much buy for me.
Character models looked like a downgrade from the resi 2/3 remakes. Nothing they can't improve in the coming months, of course.
Always stoked for a new SH based resi game. Let's go.
I'm not invested in Ethan, the first person perspective or RE:VII as a whole personally...
... But this really looks quite exciting. Definitely an interesting direction 😁
@oldschool1987 Don't care how good it is, Never playing a Res Evil game in VR again. Old man screaming at every little bump and bang for the next few months was not a good look.
Did that final image look like a mutated fetus?
"upping the ante on action"
Well, I eagerly look forward to RE10 having to reboot the series back to a horror franchise again.
Best part of the stream! This really needs to be on PSVR 🤞
Yesssssss! Chris Redfield is awesome! Can't wait!
To me this trailer felt like Resi found another shark to jump. Resi is at its best when it is quite claustrophobic, which is why 7 was such a return to form. I worry about this.
@oldschool1987 yeah, i'm waiting on the inevitable psvr2 release (gold edition), and i have no doubt that we shall see half life on psvr 2 so i'm patient enough to wait for that.
@huyi same! I hope you're right!
@TooBarFoo 😂😂😂 I'd love Alien Isolation in VR. Probably my favourite horror this gen.
First or third person I’m beyond excited for this. Looks like a new direction - the occult overtones! The creatures!
Not confirmed @Arugula I don't think but from the trailer I think it's safe to assume there's a good 75% chance they're probably gonna carry over the 1st person perspective from the previous entry
It’s looking like Resi 4 in first person, which could be really interesting. I loved VII and Ethan definitely grew on me towards the end.
RE Village didn't look the most jaw-dropping game on show during the PS5 reveal, but it's the most intriguing for me, and the trailer I've re-watched more than the other games from last night. The setting is different but really could be something special!
Definitely excited for this, whether it's first or third-person. More action sounds just fine to me. They did that with RE3Remake and it worked great - more shooting and action, but still had the creepy survival horror vibes. And yeah, getting major RE4 vibes from the setting and characters!
@xRetrox 2,1,3,4,0,5 dont hate any one really much even 5 had its charm. Never finished Code Veronica PS2 died and it a bit in the PS3 era so never bothored to get another one. Breakout 1,2 were a lot of fun and with the online era and the fun offline mode its a missed opportunity this generation. Revelations was fun too i think there where not really terrible main entries of Resi. Except part 6 but lets act like it never existed.😆
@Ear_wiG As long as we dont get a new Resi 6 debacle.
Capcom is on tracks for the last few years! Way to go
@xRetrox this and gt7 were my highlights. The rest was meh for me personally. My question is wheres all the launch games? Seen alot of 2021 not much of any 2020
@Flaming_Kaiser lol, I don't think we have any bad Resident Evil Games besides operation raccoon city.
@Moparhippy420 We've got a few months until PS5's release, so there's gonna be more announcements in the future.
@xRetrox That and the joke that was Resi 6 my problem was i had a laugh with the first massive scary biomutants in Chris his story. They made me laugh with something like Tyrant you felt the horror that was a joke. Then we got Leon with the ribcage zombies i died a little after that such a joke i could not finish the game. Raccoon City was bad but atleast i could stomic it enough too finish it.
@Flaming_Kaiser Yep that game was horrid.
@Nickolaidas you're joking right?
@Ear_wiG I died a little when i heard it sold. 😔
@Flaming_Kaiser Yep, with the Resident Evil name it'll sell good or bad I think, sadly... Did you like RE4? Did you play RE3Remake?
@Ear_wiG I loved 4 Ashley was a little annoying but i got used too it and the gameplay was such a step ahead and that chainsaw guy i loved it and the kost terrifying enemies regenerators. 😃👌
I have yet too start the Resident Evil games such a backlog i always stay at 1 game untill its finished. Oh that not true i played Revelations 1 and 2.
@Flaming_Kaiser Ha, yeah she was the stereotypical damsel in distress in that game...
Both the RE2 and RE3 remakes are fantastic, totally worth playing. But kudos to you for sticking with one game at a time! I have such a short attention span these days... lol!
@Ear_wiG If i start another game i know i wont finish the other game Mad Max is still waiting. 😆
I have the Resident Evil 2 Collectors edition in seal i missed the Resident Evil 3 Collectors edition remake. 😢
Im at 54% at Jak and Daxter and that God forsaken MW seasonpass it keeps you chained down. So no more games with a seasonal pass or other stuff.That is why i dont start with AC Creed whatever yet. 😆
@Flaming_Kaiser Yep, there're just too many good games to play!
I just started AC Origins last week, but it's immediately getting pushed aside for LOU2 on Friday.
Somehow I never played Jak and Daxter... very sad!
RE3Remake is very short, but very good - I still see that collector's edition on Poopstop's website...
@Ear_wiG I got 2 parts from Limited Run Games i need to get the 3rd but at a normal price. 😆
The Resident Evil 3 Collectors Edition price is way too much i almost bought it from ebay but i can get a pro at that price.
@Flaming_Kaiser Meh, the game is what's most important. Just another statue collecting dust...
(I'm looking at you, weird Bridge Baby lamp on my shelf...)
@Ear_wiG Thats true but im a big Jill fan. 😆
Does it look cool the Bridge baby?
@Flaming_Kaiser It's cool, and also a very weird thing to have sitting on a shelf, ha! I wish the light inside the tank were brighter though. I want to mod it so I can plug it in and give the light more juice.
Jill is one of the best characters 100%
