Since its reveal earlier this year, we've sort of assumed that Resident Evil Re:Verse would launch on the same day as its bigger and better brother Resident Evil Village — the date of 7th May 2021. Re:Verse is provided as a free pack-in like Resident Evil Resistance, after all. However, it turns out that's not actually the case. This multiplayer spin-off designed to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary will release this summer.
Word of the unexpected release window got out through a Resident Evil Ambassador Program email, which we received ourselves. It read: "Resident Evil Re:Verse is created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Resident Evil! The service is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2021!" Video Games Chronicle followed up with Capcom, and a spokesperson confirmed a release window had never been communicated until now. One reason why it won't arrive day and date with Resident Evil Village could be the recent beta phases, which haven't exactly gone according to plan. A pre-release test stopped short earlier this month because of matchmaking issues.
At least Resident Evil Village will still have a ton of content to keep us going until then when it arrives next week, including a campaign and the return of The Mercenaries mode. Had you been looking forward to Resident Evil Re:Verse? Explain why in the comments below.

Preorder cancelled
Wonder if Capcom got cold feet after the January showcase, because they realized Verse wasn't so hot a property and quickly added/developed a Mercenaries mode instead?
Operation Racoon City, Umbrella Corps, REsistance... and now this. Capcom really don't learn.
@shgamer I don't think they could have made that Mercenaries mode in just a few months, it looks pretty in-depth.
Mercenaries always wins out in Ressy games for me. But this RE:Verse looks interesting. I'll give it a go when its released.
Oh well who picks up THE survival horror series for shooty bang bang multiplayer???
Won't be downloading it anyway only interested in the single player campaign
Just please stop with the PVP modes for Resident Evil Capcom. All you're doing is dragging the name in the dirt. If you want to make an MP mode just do COOP like you did in the last 2 games for crying out loud.
Eh, just delay it indefinitely. We got Mercenaries.
Just cancel it, and use the assets to make a new Raid mode.
I kinda feel bad for whoever is still working on this because it is clearly an absolute misfire in terms of what fans are looking for and is destined to fail even before it releases
Tried out beta. It is not bad. Still need improvement but definitely enjoyable. Need more modes even if traditional multiplayer mode. They might offer for free and sell in game cosmetics?
Honestly, make a good Left 4 Dead style mode, where there are team puzzles and open areas. Coop works, vs is stupid in this RE.
They should have stuck with Resistance and added more to it. Fun game once you get past a few matches.
No one wants terrible multiplayer RE, how have they not gotten that message yet, how many terrible multiplayer tie-ins does there needs to be
@Logonogo I'm assuming it's the handi in the head uncle's nieces nephew of the CEO and they didn't wanna put him somewhere that actually mattered
