Man, Capcom's multiplayer spin-off just can't catch a break, can it? Resident Evil Re:Verse, the multiplayer companion piece to Resident Evil Village, was due to launch sometime this month, although we never did get a full release date. Now, the publisher has decided to push back the launch even further: it's now expected to arrive in 2022.
As stated in the above tweet, the team has delayed the game in order to "deliver a smooth gameplay experience", and will announce a new release date in the future. Given the lukewarm reception the title has received up to this point, perhaps a delay isn't such a bad idea. However, it was supposed to arrive alongside Village, so anyone who was looking forward to playing this in May probably isn't too happy.
Anyway, Re:Verse is now off the cards until next year. Were you excited to play it this summer? Tell us in the comments section below.

This is never coming out.
Yeah this is gonna get shelved. Capcom can’t seem to figure out RE multiplayer outside of Co-op.
Does anyone actually care about/want this anyway???
They really should have pumped these resources into expanding RE8 Mercenaries 🤦
I was gonna try it for 10 minutes or so, so I could play as Ada in 2021 (in a new RE.) Guess I can wait.
I never believe it when people say 'I forgot this existed'. I forgot this existed.
Just stop wasting money and cancel this already capcom. And put that money to re4 remake and re9.
Making the bare bones Mercenaries in Village more like the raid mode in Revelations 1 & 2 would have been better, I know this is PvP but I don't think it will hold a huge player base.
@wiiware They're already working on a Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Please just cancel it. Nobody asked for it, nobody wants it. Use the resources to work on RE8 dlc / RE9.
Nobody cares, wants or asked for this. Its a completely pointless addition. Didn't they learn anything from that atrocious Umbrella Corps thing they released?
I think "working to deliver a smooth gameplay experience" has become the mantra for a lot of video game studios.
@LTPenguin Yeah, Factions 2 is another case in point. The MP add-ons are clearly harder to implement than it looks. I doubt Re-Verse will be worth it, and maybe Factions 2 also, seeing as the teams could be using the time on the next SP project. We’ll see. I hope to pleasantly surprised with the quality when these actually get released.
Please save yourselves Capcom and cancel this jumbled mess of a multiplayer experience. Focus on what you guys do well.
Cancel it altogether and focus on something more worthwhile.. I don’t think many at all are looking forward to it.
Hahaha oh man it was supposed to come out next month and now its delayed until next year? There was already such little hope for this to succeed and they just drove the nail even further into the coffin. I guess Capcom was due for an L
It wasn't well received by anyone so I'm surprised they going to tidy it up, might as well cut their losses and release half baked game and hope they make profit. There's way too much competition as well.
Or it could be steller and makes them bucket loads.
Is this really worth the time and effort, Capcom? All signs point to, NO
@The_New_Butler that sounds really cool!
I thought this was already out, assumed it came out along side Village. Well there you go, learn something new everyday lol
Absolutely nobody is interested in this.
Yawn... why can't they just make a coop resident evil instead of this crappy pvp stuff?
I loved RE Village but I wasn't looking forward to this at all. Put those resources towards RE Revelations 3 instead. I loved the co-op on Revelations 1 & 2 for Switch! I can't wait for RE 4 Remake & RE 9!
I played the beta and it could use a lot if work. So much in fact, that I wonder if the resources it needs to be a tolerable experience are better spent elsewhere.
Or how about they just cancel it, save them wasting resources
Just scrap it & give us good dlc
Capcom you've been on a good run lately but let this die. Even when it comes out it wont last too long. Stick to single player, maybe coop in the next dmc
been a fan since the 1st resident evil on the PlayStation 1 . this isnt resident evil.
🤔 since when has resident evil been a online game.
Nobody wants this, lol. They should shelve it.
They should have put the resources into a better Mercenaries mode. The one we got was half baked to the extreme.
@Nepp67 co-op in RE games ruins any horror tension.
Honestly, I keep wishing they'd turn this into a Mercenaries stand-alone instead of wasting time with this late 2000's multiplayer add-on. They've already got the necessary material, all it would take is a change in direction, and bam, you have yourself a decent product that might actually sell.
That said, I am a bit confused as to why this needs another 6+ months to develop, considering most of it's assets are recycled from previous games, using the same engine. Even in today's development climate, you'd think a quick cash grab like this would be, you know, quick to develop? As it stands, this just seems like a bomb waiting to go off that just keeps getting bigger.
Scrap this and get us that resident evil village dlc. So many stories to be told, something like the maiden demo for ps5, but fleshed out more. Or things like the bedroom dlc from resident evil 7, other stories set with the villains of village. Maybe another chris redfield focused add on too, maybe picking up what happens near the end of the game, going to bsaa europe headquarters. Anything but this clearly trainwreck multiplayer waiting to happen.
@Mad001 since 2021 and the dawn of loot boxes, live services and battle pass
And Res evil stared on the Saturn btw👍 I feel much older because of that fact 🙂
No DLC, I want a Code Veronica Remake instead
@Nintendo4Sonic They have already confirmed village dlc. But yes, a code veronica remake would be the best, it's now the worst one to play, needs a full overhaul for sure.
@colt3654 I know dude. I meant that I'd prefer a new game entry instead of Reverse or DLCs
@Nintendo4Sonic Ah, gotcha. I'd enjoy some village dlc, but to each their own. Although, all things dropped for a code veronica remake would be fine with me. I would of preferred them to do a code veronica remake over the re4 vr.
@huyi lol im a Nintendo guy only played sega at my cousin's. nephew buys loot crates and plays fortnight. long gone the days you bought the game and thats it! i miss those days lol
Greedy execs: "Yeah lets add a multiplayer, EVERYONE is doing it, we will make a battle royale, and everyone will love it, and play it, then we can make MORE money by selling gamers skins and items for exorbiant prices!" "We'll make MILLIONS!!"
@Saucymonk What if i am a loner, and I have no friends and i brought a game and it says " CO OP" on it? Are they making fun of my life?
@MakersMark You and me both. I have no friends too.
