Capcom Announces Resident Evil Village, Coming 2021

Today on PlayStation’s Future of Gaming digital event, Capcom announced Resident Evil Village, the eighth entry in the Resident Evil series. The all-new title is currently in development using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, which was used to create Resident Evil 7 biohazard, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Devil May Cry 5. Resident Evil Village is scheduled for a 2021 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Steam.

In the debut cinematic trailer released today, Capcom revealed a glimpse of the new setting and storyline of Resident Evil Village. Set a few years after Resident Evil 7 biohazard, the all-new storyline begins with Ethan and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new location, free from their past nightmares. Just as they are building their new life together, tragedy befalls them once again. Chris Redfield, the hero from the Resident Evil series who made a brief appearance in Resident Evil 7 biohazard, is reacquainted with the couple and horribly disrupts their life, leaving Ethan devastated and thrown into an entirely new nightmare.
