During its Tokyo Game Show 2020 presentation, Capcom showcased the upcoming Resident Evil Village.
We get to see a video including development commentary. It showcases game footage, artwork, and a look behind-the-scene of development. You can watch it below.
Interestingly, the developers also mentioned that PS4 and Xbox One versions are being considered, but they can’t promise it’ll happen for now.
If you’re unfamiliar with Resident Evil Village, here’s an official description from Capcom.
Set a few years after the critically acclaimed 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 legendary 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.
The first-person action in Resident Evil Village begins when players assume the role of a distraught and shattered Ethan as he seeks to uncover the mysterious new horrors that plague a once peaceful village. Throughout this terrifying journey, players will fight for every breath as they are hunted by vicious new enemies that have infested the snow-capped locale. Channeling the capabilities of next generation consoles, the detailed realism and relentless feeling of fear will increase with each desperate battle for survival, while moments of calm will leave players wondering what new horrors await.
Resident Evil Village will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Steam in 2021.
