Resident Evil 8 Village: Capcom Confirms Next Demo Belongs to Endgame

For long months, players have been waiting for the arrival of a new installment of Resident Evil, an eighth part that will lead us to live an exciting adventure full of great dangers and imposing creatures. And so we are presented with Resident Evil Village, the exclusive adventure for the next generation.

Capcom confirms that the next Resident Evil 8 demo belongs to the final game

For PlayStation 5 players, there is a great opportunity to try Maid, the technical demo of Resident Evil Village that serves as a small preview of what is to come.

Although it is not in itself the closest proposal to the final work, it does bring us a little closer to Lady Dimitrescu and her witches as well as, of course, being able to visit some of the rooms that will be present in the castle. All while we try to get out of the great danger that lies ahead.

But it seems that while this demo serves as a light approach to the true action and horror of the game, the new demo will be completely different. This has been confirmed in the article published in Weekly Famitsu magazine, where Capcom confirms that the content of the next demo will be part of the main game.

Therefore, we must expect not only large doses of terror, but also know the playable news regarding the shooting system and even a small look at the great map that awaits us.

Of course, at the moment there is no date to which we can hold on to know a little more in depth what is to come, but we will have to be patient for this great moment.

What we can hope is that this demo is close since Resident Evil 8 Village will have its great premiere on May 7 , so the company could be more than interested in this demo that brings us closer to the action has its publication between end of this month or April.

As for Maid, it is a demo of approximately 10 minutes in which our character must try to avoid one of the witches and, of course, leave the place alive.

Although it helps us to know some of the mysteries that will be presented and even reveal part of that great power of the villain that has become a benchmark within the saga even before the premiere of the game, for the moment thanks to this demo we can witness the reality of this new world in which Ethan Winters will have to cope to survive.

Resident Evil 8 Village: Revealed how much it will occupy on PS5 and Xbox Series X | S

Many users are beginning to cross out the days for the great launch of one of Capcom’s most anticipated video games in 2021. Resident Evil 8: Village will be released on May 7 and promises to be the best survival horror in the saga and in history.

The developers previously explained that they referenced one of the brand’s favorite titles, Resident Evil 4, to create a unique sense of horror. The expectations are very high, but with everything shown, the delivery will not disappoint the fans and followers of this popular franchise.

With all the information presented by Capcom, we now also know new details about how much the new installment will occupy in the next generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft.

Thanks to the official store of the American company we know that Resident Evil 8: Village occupies a space of 35 GB on Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S. To all this must be added the 15 GB of Resident Evil RE: Verse, the multiplayer section that will accompany the new launch for free.

For PlayStation 5 the news is equally optimistic, since it has been leaked that the storage size on the console will be 27,325 GB, although the truth is that this figure does not include the Day one patch. So, we can imagine that the end result will be very similar to the weight of Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S.

The latest issue of EDGE magazine has had the opportunity to interview the director of Resident Evil 8, Morimasa Sato.

In words collected by the WCCFTech medium, the head of the next installment of the franchise has given interesting data and thrown a message that has set off alarms among fans of the saga. The reason? “The biggest surprise you could imagine awaits Ethan in this story.”

Of course, the Japanese has not delved into details in order to maintain the mystery, but his words have not been overlooked by the Resident Evil community, and they already theorize about the events that could occur throughout the adventure.

Another aspect that Sato wanted to emphasize is terror. Already in previous statements, Capcom assured that Resident Evil 8 had everything to be the best survival horror in history. On this occasion, Morimasa has gone one step further.

“Terror and fear are one of the central axes of the saga, and I would like to warn you not to take anything you have seen so far as a sign that you can relax in terms of horror content,” he says.

Resident Evil 8 will be the best survival horror ever, according to Capcom

Capcom goes with everything in Resident Evil 8: Village. The Japanese studio has openly declared that the new game in the series has all the elements to become the best survival horror to date.

One of the keys to achieving such a great task has been to take as a reference one of the brand’s favorite titles, but also one of the best valued. We are talking about Resident Evil 4, as many of you may have already guessed.

‘We took inspiration from RE4. We have strived to create an authentic feel. There are many surprises that will keep you on your toes’, highlights Peter Fabiano, video game producer.

As the creative and executive of Resident Evil 8 recounted in a recent meeting for the official PlayStation magazine, part of the secret lies in the balance they have reached between the classic elements of the brand: puzzles, exploration and combat.

The director of the play, Morimasa Sato, also wanted to emphasize that one of the fundamental pieces of Resident Evil 8 is to make the player feel that they are inside a horror movie that you can play.

Resident Evil 8 Village will be much bigger than Resident Evil 7

In a recent interview, developer Capcom has discussed new aspects of what awaits us with Resident Evil 8: Village. Its predecessor, Resident Evil 7, stood out for having a shorter story than previous games in the saga, however the same will not happen with Resident Evil 8.

As Capcom commented, with Resident Evil 8: Village we want the player to be able to enjoy more with their main story. That is why when developing the game they have worked to make it much bigger than Resident Evil 7, something that players and fans of horror games have received with great emotion.

There were already rumors that this new game could have much more importance in the exploration part , however it was not until now that it was confirmed that its main story would be longer than that of its predecessor.

There are still a couple of months to get to know the game in detail, but this data will help many players decide to buy it.

How tall is Lady Dimitrescu, the villain of Resident Evil 8?

Since the announcement of Resident Evil 8, Capcom has aroused the interest of players for a title that will once again bet on the first-person perspective as well as a gothic and rural setting, taking European legends as a reference.

It is impossible to deny that the presence in the latest trailer of Lady Dimitrescu, the villain of the video game, has caught Capcom itself off guard.

Twitter, social networks and forums have been flooded with countless fandoms of this character who is clearly one of the most striking in recent years.

From the Japanese company they wanted to thank the support of the fans towards the character, sharing some interesting information, including his height, undoubtedly a characteristic that draws powerfully attention. Information provided by the art director of Resident Evil 8: Village, Tomonori Takano.

As the Japanese company explains, Lady Dimitrescu is 2.9 meters tall, yes, including heels and a hat. Dimitrescu’s daughters, also vampires, have received great support from the community.

RE: Verse, the multiplayer mode of Resident Evil 8, shown in a 90-minute gameplay

With the announcement of Resident Evil 8, Capcom not only had the news of the release date or collector’s edition reserved. The Japanese studio also introduced the video game’s multiplayer mode, titled RE: Verse. 

Now we can learn a little more about this online aspect that will face the known enemies of the brand, against its heroes thanks to a complete gameplay of up to 90 minutes.

As we can see in the video, the games will face from 4 to 6 players. The modality will be the deathmatch, combats that will take place in some of the most famous scenes of the franchise and where we will not only have to kill the rest of the characters, but also collect virus samples.

One of the peculiarities of RE: Verse is that when we die we do not end the game, but we will see ourselves become one of the enemies of the saga.

Resident Evil 8 reveals release date, PS5 demo, collector’s edition and more

Resident Evil 8 has already confirmed its release date for PC, Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5. On May 7 we will be able to delve into the new video game in the saga created by Capcom.

Not only that, but survival horror will also bet on the last generation, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. In addition, and if that were not enough, PlayStation 5 users can download the demo from today!

As the Japanese studio announced, the corresponding gameplay of the moment has not been missing. We will play Ethan Winters, protagonist of Resident Evil 7 and who this time embarks on an adventure even more epic than the previous one that will take him through a spooky mansion, through terrifying catacombs and face a variety of supernatural beings.

Capcom has returned to bet on the first-person perspective and of course the horror and survival horror dyes. In this last genre, the Japanese studio offers players the possibility of crafting weapons and managing the inventory, watchword of the brand.

They have not been the only news. As several insiders announced a few days ago, Resident Evil 8 will also have multiplayer mode. A variant available for up to six players called RE: Verse in which the most iconic characters of the saga will face off on various maps.

We already have a date for the first gameplay of the game

After a first trailer and some other isolated detail, Capcom has set a date to the first official gameplay of Resident Evil 8. On January 21 at 11:00 p.m. (UK time) we will be able to know how the new horror adventure looks playable of the more than recognized saga of the Japanese study.

The official Resident Evil Twitter account has been in charge of announcing the news, although yes, without giving much information about what type of gameplay we will see in the presentation.

Another fact to consider is that in the message on social networks, the account ensures that we will have more news from Resident Evil , leaving the door open to finally know the launch date of the video game on consoles and PC.

Its creators talk about the most exciting game in the series

The Resident Evil saga has undergone all kinds of changes throughout its history. With the release of Resident Evil 8 on the horizon , Capcom wants to collect the best of each of the deliveries and whose origin in the industry goes back 25 years.

The video game product has not delved into details about the new chapter of the brand, but it has revealed information for its most staunch fans.

“We believe that it is an accumulation of the best elements of the Resident Evil games of the last 25 years ,” said Peter Fabiano in an interview with IGN. The producer points out that there will be survival horror elements, of course, but also room for action or puzzles.

On the other hand, Fabiano stressed that the use of new technologies has allowed the studio to achieve what they consider “the most exciting Resident Evil to date.”

Resident Evil 8 Village: Beware of spoilers! Narrative and endgame leaks

Resident Evil 8 Village has been the victim of a colossal leak whose origin is still not too clear. However, all kinds of details have been revealed that show the story from beginning to end, a large number of scenes and even the final boss of the game. 

And since the spoilers seem to be pretty accurate, you’ll have to avoid anything related to the saga for a while, being even more careful as the title’s release nears. This, to be more specific, means stepping away from forums like Reddit, ResetEra, or other portals with social channels related to Resident Evil 8.

Resident Evil 8 Village shows the first images of its gameplay

Although it cannot be understood as a classic gameplay in which we know some of the playable characteristics of the title, Capcom and Sony have shown several brushstrokes of Resident Evil 8 in motion. It has been in a promotional video for PlayStation 5 and in which tennis player Naomi Osaka has participated , as well as actor Michael B. Jordan .

In addition to Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Capcom’s long-awaited horror title is also the protagonist of the hands-on from minute 1:45 . It is about several seconds in which we can appreciate the exploration of a snowy town , and in which a priori the action will take place. The demonstration of these small clips suggests that Capcom could give more information about the game very soon. For now, Resident Evil 8 has its release date set for 2021 .

How will Resident Evil 8 work on PS5? Capcom confirms its performance

Thanks to a recent update on the official PlayStation page, we have been able to learn many more details about how the next game in the Resident Evil horror saga will look.

We already knew that Resident Evil Village will be released throughout 2021 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X platforms, as well as for PC, however there was no talk about how this game will work with the new generation of consoles.

On the PlayStation page some of the main features of Resident Evil Village are mentioned, in the same way that they talk about how its resolution will be on the new Sony console.

In relation to this, it is mentioned that the game will have 4K graphics with ray tracing, in addition to other features such as haptic feedback and 3D Tempest audio technology.

It also highlights that players will also be able to quickly access their game thanks to the ultra – fast SSD of PlayStation 5 and the experience in Resident Evil Village will be much better thanks to the adaptive triggers of the DualSense controller.

Resident Evil 8 Village: Capcom adds the function of creating objects to defeat enemies

If a few days ago we could see much more about the new game Resident Evil 8 Village thanks to its first gameplay published at Tokyo Game Show 2020, we could not see everything that awaits us in this title. An example of this is the new feature to create objects recently commented by Eiko Kano, one of the few who has already been able to test the game.

As confirmed by this Japanese comedian, as you fight enemies they throw different materials with which to make different tools and objects . Once we have the necessary materials to make them, we can use them to kill other enemies and thus get rid of them faster.

On how this new feature works in Resident Evil 8 Village, Eiko Kano has not commented on it. We can think that it will be something similar to what this franchise already had when it comes to preparing cures, however it may be something more complex when dealing with weapons against enemies.

Resident Evil 8 Village could come to PS4 and Xbox One, according to Capcom

Although a few days ago we heard the rumor that Resident Evil 8 could reach PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the confirmation of the company’s plans has not been long in coming to light.

It was during their live show at TGS 2020 where the company mentioned that they are currently studying the possibility that finally their work, first of all proposed for the next generation of consoles, is intergenerational.

Of course, this is not a confirmation in itself, although it is an indication that players may bear in mind that, perhaps, the terror of Resident Evil Village is also being seen on current-generation consoles.

Of course, they have indicated that there are certain complications that they must evaluate, so we will have to wait to see if, finally, it makes its arrival.

Recall that, to date, mentioned that the title will be released on PC, PlayStation and Xbox Series 5 X / S . In addition, it is expected that in the next few days we can see the arrival of its first gameplay, although to date the company has not mentioned this possibility.

Resident Evil 8’s first gameplay could take place at TGS 2020

If a few days ago Capcom revealed the first trailer for Resident Evil 8: Village at the PlayStation 5 event, this Japanese company may surprise us again with content related to the game.

Lovers of the horror genre could soon learn more about what awaits them in this new game in the popular Resident Evil saga, as it is expected to have its first gameplay at the next Tokyo Game Show 2020.

Although a Resident Evil 8 gameplay is not confirmed, Capcom has already stated that it will be present at this Japanese event that will begin on September 23.

It has also been confirmed that there will be a presentation of the game in which recent information will be given and untold stories of the same will be shown . This presentation will last about 30 minutes, during which time a gameplay of the game would take place.

After the presentation section, Capcom will have a 30-minute section to talk and discuss the game. Resident Evil 8 will not be released until 2021 so you can talk about some important details and bugs that still exist in it. The debate and the presentation of the game will take place on the 27th at TGS 2020 , so there is very little left to find out.

Resident Evil 8 Village reveals new images during PS5 presentation

The recent PlayStation 5 event has brought with it many surprises, including new images from the game Resident Evil 8 Village.

We already knew that this new game of the popular Resident Evil saga will arrive in early 2021 for both PS5 and PC, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, however in this second trailer of the game we were able to learn more about everything that we will find at.

In the new Resident Evil 8 trailer we can discover that the game has a most chilling and gloomy tone with which lovers of this genre can have a better experience. According to the images shown, it can be intuited that its main plot will be very different from what we could see in its predecessor title Resident Evil 7.

Resident Evil 8 Village: A Rumor Reveals Information About Enemies And Much More

A new leak by Biohazard Cast about new sections of the video game has given us a multitude of new data about the new installment of the famous saga.

According to this leak, they have played a trial version that was available prior to the release of this year’s Resident Evil 3 remake. In it, the person alleges that he played a section through a cave with a female character who had no offensive weapons and was tasked with escaping, finding himself in some kind of panic.

In addition, they were attacked by enemies, as well as another very prominent character similar to a “witch” who could be one of those who appeared in the presentation trailer.

In the article they comment: “In this segment, the woman did not carry weapons of any kind and the objective was to escape from the caves. Our source also indicated that they had the impression that she was very distressed and was looking for something.

They also strongly reiterated the fact that the caves were dark and mentioned that they had to have a representative help them adjust the brightness multiple times.

These new enemies carried swords and also had the ability to grab and bite the player. Our source compared the appearance of these enemies to that of Krampus, the evil creature who punishes children at Christmas.

While hiding in the caves, our source says that they came across a file calling these new creatures “Strigoi”, which curiously has a basis in Romanian folklore, which fits in with the aesthetic we’ve seen so far with Resident Evil Village.

Apparently, there was another one of the “witches” in the caves that seemed to be able to control the Strigoi and that was called “Scarlett”.

Finally, note that the alleged player said that the game was running on a PS4 Pro and it seems that it worked very well on this system.

This information is very interesting because the first rumors suggested that the game would be crossgen, but since then it had been announced that it would arrive on PS5, Xbox Series X and PC without mentioning the current systems so far.

In spite of everything, this information is not confirmed , so we must be careful for the moment and not take it as something completely real, at least until it is officially Capcom who denies or confirms the validity of these rumors.

Resident Evil 8 Village: The Next Official Trailer Coming In August

Although we already know several details of what will be the next game in the Resident Evil saga, in the month of August we will be able to enjoy a new trailer that shows us something more than what awaits players with Resident Evil 8 Village.

This will be one of the most anticipated games for Sony’s new console, PlayStation 5, and will continue the popular horror game saga that hit the world more than 20 years ago.

The information that in August we will be able to enjoy a new trailer for Resident Evil 8 Village, comes from the hand of Dusk Golem, a user who had previously leaked different aspects of the game . He mentions it by replying to a Twitter user, also confirming that over the next month we will learn about other things related to the game.

Although this is not an official announcement, this news gains strength when entering the official game page, since we can see that the next update will arrive in August of this year. We must wait until next year to be able to know the game completely, however this news helps us to know what will await us in this new installment.

Capcom hints at Resident Evil 8 demo release

Faced with a new game, companies are very given to surveying their fans. With them they can collect feedback and some ideas for the development of the title in question. This has been the case of Capcom with Resident Evil 8. In a recent survey, the Japanese company has asked its followers several questions related to the new game in the series.

Among the questions is one that has strongly attracted the attention of users. ‘Would you like to see a demo of Resident Evil 8?‘. A question that, without a doubt, has been well received by the franchise’s fan community.

Years ago and up to the present, each and every one of the brand’s titles has had a brief playable preview, such was the case, for example, of Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil VII or the recently released Resident Evil 3 Nemesis. 

Given that Resident Evil 8 will land on consoles and PC in early 2021, it would not be surprising that several weeks or months before the demo of the video game did the same. For now Capcom is silent on that possibility, but they are expected to offer more details in the coming months, as we learn more about the game.

Capcom’s game name details revealed

When this game was announced, many players, and also many media, have not hesitated to call it Resident Evil 8: Village, since the logo shows an VIII in orange superimposed on the word Village, in the same way that VII was superimposed on Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.

However, the official title is Resident Evil Village , without any numeral, which has already led to many doubts that the game’s producers, Tsuyoshi Kanda and Peter Fabiano , have clarified in an interview with Famitsu.

When asked why the title is not Resident Evil 8, the producers stated that they consider the villa as one more character, and by putting it in the name, they believed that they would make the players understand it.

Also, when asked if the abbreviation is RE8 or Village, they indicate that there is no official abbreviation, but they would like people to remember Village, which increases curiosity about what role the village will have in history.

A rumor hints that the game will be compatible with virtual reality

Virtual reality is an increasingly present feature in video games and in the world of electronic entertainment. This revolutionary technology allows endless possibilities to make the gameplay of some titles even more immersive and, in some cases, even more terrifying.

In this case, a new rumor hints that Resident Evil 8 Village would be compatible with virtual reality devices. However, this great exclusive feature for PlayStation 5 has not been officially confirmed by Capcom, at least for now.

According to this rumor, during the PlayStation 5 conference and presentation, Resident Evil 8 Village showed a somewhat uneven progress in terms of frame rates. However, this leak ensures that it is not something we should worry about.

Apparently, Capcom’s title will not only move at 30 fps, but at a stable 60 fps, and the reason for this would be because the game is compatible with PlayStation VR. 

It is well known that games that support virtual reality require an even higher frame rate than the original in order to be played effectively. But even though this source has proven to be quite accurate in the past, Capcom has not confirmed that Resident Evil 8 will be compatible with this technology.

The spectacular cinematic trailer of Resident Evil Village

During the Sony event some of the most anticipated great arrivals for the next generation were confirmed to us. We could not only see the great return with the sequel to Horizon , but confirm the return of Capcom’s horror saga with Resident Evil Village.

One of the titles that has had the most leaks in recent months and which, after a long wait, we have seen its terrifying appearance.

Thanks to the trailer, the presence of a large mansion, the arrival of dangerous creatures such as werewolves and, of course, the return of a character much loved by fans was confirmed.

Chris Redfield returns with his darkest role and of which, at the moment, we do not know great details, although it has been mentioned that it will be one of the most important games in the game.

At the moment, the great news about this exclusive title for the next generation of consoles are few. Although a quick look at the Capcom website mentions that new data will be revealed throughout August , so there is no doubt a blanket request for players to be patient.

Launch date and confirmed platforms

Although there are still many elements that we do not know about the premiere of Resident Evil Village, the Japanese company has already guaranteed some of the points that we must take into account for this great premiere.

For example, although some fans expected that this launch would also occur on current consoles, the developer herself indicated that it will not be the case, but that it will be exclusive to PC, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 .

Unfortunately, the current generation of consoles will be left out of this great proposal. The reason? As the company has pointed out, this is related to the characteristics of the current generation, which would prevent many of the new proposals that will be included in the title from being carried out.

Among them, for example, the wide extension of the map with its open locations that will not limit the player to having to focus exclusively on the action inside the mansion.

Regarding its launch, although there is still a long way to go, the company has already confirmed an approximate launch window, a figure that specifies that it is something provisional, subject to possible changes.

But it seems that 2021 will be the year chosen for players to enjoy this terrifying adventure where, as confirmed, we will have more than one playable character and a new mystery to solve.

Resident Evil Village: The Darkest Story in the Saga

Although at the moment we are waiting for new official confirmations from the company, both its trailer and the official website of the game have allowed us to know some of the details that we will have well reflected in the game.

Among them, how the story of Resident Evil Village will not only focus on closed places , but will also give spectacular experiences in open environments, thus taking advantage of the characteristics of the new generation of consoles.

This eighth installment of the horror saga has proven to fulfill all the rumors that have been shared to date. It takes us to a cold and dark setting where snow will play a great role in the exterior locations of the mansion.

And where, of course, the dangerous werewolves will be present, even though at the moment we do not know the mystery that surrounds them.

The characters who have confirmed their return so far

The video game, as confirmed in the cinematic trailer, will bring back Ethan Winters, being the main protagonist of this great adventure.

In this installment, he has managed to achieve a certain stability and a normal life with his family or, at least, it is until Chris Redfield, a hero of yesteryear, turns this around destroying all the peace that he had known until now .

Winters, leaving behind all the terror experienced in the seventh installment of the saga, will share his life with Mia, even though at the moment we do not know the great role of this character.

But, if the rumors shared to date are fulfilled, this will have its gameplay scenes, with unique abilities and a playable style a little different from that presented by Winters and Redfield.
