All new information on Resident Evil 8: Village revealed during the Tokyo Game Show
According to the developers, Resident Evil 8: Village will offer players more freedom than Resident Evil 7. We already knew that this time, too, we would be playing as Ethan. However, the upcoming title will delve deeper into his life and what happened to him after the events of RE 7.
The Story of Resident Evil 8: Village takes place years after the events of RE 7. Ethan was living a peaceful life until it was shattered by Chris Redfield. Furthermore, as the game's name suggests, Village plays a vital role in Resident Evil 8.
The developers' event also revealed that "The Village" can be considered another protagonist of this game.
During the event, the devs also talked about a potential current-generation version of Resident Evil 8. They are looking to release RE 8 on the PS4 and Xbox One, but it has not been confirmed so far. They clarified that a current-gen version of RE 8 could come to current-gen platforms if not held back by technical limitations.
Another big piece of news that we got during Capcom's special show was about the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil Series, starting from 22nd March 2021. For now, that is all we have on how Capcom is going to celebrate the silver jubilee moment. We will keep you updated on the matter.
