The presentation will offer up new details – and hopefully new footage – pertaining to the eighth mainline entry in the survival horror franchise.
The subject of speculation for many months,Resident Evil Villagewas officially revealed duringPlayStation’s Future of Gaming presentationback in June, with a trailer that confirmed the return ofResident Evil VIIprotagonist Ethan Winters, as well as a troubled and dour iteration of seemingly fallen S.T.A.R.S. hero Chris Redfield.
The cinematic preview also gave fans a first look at the titular “village,” a quaint and unearthly locale populated by strange and sinister townsfolk, warped society hostesses, and a frightening wolf-man. Capcom rumor-merchant DuskGolemhad previously referencedResident Evil Village‘s “dark and gruesome” tone, stating that the sequel’s story beats are “divisive” and “fucked up.”
Resident Evil Villageis currently in development for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Tokyo Games Show 2020 will take place between September 23-27.
