If you've been looking forward to Resident Evil Village, then you'll definitely want to mark your calendars for next week. Capcom has revealed that it will be hosting a Resident Evil showcase next week which will offer a "guided tour" of the game. Among other things, this guided tour will feature our first glimpse at Resident Evil Village gameplay.
Following multiple rumors and leaks, one which appeared on the company's own website, Netflix has confirmed its plans to release an original Resident Evil series based on the popular video game franchise from Capcom.

Yesterday, Sony gave the fans what they wanted and revealed some of the games that are currently in development for the PlayStation 5. It was a big event that stretched on for more than an hour, and much of that time was taken up by trailers for upcoming games. There were a lot of reveals both big and (relatively) small, so if you missed the show yesterday, he's a recap of all the major announcements.
Sony's PlayStation 5 unveiling event today included the trailers for a number of games, one of which is the anticipated eighth Resident Evil installment, one called Resident Evil Village. The "village" in the title is meant to symbolize the game's rank in the series by subtly using Roman numerals (VIllage). Along with a relatively long look at the game, we also know when the title will drop.
Today we're taking a peek at the Steam Top Release list for April 2020, released here on the 22nd of May, 2020. This list includes a very strange assortment of games, some for kids, some for adults... and there's a golf game too. As it was with all previous releases, the Top Steam Releases list for April 2020 was compiled by measured revenue generated during the first two weeks after launch.
Remakes, it seems, are big business at the moment. Not only are a lot of people currently playing through Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Remake, but just a couple of weeks ago, Capcom also released a remake of Resident Evil 3. Resident Evil 3 followed a very successful and very warmly-received remake of Resident Evil 2, so it should come as little surprise to hear that Capcom has now greenlit a Resident Evil 4 remake.
It's been a good few years for the Resident Evil series. After Resident Evil 6 represented something of a stumble for the mainline franchise, Resident Evil 7 launched to very warm reception. That was followed by the acclaimed remake of Resident Evil 2, and just last week, Capcom kept the remake train rolling by launching Resident Evil 3. What's next for the storied franchise? According to a new rumor, it's Resident Evil 8.
Last year's Resident Evil 2 remake was a very pleasant surprise for fans of the series, so it's little wonder that Capcom is following up this year with a remake of Resident Evil 3. The remake was announced in December, and with the game launching in April, we don't have much longer to wait before it's here. Capcom has announced that prospective buyers won't even need to wait until April to check out the game, as the company is launching a demo for the remake later this week.
Last month, Sony announced that Resident Evil 3 would be remade for the PlayStation 4, though Capcom confirmed that the updated version will also be released for the Xbox One and PC. Ahead of the remake's expected April 2020 release date, Sony has revealed more details about the updated version of the game, including which original elements will be removed.
Earlier today, Sony held the final PlayStation State of Play for 2019. Headlining that show was a pretty big announcement, as Capcom officially confirmed that it's remaking Resident Evil 3. Of course, a lot of us expected this announcement given the success of Resident Evil 2's remake earlier this year.
It seems the success of Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake has prompted the company to begin working on a remake of Resident Evil 3. New reports claim that such a remake is currently in development over at Capcom, with the company planning to release it at some point next year.
Monster Hunter World has already had a number of crossover events, but soon we'll be seeing what is unquestionably the most zany one yet. Capcom revealed today that Leon and Claire from the Resident Evil franchise are coming to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, and while that's strange enough on its own, their appearance doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how just how crazy this crossover is.
