Today during Capcom’s Resident Evil Showcase, the publisher announced Resident Evil Village is coming out for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and S on May 7 2021.
Like Resident Evil 7, Village is played from a first-person perspective. Capcom also showed off new gameplay, including our first look at the game’s merchant, a man named The Duke. The game also uses an inventory system similar to Resident Evil’s 4, letting players move around differently sized objects on a grid.
Did somebody say demo? (We did. We said demo.) Revealed during #REShowcase, a PlayStation 5 exclusive visual demo, Maiden, will be available for download starting later today!

Also announced during the showcase was the news of a new demo that will be exclusive to the PS5, for now. The demo stars a character known as The Maiden and will focus on puzzles. It’s out today.
A timely reminder that I should play RE7. I was kind of waiting to play it on VR, but I think that ship has sailed and I don’t see VR in my future. Best just to enjoy it now!
It’s literally the only reason I would have invested in VR so I can’t justify it.
All the recent RE:Engine based games are spectacular. Cannot wait for RE8.
Played the demo this morning and thought it was pretty dull. Glad I didn’t bother with 7.
