With theResident Evil 3remake set to launch in April, it’s not surprising that Capcom has yet to reveal anything about the rumoredResident Evil 8. However, that hasn’t stopped reputable leakers from revealing little bits of information aboutResident Evil 8, with one new detail confirmed just recently.
AestheticGamer, a Twitter user known for their accurateResident Evilleaks, has revealed a new detail aboutResident Evil 8. They were asked ifResident Evil 8will be a VR exclusive, and they confirmed that no,RE8will not be VR exclusive. This was likely assumed by the vast majority ofResident Evilfans to begin with, but as virtual reality technology continues to grow in popularity, it’s certainly possible that there will be a VR-exclusiveResident Evilgame at some point down the road.

Even thoughResident Evil 8won’t be VR exclusive, that doesn’t mean that the game won’t use VR technology in some capacity. Previous rumors have suggested that, much likeResident Evil 7,Resident Evil 8will have an optional VR mode for those interested.
Other rumors and supposed “leaks” have claimed to reveal even Evil 8. If the rumors are to be believed,Resident Evil 8will be first-person, also not unlikeResident Evil 7, with wolf-like enemies, and the return of characters Chris Redfield and Ethan Winters. The game will supposedly have a medieval setting, including a castle, and will have a bigger focus on action thanRE7.
Speaking of therumoredResident Evil 8medieval setting, apparently that will inspire some of the enemy designs. An example given in a previous “leak” says that there will be armored zombies inResident Evil 8, and some of them will even be armed with swords. This may seem a bit outlandish to some fans, but theResident Evilseries has explored medieval settings before, so it’s not totally out of the realm of possibility.
There’s also a rumor thatResident Evil 8will have a twist aboutChris Redfield’s new appearance. But like all the otherResident Evil 8rumors, that remains to be seen.Resident Evilfans should take any information about the game with a grain of salt until an official announcement comes from Capcom.
Resident Evil 8is rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
