Resident Evil 8 rumours suggest cross-gen and a 2021 release date

João Silva April 1, 2020 Featured Tech News, Software & Gaming

Resident Evil 3: Remake is coming out this Friday, with reviews starting to come in, but there are already rumours about the eighth entry of the franchise set for release in 2021. According to these rumours, Resident Evil 8 will revolutionise the series, similar to what Resident Evil 7 did back in 2017.

As reported by AestheticGamer (via IGN), Resident Evil 8 will be a cross-gen title, scheduled for release in 2021, as other previous rumours have already reported. This insider also shared that the upcoming title started development back in late 2016, meaning that if the game releases at its scheduled date, it will have a 4-5 year development period.

Regarding Resident Evil 8's development, AestheticGamer stated that it's “very similar to the original Resident Evil 3, not the remake”. Additionally, the announcement of the game should be “really soon” and it will be the most unusual Resident Evil game ever released.

According to the insider, the game will be so different from previous releases that it will probably annoy fans once it gets revealed. From the game's internal testing at the studio, AestheticGamer concluded that it's a “high quality game”.

It seems that we still have some time to enjoy the latest release of Resident Evil series until these Resident Evil 8 rumours can be confirmed. Let's wait and see what the upcoming Resident Evil game is holding for us.

KitGuru Games: The Genius Casting of Kaitlyn Dever in HBO’s The Last of Us

Following an explosive and highly popular first series, HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 is almost upon us. Set to premiere on the 13th of April, the sequel season based on Naughty Dog’s controversial Part II is likely to spark up even more discourse than the first. Unlike 2020’s masterpiece however, HBO’s adaptation has made one key decision which – if handled well – could not only serve to build upon the theming of the game itself, but also function as a different way to tell the same message. That being the casting of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby.
