Apparently, Capcom is already developing Resident Evil 8, and the game is rumored to be releasing next year in 2021. According to a prominent leaker, Dusk Golem, the development of the game started in 2016 and that it will be a big departure in the series history.
Since the game has been in development for over three years, it might be a strong indication that Capcom might be close to announcing the game in the coming months. Dusk Golem, who is also known as AestheticGamer on Twitter, is a prominent leaker who revealed the information regarding the game’s development.
Ah what the Hell, I’ll tease a bit more about this 2021 RE game & then not talk deeper about it until a bit after RE3 is out. The 2021 RE game started development in late 2016, by the time it releases it’ll have been in development for 4-4.5 years (been in dev at the moment [for about] 3-3.5 years).
What is even more interesting is the fact that the leaker has mentioned that the game would be similar to the original Resident Evil 3, and not the remake version which is releasing in a few days.
It’s development is very similar to the original Resident Evil 3, not the remake, but I won’t expand on what I mean by that until later. The announcement for it will be really soon, and it’s by far the biggest departure the series has ever taken, to the point I expect a lot of people will be pissed off about it when it gets revealed, but they should be open minded. Internal testing and the like show it’s high quality game, and I’m quite excited for it.
There weren’t any more details, quite possibly because the leaker might not have any additional information about the game, other than the development and the release window details. Having said that, the information might not be accurate so you should take it with a grain of salt. In the meantime, Resident Evil 3 Remake is just a few days ahead and is set up for an exciting launch worldwide.
