While this time around the series is trading its signature zombies for werewolves and vampires,Resident Evil: Villagelooks no less atmospheric and creepy than its predecessors. With the upcoming title set to release later this year, Capcom has given a closer look at what to expect from the series' eighth installment and an official release date, which won’t be too far from now.
During theResident EvilShowcase, Capcom officially announced thatResident Evil: Villagewill release on July 05, 2025, putting the title in the thick of the spring release calendar. It was also confirmed during the Showcase that alongside the title’s release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC,Villagewill also be releasing for PS4 and Xbox One and offer free upgrades to the corresponding next-gen platforms.
Alongside the release date, the Showcase also gave us our first look atResident Evil: Villagein motion with new gameplay footage, which takes place directly after the events ofResident Evil VII: Biohazard. This time around players seem to be exploring a desolate mansion in the mountains, with Ethan Winters being pursued by a relentless group of vampires, includingthe very tall, attractive vampire lady that has caught the internet’s attention in the past week.
The gameplay footage also showed some of the new features coming toVillage, including an inventory system reminiscent ofResident Evil 4and item crafting.Villagewill also have its own merchant that players will encounter named The Duke, but it seems a bit dubious whether or not he’s actually on Ethan’s side. There’s likely a lot that fans will be able to unpack from the gameplay footage, so you’re able to check out the entire Showcase livestream above to see it all for yourself.
Resident Evil: Villagewill release for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC on Jun 20, 2025.
