Update: Capcom has now officially revealed its Tokyo Games Show plans, and it looks like what was originally reported by other sites isn't bang on the money. The Japanese publisher will indeed have a two-hour slot, but alongside Resident Evil Village will also be a slot for Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition.
The official site reads: "In the first segment, we will welcome the development team and bring you the untold stories behind the development of "RESIDENT EVIL VILLAGE" and the latest info on the Resident Evil series! In the second segment, we will welcome special guest Eiko Kano for a guest talk segment!" Meanwhile, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition will debut gameplay.
Original story: It looks like we're going from zero to 100 with Resident Evil Village as Capcom has just announced that it will host a digital showcase focused on the upcoming PlayStation 5 game during Tokyo Games Show. We already knew that the latest entry in the horror franchise would be putting in an appearance there, but it looks like we'll be getting much more than just another trailer or a glimpse of next-gen gameplay.
The presentation will reportedly take place on Sunday 27th September 2020 at 1pm BST / 5am PST, with the first hour dedicated to providing a proper Resident Evil Village introduction. Producers Peter Fabiano and Tsuyoshi Kanda are expected to give an overview of the newest game as well as talk about the Resident Evil series in general. In the second, we'll be treated to a sort of Q&A. Let's hope this is more than just a lot of talking then as Resident Evil Village takes centre stage with a deeper inside look at what makes this instalment tick. It's about time too because the game is supposed to be out on PS5 next year.
Will you be tuning in? Let us know what you hope to see in the comments below.

Wonder if it'll be running on PS5 considering what's been said on social media...
Release date please Capcom
@get2sammyb It'll be on PS5 I'm almost certain of it. I also do not believe any of the rumours around this game from social media at all. The RE engine isn't exactly taxing, and unless they are implementing an exceedingly greedy form of ray tracing I can't see it really pushing the hardware. For reference DMC5 Special Edition is using the exact same engine, and has really overdone the RT and that seems to be running fine. I can imagine them having a frame pacing issue, but that's their software, rather than hardware it's running on. RE7 had frame pacing issues as well.
2hrs... that's their whole TGS presentation. As excited as I am to learn more about RE8, I'm a bit disappointed they won't be covering other stuff.
Saying that, I'm more looking forward to Cygames' presentation which will hopefully be about Project Awakening or the Granblue console RPG.
@get2sammyb What's been said? Are you referring to the Dark Golem stuff?
The launch of these systems is mad. In your experience are you finding that Sony/PS5 seems to be coming in for way more critical coverage than previous generations? (Not including Push Square here). I mean more like the twitterati etc.
Its the first time i've decided to jump in at launch on a console, and i've been playing since the mega drive.
Sony have earnt that trust after a wonderful PS4 generation. But the commentary alongside this launch is certainly making me a little nervous!
Part of me wants to watch all of this as I absolutely love the Resident Evil franchise. Then the other part wants me to go dark on the game until it releases. I did that with RE7 and when I played it I was just stunned by how good it was.
Is this one playable in VR as well?
Didnt they correct this and said the whole presentation will be 2 hours and will include Resi 8 as part of it (~30 minutes or so)? I remember I read that somewhere.
Can't they confirm they are either Canning it or removing the Resident Evil name from it. Because that crap is in no way Resident Evil.
@KathyQ Resident Evil was the reason I got ps1. Traded in sega and all the games to pay for it.
@KathyQ Yeah, an unforgettable moment. I love how in the Gamecube remake, when you go down that corridor, you're bracing for the dogs to smash through the window, then you hear the sound of glass cracking slightly but not smashing... Then they don't smash through. Then maybe you forget about it, progress through the game, then go back down their again later - and then they smash through and attack you.
A clever way of subverting that part - they knew we were all expecting it so it wouldn't shock us anymore so they decided to mess with us instead. 😄
@KathyQ I don't know, the price of games next-gen has taken over as biggest jump scare for me.
Hopefully we’ll learn whether PSVR is compatible! Fingers crossed.
I want to see it but I don't want to be spoiled of the game, maybe I'll watch it if it's just some trailer or tech talk about the game.
@SirAngry Yeah, $70 for sony first party games kind of surprised me.
@SirAngry Came here to say the same. Together with RE7 port it's 2 games with the RE Engine you have in the PS5, one of them working with RTX. They could be hitting a snaggle on other parts, maybe implementing some features with the dual sense, but I doubt the engine is giving them problems.
Considering this is my most anticipated game of 2021 so far, a two-hour presentation is music to my ears.
Never been a big fan of horror, but I've always loved Resident Evil. This one looks great from what they've show so far.
I'll be tuning in, I'm really looking forward to this one
I wonder if any new game is gonna be announced. I hope so! Fighting game division maybe?
@KathyQ I played Resi 1 for the first time a couple of years ago and Dog Window made me jump out of my skin and turn off the game for that night 😂
@resigamer28 Someone's butthurt...
Ace Attorney fans in shambles rn
the untold stories behind the development of "RESIDENT EVIL VILLAGE"
Dusk Golem coming on stage confirmed!
Aside from Demons Souls this is the most exciting game on the horizon for me. Capcom nail it almost every time with RE and it’s looks like a good shake up too with witches, werewolves and pagan motifs.
RE games are always day one purchase for me.
@Rob_230 I’ve also been playing since the 8bit/16bit era and like you, I will be buying PS5 at launch. Never bought a console at launch before because the launch titles didn’t move me like this time. This is an extremely good launch lineup.
The only issues for me are the lack of info on external drives and the games which are launching on both consoles. They can’t possibly be ‘built from the ground up for PS5’ - this makes no sense.
The messaging from Sony has been pretty confusing and inadequate.
@Wavey84 the jump graphically between PS4 gen and next gen isn’t the most mind blowing. It’s not like PS2 -> PS3 with that wow factor.
However I think RE8 looks next gen for sure. The RE Engine seems capable of some almost photo realistic graphics. It’s things like the lighting which often make games look amazing. Take the lighting out of a game like Rise of Tomb Raider and it would look garbage. So yeah, more subtle stuff like ray tracing. Load times will be a big winner too.
I have been on the fence with this Resident Evil game and a re-release of DMC 5 is not something I am completely interested in.
I am sucker for game presentation so I will watch it.
This won't be my first two hours of watching some village people.
...all people want to see are the four little letters... p... s.... v.... r....
...announce this and the pandemic won't be the only reason for the toilet roll shortage...
Am I still the only person waiting/hoping Capcom will release Deep Down?!
@resigamer28 is this clown serious?
@Taylorzombie as a long term resident Evil fan, yes. This crap is as far from Resi as you can throw it. Call it Witchcraft : The Village.
It is NOT resident evil.
@Nepp67 Nope I'm a long time fan, and this crap is not the resi I grew up with and loved. Nothing about Witchcraft is remotely Resi.
@Taylorzombie @resigamer28 Big spiders, a man that turns into a big eyed dinosaur, a regenerator, Albert Wesker that has super speed and also turns into a tentacle monster with blades. Nah lets just ignore that cause witchcraft is definitely not a possibility for the Umbrella corporation to make. Lol.
@resigamer28 just stick with the original ones since you want the samething over and over again this isn't call of duty every year
@Nepp67 what?
