We're just hours away from Capcom's Resident Evil Showcase, but this being the internet, something was bound to leak sooner or later. The developer has been taking applications for a closed beta in the lead up to the event, and it looks like those will be for Resident Evil Re:Verse. Yes, that is its name — we're not kidding. A description of Resident Evil Village has leaked its existence over on the Humble store, and it looks like it'll be some sort of multiplayer mode.
If you think of what Resident Evil Resistance was for Resident Evil 3, you're along the right lines in terms of how the two experiences will be bundled. Re:Verse looks set to be a separate executable on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, but the two titles are inherently tied as you'll purchase them together. Re:Verse's official website currently displays a 404 error, although that will surely change following tonight's Resident Evil Showcase. The full description can be viewed below, which also details pre-order bonuses.

Well, guess I won't have to attend the announcement.
Interesting how it says the game might not be available depending on when you purchase RE Village. So is this MP mode a temporary thing or they are just saying like if you buy it years from now the ReVerse servers may not be online anymore?
@jmac1686 I would assume it's the latter.
Some people just have to spoil things.
Ah well. I'll turn off the reminder on Youtube lol
I got an invite to some beta via the ambassador program, however I cannot work out how the heck I'm supposed to log in.
Re:mind me to act suprised
So this is what the surprise was going to be?
@AndyKazama
I'm a member too but can't log back in. It takes me to a Japanese only page.
Wow, it's been at least 12 seconds since the last leak. I wonder how many games were revealed without any leak these past few years.
yawn R.I.P resident evil another series ruined by multiplayer
@kyleforrester87 Yeah, fast and loose with the colons aren’t they? Some companies have no respect for punctuation.
Re: Verse; sounds like some versus type multiplayer mode.
Not what I would have hoped, I'd rather have a co-op multiplayer that can be played solo as well.
But we'll have to wait 6 more hours or so to see what it really is.
Not another tacked on multiplayer thats going to be half assed trash. Didn't they learn from the last one.
@Snake_V5 Suprise mechanics.
the didn't support resistance and want to do this?
capcom. you don't know how to make multiplayer games. deal with it. Go back to co-op if anything.
Wasn't the multiplayer in Resi 3 remake awful and full of loot box monetisation? Oh dear, that's a shame.
There goes my Code Veronica remake dream
@GoodGame that I'm getting. I give up. 😅
It's weird that Capcom is trying to push a multiplayer experience after Resistance didn't exactly last very long.
I am a tad concerned. Resident evil 3 suffered because of resistance and I feel that RE8 may aswel. Judging by the name I thought it would be some sort of inverted mode but sounds like it's short for Universe. I just don't see how the single player controls will make for a good multiplayer at all
@Deadlyblack - "Have I ever told you the definition of insanity? It's doing the exact same thing over-and-over again, and expecting sh@t to change"
Ughh, disappointing news; Resistance was woeful and deservedly died a swift death. Hopefully it's a separate team working on this; I want maximum concentration on Village from the core devs!
@Max2574 - My thoughts exactly, I hate it when Developers feel the need to add Multiplayer to a game, especially a game like Resident Evil which doesn't need it.
@Gaming365247. Yawn😴 you dont know what are you talking about.thats the multiplayer.not part of the single player🤔.word up son
This is like their 3rd or 4th attempt to make a Resident Evil Multiplayer mode/game, when will Capcom realize that they can't make it work and focus solely on the Single-Player? A Co-Op mode would be fine though I guess.
Not even Capcom plays Resistance anymore.
Damn, that picture looks like it's ripped out of Bloodborne... Makes one wonder how Bloodborne 2 will look like, made for the new gen...
Absolutely no interest in multiplayer especially in Resident Evil games.Not surprised but very dissapointed.
They RE:ally need to stop RE:gurgitating the same old titling format.
@Daleaf You absolute legend. Seems I was in the right place right time for once in my life. What a lovely act of generosity. I’ll be passing it on by using it to gift a game to my nephew. Thanks so much and congrats on your win 😃
@HUMPERDOO haha, great thanks hope your nephew enjoys whatever game you buy him. I have had a good run since before Xmas, and this one this week was a nice one 😀 and thought I would do something nice for a random stranger pass on the happiness, and since this site has a generally good community thought why not spread the love. I just came back now as I hadn't received any notification so wasn't sure if anyone had taken it was going to post it on another article.
@Gaming365247 Is it not massively ironic to talk about Resident Evil being ruined by multiplayer when it was the single player 5 and 6 which drove it into obscurity the first time?
Just stop with this, no one wants RE multiplayer, it dies so fast, tried Resistance and the biggest problem with that is I have no chance of doing well against all the veterans, and long que times. Just not worth it
have Capcom not learned that Resident Evil fans despise multiplayer Resident Evil games(except Raid Mode).
@GoodGame i mean the title says re:village leaked info , if you didn't want to be spoiled don't click on it?
@LiterallyDoNotCare How did they not figure out that they should release breakout with optional online and coöp... ☹️
@nessisonett Resident Evil 6 thanks i just blocked it out. 🤪
@LiterallyDoNotCare Monster Hunter World
@kill_Nil I meant for resident evil.
@kill_Nil mhw is awesome. Better than red dead 2
Capcom please remake Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City and resident evil outbreak with 4 cooperative co-op 4 players to join in and play offline it's more fun to get solo and multiplayer OFF Line modes and create that R worth a long hours of game play first ever create a mercenaries and secert players male and female.
cause online gaming is the awful worst and it's ruining my time and can't afford it in my Xbox one anymore.
If Capcom making Ethan or the queen vampire or the elder lady witch kills main Chris Redfield then I guess it's his time to rest in peace and move on with Leon Ada Wong Claire Jill Jake Sherry Alex Wesker and play as Hunk as Agent mercenarie so we can finely see his real face.
@Daleaf Ha! Well it really was right place right time then Thought you’d like to know I got him Night In the Woods as he’s 14 and was recently diagnosed with bipolar. I’ve read often that it’s one of the things NITW deals with in an approachable way, so thought it a good fit for him and an apt extension of your intent. Put out good and good comes back, as they say
@HUMPERDOO ah sorry to hear about your nephew's recent diagnosis. Hopefully he enjoys the game, and maybe helps him understand the condition somewhat. I haven't played night in the woods myself, might have to check it out myself haha. I have a friend who has bipolar, and it's not a nice thing at all sometimes on top of the world and other times so low, it can be managed to some extent but at least he has been diagnosed so everyone knows that there will be ups and downs and can adjust to his mood. I was hoping that when I put the code out that it would go to someone who would appreciate it/deserved it so that has made me happy that it went somewhere that I wanted, as you don't know who is getting the code when posting. Who knows you might get lucky today too as I have the £35 credit going sometime today 😀
@Daleaf Thanks. I haven't played it either, but hopefully it goes some way to helping him understand the condition in a way clinical information can't or finds difficult. It's a tough thing for anyone to deal with, but especially when you're that age and already going through the trials of puberty (my god, the memories/horror!) , and then on top of it being cooped up all day and unable to escape to school and see your mates. We all need that non-familial outlet and support base. Your friend's clearly fortunate with you as part of his, so fingers crossed my nephew finds the same when he's finally released back into the wild
@LiterallyDoNotCare Easy now! Although I pumped 200 hours into MHW without even noticing. Looking forward to Rise too.
@LiterallyDoNotCare Ah yeah, see your point now with the co-op reference. Resi co-op is such dumb fun.
@kill_Nil exactly. Make a mission structured multiplayer co-op. Never make pvp capcom.
