News Resident Evil Village Will Take Full Advantage of PSVR2 Sense Controllers
Pricing to be announced in due course
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was transformative with PSVR, but it was restricted in some ways. Perhaps hamstrung by the aging PS Move controllers, it was played entirely with the DualShock 4 controller. This was, of course, an adequate experience – but it lacked the tactile feel that we’ve come to expect from...

Happy pills
You’ve probably already seen the first teaser trailer for Netflix’s adaptation of Resident Evil – it’s been viewed over one million times since debuting yesterday – but this follow-up lays out the plot a little better.

News Here's Your First Look at Netflix's Resident Evil
The horror
Unlike last year’s Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, which was squarely aimed at fans of the franchise, Netflix’s adaptation has always looked set to plot a different path.

Revitalised?
It’s been eons since we last heard word about Resident Evil Re:Verse, the celebratory multiplayer spin-off that was intended to be a part of the overall Resident Evil Village package.

Seeing S.T.A.R.S.
Resident Evil Village was the first of Capcom's long-running horror franchise to grace PlayStation 5, and it of course looks fantastic on the new hardware. But what of the older games in the series?

Biohazard
Sony’s big-screen adaptations of Resident Evil have, historically, earned the organisation a pretty penny, so it’s perhaps no surprise to see it pushing upcoming movie Welcome to Raccoon City with all its might.

Itchy tasty
Here’s your first look at Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, the new movie starring Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield.

"Working to deliver a smooth gameplay experience"
Man, Capcom's multiplayer spin-off just can't catch a break, can it? Resident Evil Re:Verse, the multiplayer companion piece to Resident Evil Village, was due to launch sometime this month, although we never did get a full release date. Now, the publisher has decided to push back the launch even...
News Multiplayer Spin-Off Resident Evil Re:Verse Releases Next Month
No date, though
If you bought Resident Evil Village, then you’ll be eligible to play multiplayer spin-off Resident Evil Re:Verse.

News Resident Evil Re:Verse Not Actually Launching with Village
Pack-in game comes this summer
Since its reveal earlier this year, we've sort of assumed that Resident Evil Re:Verse would launch on the same day as its bigger and better brother Resident Evil Village — the date of 7th May 2021. Re:Verse is provided as a free pack-in like Resident Evil Resistance, after all. However, it turns out that's not...
News Capcom Extends Availability of Convoluted Resident Evil Village Demo
Play until 9th May
You've already had two chances to play the Resident Evil Village demo in the lead up to the full game's launch, but we wouldn't blame you if you passed on both opportunities.

News Resident Evil Village Has a Cute Reference to an Old Merchant
What're yer buyin'?
Resident Evil 4’s shady merchant is in the video game Hall of Fame, so it’s cute to see the character referenced in the all-new Resident Evil Village.

News Resident Evil Village Has Gyro Aiming on PS5, But It's Busted
Not like this
Sony’s new DualSense controller, much like the DualShock 4, has pretty good motion sensors in it – but developers rarely use them. This is frustrating, because we’re big believers in gyro aiming: the concept of fine-tuning your shots by tilting the pad. Those who’ve experienced the feature in, say, Gravity Rush 2 and Uncharted:...
