According to a recent rumour, there will be no complaints about Resident Evil 8 in terms of game length, and there will be more to discover than in previous games.

Capcom is said to dedicate a bigger role to exploration this time around, with plenty of optional content beneath the surface of the game. At least according to a Twitter user named AestheticGamer, who once again answered questions from fans about the upcoming survivor-horror game.

 

Rumours suggest a longer game and more exploration

According to the latest news from the potential leak, Resident Evil 8 will be longer than Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 3, yet it won’t be the longest game in the series’ history. There will be more opportunities to explore, lots of potential content waiting for us if we take the time to look around our surroundings.

 

Here are some of the more interesting things the guy (or girl) mentions:

„Okay LAST RE8 question then work. I don’t know the exact play time but I’ve heard pretty reliably out of the RE Engine games it’ll be the longest one. Not the absolute longest RE game, I personally suspect it’ll be shorter than RE6/RE4, but I’ve heard it’s longer than RE7/RE2/RE3″

“There’s a mixture of more linear & more open places, with a bigger focus on exploration than any Resident Evil game, but they’re taking a bit of an almost Souls-like approach where some areas are accessible early in, if you’re skilled or equipped enough to handle them, otherwise you’ll get your ass kicked. See more what I mean later.”

Resident Evil 8 is coming for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC in 2021.
