The new Resident Evil (which only lacks the number eight from the title) gets more leaks.

The new information comes from Biohazard Declassified. The game got a playtest, where several Ambassadors (those who subscribed to the newsletter) could try the new Resident Evil. „The enemies within these areas are very pale, almost rotten skin, with tattoos on their foreheads and hands. Some with armour, but not like knight armour, that can also be shot off. They only speak of “normal” enemy types in this test, not of the “werewolf” like creatures we’d spoke on, and that was shown in the trailer.

They do speak in a distorted foreign language. Some carried daggers, swords, axes, and even spears. There are some without armed weapons. They jump and grab and bite similar to Resident Evil 3, and you can button-mash to take less damage. Some enemies will throw you to the ground instead of biting. The one with the sword has a special attack that can instantly behead Ethan. And according to the source, you’ll recognize the move once you play the game. Most rooms were bright but few bedrooms were dark. The segment was somewhere within the castle on a higher level and you needed to find a key to open a big door downstairs,” the site says.

There was more information about a boss fight that occurred right after the door. „Once opening the door the lady in black named Olga appeared and released a swarm of insects. The player won’t have to fight the insects unless she spots Ethan. She would laugh constantly whenever she spots him. In this boss fight, players grabbed a torch to use fire to scare her insects off to get Olga exposed to shoot her. After a bit of shooting, she’ll transform into this insect/spider-like creature with long spider legs and releasing more insects coming out from her insect-like bottom. Her human remains are still there, but naked and covered with black goo. After the defeat, she melted and some parts of skeletons covered in the goo remained and she dropped an item. She also released all of her insects, to which the player will find and kill them to stop them from attacking you in certain rooms. After that, the demo ended,” the site claims.

Peter Fabiano, the producer, then revealed that Resident Evil: Village might be getting an Unfair difficulty level, where the number of enemies might be tripled! There’s also going to be a VR version of the game, but Capcom is waiting for Sony to be ready. In other words, it’s coming to the new PlayStation VR.

Resident Evil: Village launches in early 2021 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The funny thing is: the 30-minute demo was on PlayStation 4 Pro. We previously wrote why the game won’t allegedly launch on the current-gen consoles…
