Shocking start, crazy villagers, pregnant Mia and the beastmen – new rumors about Resident Evil 8

On the horror site RelyOnHorror, where various rumors about the games of the genre are often published, new unconfirmed information has appeared about Resident evil 8. According to the source, the working title of the project is VILLAGE: RESIDENT EVIL. Listed below are interesting game details. Some of you already read earlierbut here they are supplemented.

Vill in the word VILLAGE is Roman VIII – She’s the number 8. The start of the game will be “shocking” for longtime fans and includes Chris Redfield. In the presented demos were different models of Chris. Several sources say it looked like an old version of itself from RE7, others report that it was completely redesigned. Some tests included pregnant Miyu Winters, others – an already born child.

Ethan again the main character, but already seasoned. Some testers described him as quick-witted and hot-tempered Ash Williams from The Evil Dead. Ethan and other heroes will be voiced by the same actors who worked on Resident evil 7.

Several versions of the game inventory were tested, ranging from something very close to the more traditional RE7 inventory to something similar to the case design RE4. The game also took a first-person view from RE7.

The demo unfolded in a snowy village. Playing as Ethan, we explore some of the houses on the outskirts, trying to establish contact with the locals. Someone is in the houses, but they do not want to talk to an outsider.

“Wolf-like creatures”reported in previous leaks have been described as something like beastmen, and they attack with powerful claws. The demo version had an escape section from them without access to weapons. Players are forced to either hide in a safe place or try to get around werewolves (as in RE: Revelation 2). In other demos, you have a gun, but it is completely ineffective against these creatures, and you are also forced to run or hide. At some point in the game, you stumble upon a shotgun and can barricade the door to slow the attackers. The gun is much more effective than a gun, but it’s still difficult to kill the beastmen. In some demos, the bell rings and the creatures disappear, while in others they respond with something or someone.

The game is heavily inspired by Resident Evil 4 and Resident evil 3.5 (series of demos and trailers from various RE4 prototypes) There will be no literally supernatural things in Resident Evil 8 – they are virus-induced hallucinations (as was the case in RE3.5). Hallucinations make it difficult to understand who can be trusted, and can cause memories, as some demonstrations of the previously mentioned “shocking beginning” look like a hallucination of memory.

Beastmen Leaders – Witchlike Womanthat haunts Ethan and a large “gorilla-like” monster with “chains and a staff”. A witch cannot be killed and turns into a bug when fired. She has a characteristic laugh that lets you know when she is nearby.

In some demonstrations, the hero could escape to the castle. In others – he meets a group of ordinary people living in the village who talk about a refuge where you can hide from monsters. One of the locals begins to hallucinate, and eventually goes crazy and begins to exterminate other villagers. Ethan manages to escape with the woman who helped him escape. At this point, the demonstration is over.

Do not forget that everything can change for release.
