Rumors: Resident Evil 8 will get an optional VR mode

Портал Gematsu with reference to an informant “familiar with the situation at Capcom,” reported the presence of VR mode support in the yet unannounced Resident Evil 8, similar to what was in Resident Evil 7.

The Gematsu report exclusively focuses on PlayStation VR. Whether it will be possible to run Resident Evil 8 in virtual reality mode using other VR headsets is not specified.

Let us remind you that on PlayStation 4 the seventh part of the cult horror series can be played entirely in virtual reality. This option is still not available on other target platforms (including PC).

As of December 31, 2019, Resident Evil 7 sales reached 7 million copies. According to portal statistics ResidentEvil.net, the share of VR players is about 12% (866 thousand).

Rumors that, following Resident Evil 7, the eighth part will be first person game, appeared back in January. In February, insider AestheticGamer (aka Dusk Golem) reported that The project will not be VR exclusive.

According to unconfirmed information, Resident Evil 8 inspired by Resident Evil 3.5 (canceled version of Part XNUMX) with its emphasis on the paranormal. Recently, a possible subtitle of the game appeared on the Internet - village.

The release of Resident Evil 8 is expected in 2021, apparently on next-generation consoles. As reported in publishing house Immersive VR Education, the new PlayStation VR model will be released even earlier - already in 2020.
