According to their latest Tweet,Resident Evil 8will bebringing back Ethan Wintersfrom the last mainline game in the franchise. Whether or not this is the case, many fans continue to hope that the next game will have a few answers to the mysterious Blue Umbrella Corporation.
In addition to the return of Winters,Resident Evil 8is likely to lean intomore mythical creatures like werewolves. Gameplay-wise, Dusk Golem hints that the game will also have hallucinations and insanity elements, perhaps hearkening back to the cult classic Gamecube game,Eternal Darkness. There’s been no details from Capcom at this time, so for now, fans should ensure to temper their expectations.
If true, the major departures from what fans have come to expect from the series have left more than a few players concerned. Still, it’s been reported that internal tests for the thenResident Evil Revelations 3were so positive that Capcom decided to switch gears and convert it into a mainline entry. With all the talk of cultist and mythical creatures, other rumors have indicated that traditional zombies will be included as well, though the leaked information details a wild sequenceinvolving a castle siege with witches. Either way, fans should be getting a very interesting and potentially fun next game in the long running series.
