Rumors have been swirling aboutResident Evil 8, with new rumors about the supposedly in-development horror game appearing nearly every day. The latest set of rumors tease what kind of enemies players can expect to see inResident Evil 8, along with some rather exciting news.
This information comes from ChaoticClaire on Twitter, translating information from CV. ChaoticClaire was the source for a number ofResident Evil 3remake leaks that turned out to be accurate, so she is more credible than many other Internet leakers. At any rate, ChaoticClaire’s tweet reiterated the rumored"Village" subtitle forResident Evil 8, while also suggesting that the enemies in the game will have “less tentacles” than fans are used to, and will include a big, aggressive enemy armed with chains and a “staff-like weapon.”

ChaoticClaire also suggested thatResident Evil 8will focus more on occultism and body horror, which matches up with previous rumors about the game. She also reiterated the rumor thatResident Evil 8zombies will have armor. But perhaps the most interesting thing about ChaoticClaire’s tweet is the final claim she makes.
ChaoticClaire ended her recent tweet with “…sooner than expected?!!” which could be taken to mean a couple of different things. It could mean that theResident Evil 8revealwill happen sooner than fans expect. Right now, it’s believed to be taking place at the Sony PS5 game reveal event, which currently has no date but is expected to happen at some point in June, or in a surprise announcement by Capcom on June 10.
Alternatively, ChaoticClaire could be hinting at theResident Evil 8release date. The latest information on theResident Evil 8release date from other reputable leakers is that the game is aiming for a January 2021 launch, though it could get pushed back to February or March 2021 instead due to development issues that have arisen amidst the coronavirus pandemic. But maybe this means that it will launch even sooner than that, perhaps at some point this upcoming holiday season.
With theResident Evil 8rumorsshowing no signs of slowing down and many reputable leakers claiming that an announcement is coming soon, fans should get some much-needed clarification sooner rather than later.
Resident Evil 8is rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
