Earlier this week,Resident Evil 8details were allegedly leaked by Twitter account ChaoticClaire, including some rather surprising revelations about what the game would entail. According to the leak,Resident Evil 8will feature werewolvesand a witch that would pursue players in a manner not unlike Mr. X or Nemesis. Another leaker has since spoken out about these claims, offering a bit of clarification on the matter.
AestheticGamer is known for their accurateResident Evilleaks, and they backed up the claims made by ChaoticClaire, but with a caveat. AestheticGamer believes that the version ofResident Evil 8described by ChaoticClaire is the one that Capcom moved away from “about half a year ago.” This isn’t the first time that AestheticGamer has claimed thatResident Evil 8restarted development. However, just because this werewolf game may not be released asResident Evil 8, AestheticGamer believes that it still has a “high chance” of releasing under a different title.

AestheticGamer explained that there are some things about theResident Evilwerewolf game that has “connections” with some other game. AestheticGamer didn’t elaborate on that front. However, if theResident Evilwerewolf game isn’tRE8, perhaps it’s safe to assume that it will be released as a spin-off game, as Capcom has been known to release manyREspin-offs over the years.
Previously, it’s been claimed that by AestheticGamer that anewResident Evilgame will release in 2021, but that it wouldn’t beRE8. Maybe thisResident Evilwerewolf game is that 2021 game. Backing up the possibility of a newResident Evilfor next year is the fact that Capcom has been inviting members of theResident EvilAmbassador Program to test a new game, which means that an announcement could be right around the corner.
Some rumors have suggested that the newResident Evilcould even be announced alongside thePlayStation 5 reveal, itself rumored for February or March. That remains to be seen, but we’ll learn if there’s any truth to those particular rumors once the PS5 is properly unveiled.
Resident Evilis easily one ofCapcom’s biggest franchises, and so it’s a guarantee that moreResident Evilis on the way. Whether that comes in the form ofResident Evil 8, a werewolf/witch spin-off game, or something else entirely is still up in the air at this point.
A newResident Evilgame is rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
