Resident Evil: Re:Verse: Release date, platforms, trailers, and more

By

The Resident Evil franchise has had an odd relationship with multiplayer components across its many iterations. On one hand, we have the co-op modes seen in Resident Evil 5 and 6, which many argue are the only things that made those games worth playing. Then, there are the more experimental and competitive games like Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City and the universally despised Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps.

Despite never really finding a winning formula for mixing horror and multiplayer, Capcom still announced Resident Evil: Re:Verse as a multiplayer component released alongside, but also as a stand-alone product, to Resident Evil: Village.

In the end, Resident Evil: Re:Verse wouldn’t make it on time to launch with Village as intended and was essentially not spoken of for years after that game was released. Now that the game is actually on the horizon, and with plenty of other exciting projects in the Resident Evil universe also upcoming, it would be understandable for most people to not even remember what this game was meant to be.

So, mix your herbs and organize your attache case because we’re diving deep into everything we know about Resident Evil: Re:Verse.

After many delays and a lot of silence, we finally know when we can play Resident Evil: Re:Verse. This mode will be available on October 28, 2022.

Because Resident Evil: Re:Verse is still tied to Village, you will need to own a copy of that game in order to play this multiplayer mode. So, naturally, that means that Resident Evil: Re:Verse will be only on platforms where you can play Village, which includes the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Capcom does note that if you want to play it on either the PS5 or Xbox Series X, you will simply be playing the previous generation version of the game, which is somewhat concerning.

Trailers

Resident Evil Re:Verse - Teaser Trailer

For whatever reason, the only official trailer we’ve seen for Resident Evil: Re:Verse was the incredibly short teaser trailer from back in 2021. In it, we see Leon running through the RCPD until he encounters Clair. The two stare at each other for a second before a gunshot ends the scene.

From there, we get a montage of the game in action, seeing tons of familiar characters like Jill, Chris, Ada, H.U.N.K, and even the Nemesis and Jack Baker.

Otherwise, this is a pure multiplayer, non-cannon experience where the story either isn’t existent or won’t be important whatsoever.

Gameplay

Resident Evil: Re:Verse will be a five-player, third-person deathmatch game. You will pick one of the cast members listed above, minus Nemesis and Jack, and go through a map hunting down other players and bioweapons while collecting better weapons, items, and virus capsules. When you or any other player dies, you will then turn into one of the bioweapons, depending on how many vials you had before death. The more you have, the more powerful bioweapon you can be.

Each kill you get, either while human or as a bioweapon, adds to your score. The player with the most points at the end of each five-minute round is the winner.

So far, the only map shown has been the RCPD, but we would hope other iconic areas would be included as well, such as the Spencer Mansion, Baker Estate, and maybe even the village from Resident Evil 4.

Multiplayer

Obviously, Resident Evil: Re:Verse is a multiplayer-only experience. As mentioned, games have five player limit, though we don’t know if you can play with fewer than five or if there will be any other modes besides the one, such as team or survival style modes.

Pre-order

While kind of strange, you can’t actually get Resident Evil: Re:Verse without owning Village, at least at this point. So technically, buying that game is not only pre-ordering this one but is required. Thankfully, Village is a great game on its own, with its own DLC coming too, making it well worth it.

Winter, or should we say Frostpunk 2, is coming. The sequel to one of the most brutal takes on the city-building genre has been cooking for a long time, and fans have been eagerly anticipating any scrap of news about this chilling title. The original was one of the few games to mix survival and city simulation elements together, all wrapped up in a frozen backdrop that made every decision harrowing. So come, sit by the warmth of the furnace, and learn everything we know about Frostpunk 2.
Release date

Frostpunk 2 will launch on September 20 after getting a two-month delay from its original date of July 25, 2024.
Platforms
As of the time of this writing, Frostpunk 2 is only confirmed to be coming to PC. However, the original game was also a PC exclusive before later being ported to console, so it is possible the sequel will follow a similar staggered release schedule.

It's time to brush up on your Simlish if it's rusty because the long-awaited The Sims 5, aka Project Rene, is officially on the way. This has been the longest gap between main entries since the series began, and while we did get tons of expansions for The Sims 4 to hold us over, plus the change to it becoming free to play, we're more than ready for a new entry. Each time a new game in the franchise comes out, die-hard fans always need to have a bit of skepticism about what features will be there -- both new and returning.

We can't answer all your questions yet, but here's everything we know about The Sims 5.

Homeworld 3: release date window, trailer, pre-order, and more
A massive space fleet in formation.

The long, long wait for a new Homeworld title is finally coming to a close. This classic RTS series once stood toe-to-toe with the titans of the genre such as StarCraft and Command and Conquer, but aside from a more recent prequel, it hasn't been seen since the sequel in 2003.

At the same time, the entire RTS genre has fallen from the grace it once enjoyed, with almost none of the major names existing in that space anymore. However, we did get hints at a proper Homeworld sequel coming in the future after Gearbox purchased the rights and released the Homeworld Remastered Collection, a prequel game called Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, and even a tabletop version of the game. Here's everything we know so far about this RTS title.
