Resident Evil Showcase Confirmed for April, Resident Evil Re:Verse Open Beta Coming Soon

Today Capcom dropped some new information about Resident Evil Village. Confirming the game is coming to Stadia, a new showcase is coming this April 1st, and finally, an open beta for Resident Evil Re:Verse will launch this April 7th.

The open beta will run from April 7th until the 11th and is available for Xbox One, PS4, and Steam. You can download the launcher on April 5th but you'll need a Capcom ID to play.

In Resident Evil Re:Verse you’ll play as iconic Resident Evil characters, including Chris and Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, and Hunk as they clash in multiplayer battles across memorable Resident Evil locations. Take down opposing players with your chosen character’s unique weapons and skills to earn points, and string together takedowns to build up your point score – but beware that you’ll have a target on your back as a result! Being defeated in combat is not the end, however. Whenever you’re taken down, you’ll rise up again as a bioweapon with powerful new abilities. Based on how many vials of virus samples you managed to collect in human form, you’ll transform into some of the Resident Evil franchise’s most memorable enemies. Welcome other players to the family as Jack Baker, or hunt down a few S.T.A.R.S. team members as the hulking Nemesis. If you’re skilled – and lucky – enough, you can take revenge on the player who took you out!

As for the showcase, all Capcom was willing to share is that it'll include Resident Evil Village. My guess, they'll reveal the second demo promised in the last showcase. Currently, Maiden is available only on PS5 and stars a young woman trying to escape the castle.

Resident Evil Village is coming to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam, and Stadia on May 7th.
