According to new rumours, Resident Evil 8 will come out next year. It’ll be in first-person, says serial leaker AestheticGamer, “and many purists are going to hate it” because “it’s taking some serious departures [with] story/enemies and the like”.
If you believe the rumour, it started life as Revelations 3, a more experimental spin-off game, but testers liked it so much that developers Capcom decided to turn it into a full fledged entry in the main series.
