Resident Evil 8 details were possibly leaked in a YouTube video by community site Biohazard Declassified.

Resident Evil 8 is a video game mystery as Capcom appears to be focusing on remaking older titles on the RE Engine. Resident Evil 2 Remake was universally praised and Resident Evil 3 Remake looks to follow suit.

Fans still want news about a new title since Resident Evil 7 was the catalyst to a return to form for the series. These leaks hint at where the series might be heading in the future.

Resident Evil 8 Details Possibly Leaked Including Return of Chris Redfield and Ethan

Here's a list of the leaks from Biohazard Declassified:

  • Ethan (RE7 protagonist) will return as a playable character
  • Resident Evil 8 was tested
  • It won't be called RE8, but instead have a clever title
  • First-person view will return
  • Gameplay starts in a village leading to a castle (RE4 vibes)
  • Regular zombies to return
  • Rural, snowy and mountainous environment
  • A shadowy "female" enemy will follow you, but dissipate if shot
  • Wolf-like creatures to be involved
  • Chris Redfield to return

These rumors were sent into Biohazard Declassified's tip line. Take these leaks with a grain of salt as that email didn't include a source as to where the information was found.

Resident Evil 3 Remake launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on April 3.


UPDATE (1/28 3:57 p.m. ET): Eurogamer released a report corroborating the rumor of Resident Evil 8 being in first-person. Capcom did not comment on rumors or speculation to Eurogamer.
