By Jack O'Dwyer
The Resident Evil "RE: Verse" release date is the same as its single-player counterpart: May 7, 2021.
Capcom has announced a multiplayer title coming soon to its popular franchise, Resident Evil, during their live-streamed showcase on Jan 21, 2021. Known as "RE:Verse," this game will allow fans to go toe-to-toe with each other as some of their favorite characters.
Fortunately, fans won't have to wait to jump feet-first into some competitive content.
Resident Evil RE:Verse Release Date
RE:Verse will release on May 7, 2021. Those who pre-order the main series release, Resident Evil: Village, will get free early access to RE:Verse's closed beta until Jan. 25 at 9:59 a.m.
According to Tsuyoshi Kanda, a producer for the project, RE:Verse is meant to be something of a celebration for the franchise's 25th anniversary. Players were shown a brief clip during the showcase, where they learned that they would be able to pick a character from a full roster of both protagonists and popular NPCs—even enemies like the infamous Nemesis.
More information can be found on Capcom's Resident Evil website—specifically on a post detailing its closed beta. RE:Verse will be available on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as their next-generation siblings.
