Multiple reports have gone up regarding Capcom’s rumored Resident Evil 8 title being one of the most “gruesome” installments in the series. Although no official letters, write-ups, or statements have been issued out by Capcom on this rumor, many websites believe that this new Resident Evil 8 rumor holds some weight.
It goes without saying that rumors should always be taken with a grain of salt. However, the leaker (Dusk Golem) is often featured on videogameschronicle.com, which said site has a pretty solid track record when it comes to leaks and rumors.
In addition to the above website’s track record, back on December 10th, 2019, the website reported that former PlatinumGames CEO Tsutomu Teranishi, in a way, returned to Capcom with ex-PlatinumGames devs to start M-Two.
On March 30th, 2020, the publication site looked over Resident Evil 3 Remake‘s credits and found that it names a handful of M-Two employees, including designer Teranishi — as well as a couple of ex-PlatinumGames devs.
The website also made mention that the Xbox Team would one day have a special event in early May — due to E3 2020 being canceled. And on May 7th, 2020, the Xbox Team went up with a new Inside Xbox episode.
With that said, the latest rumor surrounding the unannounced Resident Evil 8 title by Dusk Golem claims that the forthcoming game will be “the darkest and most gruesome Resident Evil yet” while sporting the “most disturbing enemy designs in the series.”
The above information comes from websites dualshockers.com and dsogaming.com. Additionally, the two sites sourced the following tweets from Twitter user Dusk Golem:
I don’t know much on Silent Hill I haven’t shared, but its apparently its revealed soon so I’m looking forward to it. I still believe it from what I was shown, but I do have a healthy skeptic in me.
RE8 I’m excited for the reveal, it’s by far the darkest & most gruesome RE yet.
