Or, what was RE Rev 3 under a different name
Resident Evil Revelationsis kind of a quiet little cottage franchise for Capcom.
SureResident Evil 7was the thing that put it all back on the map, butRevelationswas hailed at the time for its return to survival horror, andRev2had a brilliant co-op component alongside of the much-improved raid mode, the spiritual successor to mercenaries minigame. I really want to see it return. And according to a very reliable Capcom insider, it just might.
Speaking on Twitter, Dusk Golem (who was spot on about multipleRE-related news tidbits) states that “Revelations 3is coming out within a year ofVillage‘s release date, (corrected to) late 2021 or early 2022.” They clarify the news by saying that it likely won’t be calledRevelations 3, but possiblyResident Evil Outrage, as Capcom seemingly is moving away from theRevelationsmoniker.
It’ll be part of the 25th anniversary celebration, “along withVillage,” and Dusk Golem claims thatRevelations 3(or whatever title it ends up with) is “almost definitely going to be a Switch timed exclusive.” All of this will allegedly happen “later this year,” as Capcom announces anotherResident Evilmarketing blitz post-Villagelaunch.
Given how spot on they’ve been in the past, this is much safer of a bet than a lot of other similar rumors. It’s also much lower stakes, as it’s essentially a spinoff rather than a mainline entry. Whatever the case, if they bring back co-op and build off ofRev2, I’ll be happy.
