Resident Evil
Capcom has launched a Halloween-themed site to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil series, where announcements are promised for the rest of October. The first two have already been revealed: Resident Evil 4 VR for Oculus Quest 2 and lottery-related merchandise from the Japan-only lottery series.Three new announcements have been set for October 21st, two for 22 October, a further one on 25 October and the last one on 29 October. It is difficult to say what they could be about, considering that now the Resident Evil franchise no longer includes only video games, but also other media. Some are hoping that the remake of Resident Evil 4 will be announced for next-generation consoles and for PC, others that there is talk of the release of Resident Evil Re: Verse, the online mode of Resident Evil Village.
Any them are, the hope is that it will be a great month for fans of the Capcom franchise, who will not fail to support the news as they always have.

Capcom launches Resident Evil 25th anniversary website, teases more announcements
© Provided by GamePurCapcom has launched a website to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil series, currently only available to read in Japanese.
Currently not much has been shown off on the website. One icon directs you to a page where you can sign up for a lottery to win various prizes such as an Oculus Quest, a 4K TV, and a hoodie with Resident Evil 8 characters on it as puppets, but the lottery appears to be for Japan only. The other icon on the page directs you to the webpage for the upcoming VR release of Resident Evil 4.
The site is also teasing more news throughout the month of October, with supposedly three more announcements coming on October 21, all the way up to October 29. Resident Evil 4 VR releases on October 21, so there is a chance at least one piece of news could be related to the game.
The official 25th anniversary of Resident Evil was March 22, 2021, but with Halloween coming up it isn’t too surprising that Capcom would want to drum up some hype for the games. The series has seen a bit of a revival in recent years, having been revitalised by the release of Resident Evil 7, and subsequently the remakes of Resi 2 & 3.
It’s possible some form of new game announcement could be teased as part of the 25th anniversary website, but they may also save that for a bigger games show. The first game in the series hasn’t received a remake in their current engine, but it’s possible they might be hesitant to do so because of the GameCube remake that is easily available on modern consoles.
