Resident Evil 8 Could Be Delayed Due To Corona

Rumors about the latest Resident Evil 2022 game have been around since last year. However, these rumors became even more ferocious when discussing what would be present in this game. Recently, AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem has just a few stories that might be present in the next RE.

Among the many rumors, the official name of Resident Evil 8 is one that is hot to talk about. He said, Capcom will bring Resident Evil Revelations 3 to this survival horror franchise. But the question now is, will RE 8 really be released next year?

Schedule Subject to Change

A new report says Resident Evil 8 has a release schedule in the first quarter of 2022. With this source still unknown, it is likely that the studio will take the same month as the previous game’s release in early April 2022.

But considering that there is currently an unresolved COVID-19 pandemic, there is a possibility that this release will be delayed. Fans of course have to wait longer to play the latest series. If indeed this game is postponed, we can rule out the first three months of 2022 and the game will be released after that.

Not Only RE8 Can Be Delayed

Resident Evil 8 isn’t the only game that has been delayed due to COVID-19. Fans are asking whether Elden Ring will also be delayed for PS5 and Xbox Series X or if the console, which has a holiday 2022 launch date, could also be delayed on its own.

In addition, many are even wondering whether games like Ghost of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077 which have been postponed can also change their release date due to the pandemic. Because there has been an appeal from developers to work from home safely, it seems gamers don’t really have a problem if they have to wait longer.

There is no confirmation from Capcom yet

Once again we say, news regarding delays, more fantasy storylines and more are just rumors at this point. Capcom as the developer has yet to provide official confirmation of the news circulating on the Internet.

Even the latest rumors also say that Chris Redfield will be present in this series with his opponent Marguerite from Resident Evil 7. Let’s wait for official information from Capcom.
