“Details of the operational period for Resident Evil Re: Verses, including the commencement of availability and possible announcements regarding the end of the service, can be found on the official website,” reads the copy. “Please note that, depending on the timing of your purchase of Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil Re: Verse may no longer be available, and / or the title may be available in other ways in the future.”
The description also links to a Re: Vers website, which is not yet available. The store page also contains a list of the items that appear in the Deluxe version of the game. Players purchasing the Deluxe Edition pick up the ‘Trauma Pack’ containing ‘the’ Samurai Edge ‘weapon, the’ Mr. Everywhere “accessory, a screen filter and special safe room background music.”
There is also a package of bonus items available for players who pre-order any version of the game. These include a Mr. Racoon Weapon Charm, a Survival Resources Pack and a Resident Evil Village Mini Soundtrack.
We also have a short blurb that describes the premise of the game “Set a few years after the horrific events in the much acclaimed Resident Evil 7 bio-endangerment, the brand new story begins with Ethan Winters and his wife Mia peacefully in a new location, free from their nightmares, “it reads.” Just as they are building their new life together, tragedy strikes them again. “
The Resident Evil Showcase was announced last week and will take place today at 14:00 in the Pacific / 17:00 East / 22:00 in the UK (it is 09:00 AEDT on 22 January). Read our article for all the details on how to get involved.
