Resident Evil Village release date and new Re:Verse multiplayer game confirmed

Capcom has confirmed the release date for Resident Evil Village – the eighth major version of the blood-and-guts survival horror game – while also announcing a surprise new online multiplayer deathmatch game.
In a live-streamed Resident Evil Showcase late on Thursday evening the makers announced a May 7 release for Xbox Series X/S and Sony PS5, as well as the previous-gen Xbox One and PS4 consoles.
If you haven’t snared a new console yet, no problem. The game will support Smart Delivery on the Xbox platform, while the upgrade will also be free on the PlayStation 5 if you buy the PS4 version. A PS5 demo of the game is already available and we’ll have a full report on Friday.

Did somebody say demo? (We did. We said demo.) Revealed during #REShowcase, a PlayStation 5 exclusive visual demo, Maiden, will be available for download starting later today!
