Capcom’s unannounced but inevitable Resident Evil 8 will retain the first-person gameplay of predecessor Resident Evil 7, according to a new report on the project from YouTube fan channel Residence of Evil.
It also tallies with what Eurogamer has heard independently of the game from sources close to publisher Capcom.
Resi 7’s first-person viewpoint being kept in Resi 8 is something of a surprise, several years after the former’s oddball virtual reality origins. The shift to first-person was a huge departure for the series, and one which Capcom has steered clear of implementing in its recent Resident Evil remakes.
