Gamereactor uutisoi taannoin huhuista, joiden mukaan tulossa olevan Resident Evil 8:n yksityiskohtia olisi paljastunut. Huhuilun jatko on nyt sellainen, jota osasi jo odottaakin. Twitterin mukaan tiedot ilmeisesti perustuivat siihen Resident Evil 8:n versioon, joka kuopattiin. Huhun mukaan Resident Evil 8:n kehitys aloitettiin alusta.
Vaikuttaa siis siltä, että tiedot projektin uudelleenaloituksesta pitävät paikkansa.
"Me & the people who are sharing the RE8 rumor actually talked about this a few days ago, for the record I am certain the RE8 that's being talked about is not the final game and is probably what Capcom rebooted about half a year ago. I think Capcom did a vertical slice test with fans to see where they sit with it, I didn't specifically know about the werewolves and witches until we talked about it. But something about the Chris thing and B-Movie monster direction fit very well with two other things I know, so I believe it. But even if I believe it, I'm also aware that this isn't the direction the final RE8 is going in. And Capcom are deciding what to carry over and what to severely change about RE8's direction when rebooting it."
