GAMEFINITY.ID, Jakarta – The Resident Evil game franchise turns 25 years old on Monday (22/3/2021). Coinciding with that, Capcom announced that it would be holding a new Resident Evil showcase for April. In the announcement on the blog, Monday (22/3/2021) The Japanese game developer and publisher has not yet mentioned the exact date for the showcase. This event will be part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil game franchise.

“We don’t want to spoil any surprises, so we’ll leave it to you all to speculate on what this upcoming presentation will contain.”

However, Capcom promises to provide some more details about its various social media channels in the days and weeks ahead, so fans should be prepared for more information.

The first Resident Evil game was released in Japan under the name “Biohazard” on March 22, 1996, before being released in North America eight days later.

“Today marks the day the first Resident Evil launched in Japan in 1996, but this is only the beginning of the celebrations. On behalf of everyone at Capcom, I want to thank all Resident Evil fans around the world,” wrote Capcom USA community manager Kellen Haney.

“What started as a single mysterious incident in the Arklay Mountains has resulted in countless games featuring stories of survival, horror, and sometimes hope.

“Stories of fear unfold near Raccoon City. A story of survival and sibling bonding in a remote research facility far away. A spooky plot involving the president’s daughter, adventures to explore the world in Africa, China, the United States and beyond.

“A ship is like a floating house and a city on the sea that has been erased from the map. Punching the boulders in the volcano. The experiment spun around in fear. The story of a family tragedy in Dulvey, Louisiana. Warm welcome to family. No matter where you start with Resident Evil, we hope you look forward to what’s to come next. ”

Capcom also confirmed that Resident Evil Village will launch on Stadia on the same date as other platforms, May 7. Players who purchase the game for the streaming service will receive the Stadia Premiere Edition.
