[더팩트 | 최승진 기자] The latest version of Capcom’s representative survival horror game’Biohazard’ will be on the market this summer. The main character is’Biohazard Village’. Although it is the official sequel to’Bio Evil 7: Resident Evil’, it is expressed in a way that emphasizes the Roman numeral VIII instead of numbering 8.
On the 22nd, Capcom held the’Biohazard Showcase’ online and disclosed such information for the first time. The release date of’Biohazard Village’ was set on May 7th. Considering the fact that May 5th marks the beginning of summer during the season, it seems that it shows a will to target the summer market, which is the time when horror things are most noticed.
The protagonist of’Biohazard Village’ is Ethan Winters, the same as the previous work. The game begins by arriving at a remote mountain village built around an old castle in search of the kidnapped daughter. The goal is to uncover hidden secrets and conspiracy here.
It also maintains the first person perspective that was first shown in the previous work. In the previous work, a first-person perspective called’Isolated View’ was introduced to convey a sense of immersion to the player, and received favorable reviews. As a result, the reappearance of the protagonist in the previous work and introduction of the first-person view became a reality.
You have to use a variety of weapons and items to face the threats in the upcoming game. Unlike the previous work, where you could fight only in certain situations, the direction was strengthened by blocking and pushing the enemy’s attacks. Using the in-game merchant Duke, you can buy or develop weapons. The system for assembling items by collecting hidden materials throughout the game has also been improved.
Capcom is the current generation of console devices such as’PlayStation 5 (PS5)’ and’Xbox series X-S (XSX-XSS)’ and all models of’PlayStation 4 (PS4)’ and’Xbox One’ Also released as. It seems to be a measure taking into account the influence of the former model, which is still strong. The PC version comes out on Steam.
‘Biohazard’, which was first released as’PlayStation 1 (PS1)’ in Japan in March 1996, has established itself as a synonym for survival horror games. For Capcom, it was an opportunity to change the image of a developer specialized in Daejeon action games represented by’Street Fighter 2′. As the popularity spread around the world, Hollywood, USA, even made a movie based on it. It is’Resident Evil’ starring Milla Jovovich.
