While Resident Evil: The Village continues to bask in very high anticipation prior to its release on May 7, there may be strong speculation that the multiplayer player-vs-player spin-off Resident Evil Re:Verse's launch date is suggesting it has been pushed back. Resident Evil's fan twitter account @RE8countdown tweeted that they are getting promotional material that states service for Re:Verse is "scheduled to begin this summer".

The Resident Evil ambassadors have received an email mentioning that RE:Verse will be available in the summer, I also received that email, there are no further details. https://t.co/E103PFP7m7 pic.twitter.com/b5sbTT6mXF

It had been assumed by the fans that in honor of Resident Evil's 25th anniversary, both games would be released alongside each other. Capcom would confirm to VGC on Tuesday that there may have been an error in communication and Re:Verse's launch window was never clarified. The multiplayer game had several betas since its announcement as the development team aimed to iron out technical issues it had been experiencing.

Re:Verse's gameplay consists of 4 to 6 players controlling various characters for the franchise in 5 minute deathmatches. Weapons, items, and virus samples are scattered throughout the map to increase your chances of winning by earning the most points before time expires. When your character is taken out, you transform into a deadly bioweapon to exact revenge on other players. Getting revenge can aid you in acquiring extra points.

Re:Verse is free with your purchase of Resident Evil Village, and is set to be released later this summer.
