By way of the Ambassador program
[Update:Capcom is apparently sending the email to US Ambassador members as well,according to this Tweetfrom Twitter user Patrick Copeland. The email states that testing sessions will occur in September in Los Angeles (9/20-9-21) and in New York (9/23-9-24). The requirements are the same: you need to beregistered for the programand you have to have played a previousResident Evilgame.]
Sneaky Capcom! Although theResident Evil 2remake did arrive just this year, the last originalResident Evilrelease wasRE7back in 2017: which is (counts on fingers) forever in Capcom years! All eyes are on the publisher to see if they’ll follow up their first-person horror-oriented success with aRE7-like or a more traditionalResident Evilgame, and some lucky folksmightget that chance this September.
Based on an email from the Biohazard Ambassador programobtained by the website Biohaze, the publisher sent out a request for current members andREfans to try out “a newResident Evilgame that’s in development.” The tests will occur sometime in early September, and the project does involve Capcom Division 1 proper: making it less likely that this is just a throwaway spinoff likeUmbrella Corps.
Although the UShas an ambassador program of its own, it seems like this particular test period is limited to just Japan. Maybe we’ll hear more about this project come September: or later, if the event has an airtight NDA attached to it.
