Resident Evil took a decisive leap with its seventh installment since in its PlayStation version it added a mode that offered us the possibility of playing the story within the PS VR that the Japanese had then. An experience that changed everything and that is now being repeated with Village , since Sony is preparing a new model of glasses for early 2023. Will you be able to endure the terror of such an experience?
Horror like you’ve never seen it before
The latest installment of this long-running franchise came to us last May 2021. Resident Evil Village is a title in which, basically, we must rescue the protagonist’s daughter who has been kidnapped by a sinister lady and for whom we will see each other in the obligation to enter a mysterious town filled to the brim with witches, vampires, werewolves, devilish dolls and a long, long etc. of creatures that it would be better not to approach.
Well, for a few months now we have known that this eighth installment will have a version for VR glasses and that it would arrive when the new Sony hardware landed in stores. Well, there is already official confirmation of when that moment will take place in which it will be possible to revive Resident Evil VIII from another point of view. An absolutely terrifying one that very few users are able to endure without running away. And we do not say it allegorically, it is so in reality.
Of course, the bad news is that users with a PS4 and the first generation of PS VR will not have the option of enjoying this immersive mode of Resident Evil , so it will be necessary for us to get hold of the new PS5 viewer to enjoy it. A pity, but we imagine that Capcom will have its reasons for not having taken the step.
Release date confirmed
As has been rumored in recent times, Capcom has not hesitated to offer an official date for the release of this Resident Evil Village VR update that will take place on February 22, 2023 , at the same time as PS VR 2 arrives. to stores around the world. In this way, those who have already purchased the game since its launch in 2021 will not have to drop another euro to live the experience from another point of view and will be able to immerse themselves in it completely free of charge.
Remember that, although it is possible to connect the first PS VR to a PS5 (via a camera adapter cable), this VR mode of Resident Evil Village will not be able to run on them , so they are left out of the compatibility registry. A measure that, as we previously indicated in the case of PS4, is surely justified by the enormous change that the new hardware that Sony will put on sale in February entails: new controls, more sensors such as eye tracking and the absence of a camera to track head movements.
And you? Do you plan on playing Resident Evil Village in that new VR mode?
