News about "Resident Evil 7" has been scarce ever since the game was announced. However, rumors have it that the release of the game might be unveiled in the middle of this year.
Many reports indicate that the game developer company Capcom might reveal when the game is slated for a release during the 2016 Electronic Entertainment Expo, which is scheduled for June 14-16 in Los Angeles, California. Now, the E3 2016 website listed Capcom US among the participating companies.
Fans of the horror genre are excited to find out what the upcoming installment in the "Resident Evil" series will offer. Seemingly, many players had a feeling that the last game in the series fell short of expectations, not to the level of its precursors, and "Resident Evil 6" is reportedly criticized strongly online.
Fans said that the previous game was somehow too focused on gunplay as opposed to increased tension and setting. However, other installments made the title popular among fans. As a result, there are speculations that the upcoming installment will return the game to the roots of horror rather than action.
Developers of "Resident Evil 7" have been listening to fans' feedback and they are ready to take up the challenge. Amid the increased speculations, the developer company remains tight lipped about details of the game.
The latest information came from Siliconera, which shared some of the answers of game producer Masachika Kawata during a Q&A forum for the 600th Dengeki PlayStation issue. With regard to "Resident Evil 7," the producer said they are "currently not at the state to talk about it" but added "please stay tuned."
Kawata was also asked concerning people's take on the series losing its horror touch, whereby he responded, "Since there's been more spinoff titles, I can see how it can be perceived in such a way. And of course I believe that we should produce titles that bring out the horror. I'm thinking about it and also preparing for it."
