On 2 November 2020 the Capcom Group networks has suffered a unidentified access within its own servers, where various confidential information such as files and emails have been discovered. In addition to personal data that it is better not to discuss, inside there are interesting information concerning some of the projects, currently in progress, in their studios. In the various stolen details it is possible to observe a quote to a curious person multiplayer title linked to Resident Evil which, apparently, could make the community talk a lot in the future.
As we can learn, it seems that the Japanese house is planning to launch some sort of game Battle Royale set in the beloved videogame universe of Chris Redfield and his companions. Known as Project Highway / Village Online, currently we have no further information to about. In fact, the leak of the document does not present any in-depth detail on the subject in question. For this, we do not know fundamental details such as the release period or which platform is expected to land. From the name of the project it seems to be a sort of multiplayer mode for the expected Resident Evil Village, but until an official confirmation by Capcom it is not possible to be completely sure.
However, we must consider that some of the stolen documents date back to 2018, so it is possible that i plans have changed with respect to their design phase. The Japanese publisher is already mobilizing on the situation, consulting the authorities for an investigation and by funding measures to improve internal security, as well as restore their private servers. In any case, the confirmation of such a project does not surprise us, given multiplayer experiments of the caliber of Umbrella Corps, Project Resistance, The Mercanaries 3D or even Operation Racoon City. While waiting to find out how much of the leak in question is real, we remind you of our reviews of the recent and impressive remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3.
