If you were here at Pure Xbox back on Tuesday, you'll have seen a rumour by Twitter user AestheticGamer (aka Dusk Golem) suggesting a new Resident Evil was coming out in 2021. Now, the alleged leaker has shed more light on the game, confirming it will be Resident Evil 8, but that wasn't always the case.
According to Dusk Golem, the game existed for most of its development as Resident Evil: Revelations 3, before being converted into Resident Evil 8:
The leaker went on to reveal more information in follow-up tweets, suggesting Resident Evil: Revelations 3 was received far more positively by internal testers than expected. Apparently, the game has been given an extra year to convert into Resident Evil 8, including changes to the characters, story and more.
There's no news about a potential release date yet, but Dusk Golem has suggested the game was supposed to be revealed at E3 2020. Additionally, they suggest "those weary should be open minded", as apparently most who played the near-finished version of Revelations 3 thought it was "terrific".
Do you buy into this rumour? Are you looking forward to Resident Evil 8? Let us know in the comments.

apparently it's going to be first person as well which is a shame, i think Resi is better 3rd person myself
@FullbringIchigo ugh, I hope not.
So is Resident Evil turning into a yearly series now? They rushed 3 out the door, which is why it's so short. They may have been working in this for a while but we'll have to see if there is any truth to these rumours
@SuperNintendoMii personally i think they should put in a 3rd and 1st person option that way everybody can play it how they like
I prefer third person view but if they add first person option that is fine of course. All I want is them to remake Code Veronica because it's one of the best games and they already created Claire for 2 Remake.
Revelations was great so I'm hoping this will follow that lineage.
Third person is the way to go for Resident Evil. I didn't mind 7 going first person as a one-off and I don't mind 8 following up that story but I was hoping it'd so in third person starring the classic characters we've come to know and love. Ethan, and Mia too, were decent characters but there's not nearly as much to them as Leon, Ada, Claire, Jill, Chris or even Barry.
