Many fans are VERY curious about Resident Evil 8 but during interviews Capcom has now made it clear that technically RE8 isnt the name. This really is just Resident Evil Village and that feels strange. Lets talk about it.

#ResidentEvil8 #RE8

What do you think of Resident Evil: Village as the official title of the eighth main Resident Evil game? Capcom wants to know.

When Resident Evil: Village was announced during Sony's June PlayStation 5 preview event, some naturally took it to be called Resident Evil 8 given the game follows on directly from Resident Evil 7. But it's called Resident Evil: Village, with the "VILL" in Village meant to represent eight in Roman numerals. Capcom addressed the title in a developer message. Producers Tsuyoshi Kanda and Peter Fabiano said they were still treating Resident Evil: Village as the eighth game in the series, saying "it's Resident Evil 8, just not in name". They also say the village in which the game is set is incredibly important to the experience, so much so that it's considered a character. So I get why they're leaning on it in the title.

Fast forward to this week, and Capcom has launched a survey asking Resident Evil fans all sorts of questions about Resident Evil 8 - sorry, Resident Evil: Village. And it sounds like the powers that be at Capcom are wondering whether they've got some work to do with the game's title.
