Videos offer first look at Resident Evil Re:Verse as multiplayer beta goes live

Resident Evil’s Re:Verse beta has gone live on consoles for users who pre-registered, with new videos offering an extensive look at how the multiplayer game works.

The online-only title is billed as a celebration of Resident Evil’s 25^th anniversary and comes bundled for free with the upcoming Resident Evil Village.

The game has players controlling various Resident Evil characters in a six-person deathmatch. Footage reveals that players must collect virus samples littered around the map, which in turn increases their damage and accuracy.

Once killed, players are transformed into various monsters and can continue attacking other players. The type of monster you transform into is also determined by how many virus samples you collected before being defeated. Get enough and you can become a Tyrant.

Each character has unique weapons and skills, while the comic book style visual filter can be switched on and off via the graphics menu, should players prefer a more traditional look.

Resident Evil Village’s May 7, 2021 release date was confirmed during a special Resident Evil Showcase event last week, where Capcom also announced the release of a demo on PlayStation 5.
