We may have some exciting news for fans of the Resident Evil series, as the latest rumour seems to suggest that Capcom will be implementing a virtual reality mode in the upcoming Resident Evil Village. If this were true, fans would be in for quite the treat when the game becomes available for next-gen consoles.
This information was first reported by Biohazard Declassified, who revealed that one of the players who participated in the Resident Evil Ambassador playtest confirmed a VR mode will be added to Resident Evil Village, and that this would be an exclusive feature for the PlayStation 5 version of the game.
The reason why this hasn't been officially confirmed, according to the Resident Evil Ambassador, is because Sony is still not ready to reveal their plans in regards to virtual reality on their highly anticipated next-gen console.
Sony has previously revealed that the PlayStation VR headset will be compatible with the upcoming PlayStation 5, but maybe there is still more to reveal in regards to this specific peripheral that they are letting on. We'll just have to keep waiting for official information from either Capcom or Sony.
