Capcom first unveiled Resident Evil 8 - or as it's officially titled, Resident Evil Village - at the PlayStation 5 reveal event back in June. The new dark, rural European setting sees Resident Evil 7 protagonist Ethan Winters return along with Mia Winters and Chris Redfield. However, the biggest additions are in the enemies. Resident Evil Village will, for the first time in the franchise, bring werewolves and witches into the mix. While the game is mostly being built for next-gen consoles, Capcom also confirmed that they're working on PS4 and Xbox One versions as well.

Unfortunately, they couldn't say anything for certainty yet, but they'll be able to share more information very soon. The program went into a few more details about the game in general, but the biggest announcement was the fact that it's being considered for both current-gen and next-gen consoles, which would bridge the gap more smoothly for fans looking forward to playing Capcom's latest offering in the survival horror franchise. As for other details revealed on the Capcom program, the game will center around an older Ethan from Resident Evil 7 as he settles down with his wife, Mia. However, the arrival of Chris Redfield throws his normal life into chaos yet again. Beyond that, Capcom didn't offer much information, but we do know that it will be a direct continuation of Resident Evil 7. From the brief glimpses of clips from Resident Evil Village, we got to see a detailed mansion (because it's Resident Evil), and a tease for the various enemies we'll encounter in the story. We'll have to wait a little while longer for more information on the anticipated title. Resident Evil Village is currently in development for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC, but could come to PS4 and Xbox One as well.

Final Fantasy XVI recently kicked off the PS5 showcase with an unexpected bang, showing a lengthy reveal trailer that teased both story and gameplay. The game, as an exclusivity deal between Sony and Square Enix, will be a PS5 console exclusive though will also come to PC. While the announcement trailer may lead us to believe that the game is a lot further in development than we thought, it turns out that might actually be the case - and we can expect it to release sooner than we think. READ MORE: From Software Reveals New Elden Ring Details, World Building and More Speaking recently on Triple Click podcast, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, who has a great track record in the industry relating to leaks, revealed that Final Fantasy XVI had actually been in development for almost four years. This is according to sources close to Schreier, who also revealed that due to its lengthy development period, the game could be arriving a lot sooner than we think. "I've heard from people who are familiar with the game's development that it's actually been in development for at least four years in some capacity, so it's coming sooner than people think," said Schreier. While this is excellent news, we still recommend taking it with a tiny grain of salt for now. Square Enix has a notorious history of lengthy development times between Final Fantasy games. While this wasn't true in the 2000s, the development of Final Fantasy XV - which actually began as another spin-off of Final Fantasy XIII - took almost a decade in the development period. Final Fantasy VII Remake's development, despite it being announced in 2015, also frustrated some fans as it hit a few roadblocks before its eventual release this year. It's surprising to hear that Final Fantasy XVI might come along in a timely fashion, seemingly beginning its conception around the time that Final Fantasy XV released, or a little before that. However, the upcoming RPG isn't being handled by the same team, which could explain the relatively faster development process. If Schreier's comment is true, we could expect the game to possibly release sometime in 2021. Final Fantasy XVI is currently in development for PS5 and PC.

Elden Ring remains one of the most elusive video games in recent memory. First announced all the way back at Xbox's E3 2019 showcase, the upcoming From Software action-RPG has since gone quiet without much in the way of actual gameplay or trailers. However, we're still getting bits of information regarding some interesting details to keep us hooked. From Software recently broke their silence on Elden Ring, though not in the way many fans might have expected. Nonetheless, we still have quite a bit to digest regarding new story details, world building and more. READ MORE: DOOM Eternal Comes to Game Pass on October 1st During the 23rd Japan Media Arts Festival at a talk for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, hosts Tokita Takahashi and Sayawaka read a statement from Elden Ring's director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, revealing new information about their latest project (translated by Reddit user cocoakoumori). "Basically, I decide the thematic elements of the game first to develop the motifs and world view of the title," said Miyazaki in the statement. "Now we're in development for a game called Elden Ring which is larger and deeper than anything we've done before (..) history, or mythos, we feel we're challenging ourselves to make a game that deals with these two opposing [elements]." Speaking a bit more in-depth about Elden Ring's open world and horse riding, Sayawaka said, "Elden Ring has staff from the foreign drama Game of Thrones participating in development and the game has got a sort of 'open-worlded-ness' to it with wide open areas where you can ride your horse and things, it seems there are scenes like that in the game so, well,... There's a feeling of a world here, I suppose, right?" Tokita chimed in to talk about George R.R. Martin's influence on the game, and how his works helped establish some of the politics, racism, and societies of the fantasy world. "True, well, this is one that I personally like and I think it's a very painful fantasy drama... There's pain there and from a human perspective there are themes of racism, politics, citizenship, and so on (...) So this is a work that is psychologically quote painful in a lot of ways and making a game with Miyazaki which such a huge world view.. on a world-level, everyone's looking forward to it so..." Sayawaka added, "The actions of the characters... Really make you think 'yeah, humans are like that' it's just tremendous (...) and when you have history and myth, from a human perspective you can make a very grand story out of that. I don't want to say too much but I'm certainly excited." Elden Ring is currently in development for PS4, Xbox One and PC, with no word yet about a next-gen release.

id Software's 2016 revamp of the iconic DOOM franchise yielded plenty of positive results - many critics praised it as being one of the best shooters of the decade. In my opinion, they took it one step further with this year's phenomenal DOOM Eternal, serving as a direct sequel that fleshed out the series' lore in extraordinary ways. With this potential game of the year contender still fresh on everyone's minds, it looks like Xbox will be bringing the hellish shooter to Game Pass next week. READ MORE: Bloodborne Mod Fully Restores 'Great One Beast' Unused Boss Fight Xbox announced via their website that DOOM Eternal is coming to Game Pass on October 1st, 2020. This was announced shortly after Xbox acquired Zenimax/Bethesda earlier this week, a historical move in the gaming world that has placed several great and established IPs on Microsoft's lap - one of them being DOOM. The sequel takes everything established in the 2016 game, from fast-paced gameplay to vicious violence, and injects a level of strategy into the mix that elevates it above your ordinary first-person shooter. Many media outlets have already called it one of the best shooters of the generation (including us), and it's great that more players will get to experience it at a decent price point come October. Along with the acquisition of id Software under Zenimax/Bethesda, Microsoft now sits with a wealth of studios and IPs that could spearhead numerous potential exclusives for the platform. Dishonored developer Arkane Studios has already begun working on their next AAA project which will likely be a console exclusive for Xbox, while we're fairly certain that id Software will push on with a third entry in the DOOM series at some point too. There's great potential here for this legendary shooter to continue reigning supreme, so if you have yet to experience DOOM Eternal, then we highly recommend picking it up as soon as it hits Game Pass. DOOM Eternal is now available for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
