@VectorTwoSix

For now I would not be hopeful, this article was released https://wccftech.com/phantom-blade-zero-playstation-5-pulled-listings-no-physical-edition/ that shows for now, there is no intention for a physical release, maybe it will be like Black Myth Wukong where they will release physical later

Possibly after the timed exclusivity ends

Look I'm really excited for Phantom Blade Zero, but I refuse to buy it digitally. Much like Black Myth Wukong, I will wait if I have to, but if you're getting a physical, please sign me up (I heard rumours there would be some physicals released).

@Phreak

I'm very excited for FF Resonance.

I'm going to binge play Hellraiser the whole weekend. It's so freaking good. Hellraiser: Revival has such sights to show you.

And here I was pondering yesterday if I should get it or not and decided to order a copy because it was a Physical Disc

Glad I made that decision lol

Resident Evil Requiem Began Development as an Online Multiplayer Game

by Sam Aberdeen on 09 October, 2026

Capcom has officially confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem began development as an online multiplayer game before morphing into a mainline single-player entry. This confirms an older rumour from regular Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem who shared the same news a year ago.

As reported by IGN, Capcom producer Masachika Kawata revealed in the Biohazard 30th Special Magazine that at one point, Resident Evil Requiem was being worked on as an online multiplayer game. However, the team ultimately decided to revamp it as a single-player title along the way. This somewhat explains the sandbox nature of the Raccoon City sections of the game, which seem fairly large, as if it was purposefully designed to incorporate multiplayer elements or host more than one player.

Kawata stated:

“Every game is a continuous process of trial and error. For example, with Resident Evil Requiem, [game director Koshi Nakanishi] initially went so far as to develop it as an online game. However, the results of research conducted partway through development were not favorable, so we decided to prioritize the horror concept once again and abandoned the online direction.”

Our best guess is that the Raccoon City section of the game was meant to serve as a sandbox map to facilitate the online multiplayer aspects. Perhaps it was meant to be larger in scope as well, involving several players either teaming up to fight infected or fight each other. Fans have already pointed out its bizarre design choice, as if the city sections were for a completely different game.

In related news, the writer of Resident Evil Requiem accidentally spilled some details on the upcoming story expansion for the game, giving fans a hint that it will delve deeper into th backstory of Oswell E. Spencer. This also lines up with another Dusk Golem leak claiming players would return to the Spencer Mansion in the DLC, an iconic location from the very first game in the series.

Resident Evil Requiem is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
