We can't wait to get a closer look at the eighth chapter in the Resident Evil series - if anything, just to understand what's actually going on.

So far, we know the game is a sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, set a few years after its events, and that it involves a creepy village and fan-favorite Chris Redfield.

2021 looks to be a big year for Resident Evil.
