The free multiplayer spinoff included with Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil Re:Verse, has been delayed once again and is now set to release in 2022. Initially announced back in January prior to Resident Evil Village‘s launch, Resident Evil Re:Verse sees players take on the role of various Resident Evil characters from the franchise to battle it out in iconic franchise locations to the death. While a beta was held previously, the multiplayer title had been expected to launch alongside Resident Evil Village before ultimately getting delayed, and now it’s not even releasing this year.
