It seems Capcom has reversed coursed on releasing Resident Evil Re:Verse in 2021. The cell-shaded multiplayer game was originally meant to drop alongside Resident Evil Village, then pushed back to July, and now its been delayed all the way to an unspecified date in 2022.

　　The previously announced July 2021 launch of Resident Evil Re:Verse is being moved to 2022 so that the team can continue working to deliver a smooth gameplay experience. We will share updated launch details at a later time. Thank you for your patience and understanding. pic.twitter.com/o8hP363fjR

　　Resident Evil Re:Verse wasn’t received particularly well during its betas, but it wouldn’t be the first so-so multiplayer game with the RE franchise attached to it. So, kudos for Capcom for actually going back to the drawing board and trying to deliver something fans will actually enjoy. Oh, and don’t worry, despite the delay Capcom still promises those who purchased Resident Evil Village will get Re:Verse for free – just don’t lose your code if you bought a physical copy of Village!

　　For players who purchased a physical version of Resident Evil Village, we recommend that you keep track of the included Resident Evil Re:Verse download code or add it to your account now so that you are ready to play when the game launches next year.
