Resident Evil ReVerse rises from its grave with new PEGI rating

Comeback time for M.I.A multiplayer title?

RememberResident Evil ReVerse? Capcom’s multiplayer actioner featuring a mish-mash of characters from survival horror’s foremost universe? Of course you do, it was only in development, like, a year ago. Anyway, it appears that the online shooter —indefinitely delayed back in the summer of 2021— is finally preparing to resurface.

Eagle-eyed editors at Gematsunoted that the Pan European Game Information board (PEGI) has recentlyupdated its listingforResident Evil ReVerseon Stadia, unsurprisingly affording the horror-based title an “18” certificate. While the PlayStation, PC, and Xbox editions ofReVersewere rated over a year ago, this Stadia rating is brand new, which suggests that Capcom is ready to get the spin-off title back on track and into the hands ofResident Evilfans the world over.

Originally designed for the series’ 25th anniversary,Resident Evil ReVerseis a revamped and expanded take on faithREmultiplayer mode “Mercenaries.” InReVerse,up to six players will take up the mantles of several heroes and villains from a variety ofResident Evilreleases, including Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong, Claire Redfield, and Jack Baker, before battling it out in a variety of PvP modes. While Capcom has experimented with several playable betas,ReVersehas struggled to find its footing and has faced several delays since these demos dropped.

With the new listing, it seems clear thatResident Evil ReVersehas not been canned, and that the development team is ready to take a new swing at selling the run ‘n’ gun release to the massiveResident Evilplayerbase. While the Mercenaries mode is undeniably popular among hardened players, it remains to be seen whether the idea of third-personResident Evil-based deathmatches will take hold of the survival horror community at large.
