'Resident Evil 7'' release date, news, rumors: Fans can expect two returning 'RE' characters in upcoming sequel
The upcoming survival horror video game from Capcom, "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard," will mark the return of the highly successful franchise in the horror genre after several installments. Featuring a new set of characters, conflicts, and gameplay contents, "Resident Evil 7" is expected to offer a thrilling ride for the fans. However, although the game features a new story, it is rumored that two classic characters from the previous "Resident Evil" installments will make their return via "Biohazard."
As reported by Game Spot, the latest trailer for "Resident Evil 7" is said to highlight a voice-over from a woman. The trailer did not show what the woman looks like, but the long-time fans of the "Resident Evil" series recognized the voice to be Ada Wong's. To recall, Ada Wong is a popular supporting character in several "Resident Evil" titles, acting as a double spy for both the Umbrella Corporation and other independent organizations.
Meanwhile, other fans also raised the idea that the woman in the recent trailer was actually Sheva Alomar, known to be Chris Redfield's partner and BSAA member in "Resident Evil 5." She played an important role in stopping the cunning TriCell group and Albert Wesker from spreading the Uroboros to the entire globe.
Capcom has continued to tease the fans with the regular release of trailers, with the last two trailer videos showing the new game mechanics of "Resident Evil 7." In total, the recent trailers are already the seventh and eighth trailers for the upcoming video game, containing more details about the much-awaited "Resident Evil" installment.
According to Game N Guide, the Volume 7 trailer titled "A Closer Look" shows that the players are allowed to zoom into different items in the game to examine them thoroughly. O the other hand, the Volume 8 trailer video called the "Imagination" shows that the players can now read the log of all the items they have acquired throughout the game.
"Resident Evil 7" is already the eighth entry in the "Resident Evil" series. Aside from bringing the franchise back to its horror roots, "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" will be the first to introduce a first person shooter scenario in the game.
