Introduction to Resident Evil RE:Verse
Capcom’s Resident Evil RE:Verse is set to exit the gaming stage later this year, with the company confirming it’s ceasing all services by June 29. Launched in October 2022 alongside the Winters expansion of Resident Evil Village, this deathmatch spinoff allowed players to engage in competitive battles as iconic characters from the beloved horror franchise.
Game Overview and Feedback
With gameplay featuring notable characters such as Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong, and the infamous Nemesis, RE:Verse aimed to deliver a thrilling multiplayer experience.
