Fans can expect plenty moreResident Evil 8reveals in the months leading up to its 2021 release. As for when exactly the game will be available next year, AestheticGamer is of the mind thatResident Evil 8’s release dateis likely to be some time in January of 2021. Complications from the coronavirus pandemic could potentially see theRE8release date pushed back to February or March of 2021 instead, however.
Capcom itself has yet to make any official announcements about a more specificResident Evil 8release date, so fans should hold off on marking their calendars just yet. Even so, bothResident Evil 7and theResident Evil 2remake launched in January, so it’s not too outlandish of a launch window.
