We liked Resident Evil Village a whole lot, scoring it an 85% in our review. And obviously it's sold well, because Capcom announced in its E3 2021 presentation that DLC is on the way.

Well, "announced" is a strong word for how Capcom broke the news, which was with this plain text above on a black screen. Exciting stuff.

For now, the big focus for Resident Evil is the multiplayer shooter RE:Verse, which was originally meant to launch with Village but was delayed back in April. In its E3 presentation Capcom said Re:Verse is now due to arrive in July.

Wes has been covering games and hardware for more than 10 years, first at tech sites like The Wirecutter and Tested before joining the PC Gamer team in 2014. Wes plays a little bit of everything, but he'll always jump at the chance to cover emulation and Japanese games.

When he's not obsessively optimizing and re-optimizing a tangle of conveyor belts in Satisfactory (it's really becoming a problem), he's probably playing a 20-year-old Final Fantasy or some opaque ASCII roguelike. With a focus on writing and editing features, he seeks out personal stories and in-depth histories from the corners of PC gaming and its niche communities. 50% pizza by volume (deep dish, to be specific).
