Resident Evil Re:Verse, Capcom's deathmatch spinoff of its iconic horror series, will reverse its last roundhouse later this year, as the publisher has announced it's ceasing all service for the game in June.
Re:Verse originally launched in October 2022, coinciding with the release of Resident Evil Village's Winters expansion. It enabled six players to battle each other as notable characters from across the series, like Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong, Resident Evil 3's Nemesis, and Resident Evil 7's evil dad (which surely must exist as a Sam Raimi parody).
But the game will shut down a little over two years after launching. While service will formally end on June 29, the game and all its purchasable DLC will be removed from stores on March 3.
In astatement, Capcom explained its reasoning for shutting down Re:Verse, claiming it had done its duty. «Resident Evil Re:Verse was developed in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil series, and your overwhelming support for the game has far exceeded our expectations since the time of its release.
Now that we've reached a new turning point for the series, we feel that Resident Evil Re:Verse has served its original, celebratory purpose admirably.» Which all sounds very heartwarming.
