Capcom has announced that Resident Evil Re:Verse, the pack-in multiplayer game for Resident Evil Village, is shutting down this year on 29th June 2025.
All DLC for the game will be removed from sale on 3rd March.In the announcement, the team writes:Thank you for playing Resident Evil Re:Verse.This is to inform you that service will be ending for Resident Evil Re:Verse, which comes packaged with a purchase of Resident Evil Village for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or Steam.
The application and all of its related DLC will no longer be available for download or purchase.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.We are incredibly grateful for your warm support for Resident Evil Re:Verse, and we deeply apologize for bringing you this disappointing news.Resident Evil Re:Verse took the whole Resident Evil franchise, chucked it into a multiplayer game mode blender, and came out with a rather barmy blend of PvP multiplayer combat with Resi monsters in it.
There was plenty of head-scratching for what this really added to Village, when Resident Evil 3 had featured an asymmetrical multiplayer mode, and this was a more straight up head-to-head multiplayer game with power-ups to transform you into Resi baddies.Originally intended to launch right alongside RE Village in mid-2021, it was delayed a couple times until it finally launched in late 2022 alongside the Winters’ Expansion.
