​

After being hit by a ransomware attack last week, stolen documents have begun to emerge from Capcom, detailing plans for future releases. While nothing is set in stone, a statement released on Capcom's website has confirmed that "development documents" were stolen as part of the recent attack, lending some possible credibility to the leaks. Some of the highlights include:

-Resident Evil 4 will be getting an Oculus-exclusive virtual reality release
-Resident Evil VIII: Village is aiming for an April 2021 release date, and will release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
-A new multiplayer Resident Evil codenamed "Project Highway" or "Village Online" that appears to be some sort of battle royale game.
-New Ace Attorney collection for Nintendo Switch and PS4, compiling the first three Ace Attorney games and localizations of the Dai Gyakuten Saiban ("The Great Ace Attorney") games. The Dai Gyakuten Saiban games were released in 2015 and 2017 and have been Japan-exclusive thus far. They focus on an ancestor of series protagonist Phoenix Wright and take place in Japan and Great Britain near the turn of the 20th century.
-A new IP codenamed "Guillotine" will be coming to the Switch as a timed exclusive in February, other platforms in May
-The source code for Devil May Cry 2 and The Umbrella Chronicles has leaked
-Google Stadia paid $10 million for Capcom to put Resident Evil VII: Biohazard and Village on the platform. Sony paid $5 million for the PSVR version, the timed exclusivity on DLC and the demo.

In their original ransom letter, Ragnar Locker claimed to have over 1TB of data belonging to Capcom. These leaks amount to only about 60GB, so it’s possible we’ll be seeing more leaks from Capcom in the near future.

Downloads for these files cannot be provided, though they are making their rounds across the internet, and have not been taken down from their original source yet.

What was found in the Capcom leak:
* DMC2 source code
* Umbrella chronicles source code
* Resident Evil 4 VR
* Ace Attorney collection for PS4(?) and Switch
* Monster Hunter Rise PC
* Details about more upcoming titles

Why should I care? There's no zombies running around irl.

There are people who ignore quarantine and run around mask less, at least you can kill the zombies.

 

[Issac]

I know the image is just a mockup, but I am really bugged by the CERO: A rating on the spine, and the CERO: B rating on the front

 

[Subtle Demise]

A few games also it was a supervirus and is a supervirus in the movies so who cares?

Are those games and movies coming to VR? No, just RE4, the one with the parasite.

 

[UltraSUPRA]

There are people who ignore quarantine and run around mask less, at least you can kill the zombies.

I'd argue that it's the sheep who act like zombies.

 

[AshuraZro]

It's a really a shame for information to come out in this manner. I know we all love hearing juicy details but hearing this stuff from a ransomware attack is ugly at best. It also feels really different seeing unused or early materials from way in a companies past versus future plans and documents.

 

[shaunj66]

RE4 in VR sounds amazing!

 

[Stealphie]

DGS 1 AND 2 IN ENGLISH (officially) LET'S FUCKING GOO

 

[diggeloid]

Oculus-exclusive

gross

 

[whateverg1012]

I guess this means capcom isn't paying the ransom then?

Monster Hunter Rise on PC though? That's cool, wonder if there will be cross platform save support.

 

[FAST6191]

I am not sure how VR Resident Evil 4 will work. Hopefully this gets the 2 remake team rather than the 3.

Stadia actually seem to be making a go of things as well... that was unexpected.

Also whoo leaks.

 

[Vila_]

Hyped for the phoenix wright remake, although a new game would’ve been cool...

 

[MiiJack]

How many times will they re-release the trilogy? Why can't they also bundle 4, 5 and 6? At least they added the great ace Attorney 1 and 2.

 

[Ryu Kenshin]

Well, now we can see Ashley pantsu in VR angle

 

[eriol33]

Great Ace Attorney doesn't seem going to be localized sorry to burst your excitement guys

 

[PatrickD85]

Another Resident Evil 4 edition ... wow.

 

[ShadowOne333]

Resident Evil 4 on VR?

...So basically Resident Evil Survivor 3?

 

[Julie_Pilgrim]

Fuck, now I’m out of excuses to not play ace attorney

 

[eyeliner]

I'm only interested in the source codes.
More companies should be like id in that manner.
And besides, from a developer standpoint, it's always nice to see how they work in the industry.

 

[nWo]

Man. Well, I can only hope for a ilegitimate port of the Umbrella Chronicles.

What will Capcom do in the next days?

 

[MikaDubbz]

Is anyone else just absolutely exhausted of exclusivity shit? I am seriously feeling a push to leave gaming altogether as it's becoming a challenge to be able to do anything.

Want your PC library on Steam? Well go fuck yourself
Want to have a PS5 but also wanted to know what you were paying for first? Well go fuck yourself
Want to pay the standard 60 dollar price point for video games? Well go fuck yourself
Want to play this new VR game on your 10k Valve Index without hackfucks? Well go fuck yourself

Yeah, but when it comes to VR, I truly don't give a shit what VR platforms the games are released to. I've played enough VR to know that I'm never gonna waste my money on actually buying any unit no matter who makes them, let alone the VR games.
