Capcom made a very strong showing at E3 with its announcement of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs. Gamers longing to play a hardcore horror game will be impressed with the latest installment in the Resident Evil series, as the developers packed in photorealistic visuals created with the new graphics engine.

Some scenes in Resident Evil 7 will be so scary that you’ll no doubt jump out of your chair: the atmosphere is so realistic and well-designed that you’ll be stuck between wanting to explore more and being too frightened to do so. PlayStation users, in particular, will get full VR support for a far more, disturbingly immersive experience.

Below is the trailer for the game:

The action takes place in modern-day rural America after the dramatic events of Resident Evil 6. In the Teaser: Beginning Hour demo, the player wakes up inside a dilapidated cottage on an ominous plantation mansion and starts exploring the interior in search of clues.

The atmosphere is tense and the graphics are very realistic as the game is powered by the RE Engine and offers high-quality audio effects. According to the press release, “Resident Evil 7 is poised to deliver a disturbingly realistic experience that will define the next era in horror entertainment.” Producer Masachika Kawat has specified that there are 120 developers who are currently working on the game. The game is slated for a January 24, 2017 release.
