Resident Evil Re:Verse is shutting down in June
Capcom’s mainline Resident Evil titles have been for the most part highly praised across the board, with the publisher continuing to maintain this string of quality across its successive entries. That said, RE’s multiplayer spin-off titles have struggled in this regard – with their latest effort (Resident Evil Re:Verse) set to be shut down in just a few months’ time.
Making the announcement on their website, Capcom confirmed that Resident Evil Re:Verse will be officially shutting down in a couple months time, writing:
“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.”
From the 3rd of March, the game will be removed from digital storefronts, meaning no new players will be able to check Re:Verse out. Additionally, at the same time all of the game’s DLC will also be removed from online stores.
Finally, on the 29th of June, the service will officially fully shut down, with no one being able to play the game anymore, regardless of whether you previously added it to your library.
Speaking on this end-of-service, the team explained that “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.”
Whether this is the true reason for its closure or not, Resident Evil Re:Verse was far from the greatest RE experience, and so it reaching its end-of-life is not too surprising. Hopefully a more comprehensive multiplayer RE game is in the works.
