RE Engine's successor, the REX engine, is a response to three things - 1) RE Engine productions getting bigger in terms of assets, and more diverse in terms of genre, 2) RE Engine games being increasingly made by overseas developers who speak different languages, and 3) unflattering comparisons with various commercial tools, like Unreal Engine and Unity.

Resident Evil Village and Biohazard are coming to Nintendo Switch via the CloudSep 13, 2022 - VG247I'm very much a horror fanatic, but I'm simultaneously a cosy gamer through and through. That said, when the Nintendo Direct revealed that not one, not two, but four main instalments in the Resident Evil series would be coming to Nintendo Switch via the Cloud, I jumped for joy. Kicking things off is Resident Evil Village. The eighth and most recent instalment in the series will arrive on Switch as of October 28, with the Winter' Expansion DLC accompanying it on December 2. In addition to being able to get up close and personal with Lady Dimitrescu from your Switch, you'll also be able to spend some time with Jack Baker, Tyrant, and Nemesis from the comfort of your bed, sofa, or wherever you choose to play your Switch games. Resident Evil Biohazard, plus the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, all currently have Cloud versions in development with releases planned for later this year. Looks like a cosy Christmas with Chris Redfield for me!

First, Capcom released a free update for Resident Evils 2, 3 and 7 Biohazard which introduced ray tracing and higher framerates. Unfortunately, the update also broke every existing mod for those games, with no quick fix available. All's well that ends well, though. In response to "overwhelming community response", Capcom have made the previous versions of the games available again, so that those wishing to use mods can roll back if they wish.

Read more Resident Evil 7's Playerbase Has Dropped 90% After Launching 1 Month Ago on SteamMar 3, 2017 - GitHypAfter its first month on Steam, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard's playerbase has declined by a staggering 90% -- going from an average of 15k players per hour at launch all the way down to 1.5k players per hour on Tuesday. Similar to what we've seen with many other singleplayer games released on Steam, it turns out that most players haven't come back for seconds after their first encounter(s) with the Baker family or after finishing RE7's final act.
What's more troubling is that in an attempt to retain players, Capcom is offering a $29.99 season pass, which doesn't seem to be helping. Even with the first wave of new content coming out shortly after launch, the ‘Banned Footage’ DLC on Feb 21 barely had any impact on the player counts which have already dropped down to lower than they were before the new updates.

Player counts will likely fall even lower in the coming months, however, Capcom’s additional free “Not a Hero” content should bring a large amount of players back in May 2017. The free DLC was even teased after the credits of RE7 and (spoiler warning) features the return of fan-favorite Chris Redfield.
After shipping over 3 million copies and receiving very positive reviews on Steam, Resident Evil 7's launch could be considered a huge success that helped revive the struggling series. Surprisingly, Capcom's shareholders didn't see things the same way and the company’s stock fell right after the game's release.
Putting business and bias aside, there's no question that Resident Evil 7's launch has outperformed the past few entries in the franchise when simply looking at the player count numbers. As we originally reported, RE7's launch numbers doubled RE6's peak player counts from back in 2013. But even with 2x the players, RE7's debut on Steam still only managed to barely crack the top 20 coming in at #19 -- a peak which the player counts haven't come close to matching since then.Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Launches at #1 on Twitch and #19 on SteamJan 30, 2017 - GitHypAfter years of fans having to seek scares elsewhere, Capcom’s decision to finally return Resident Evil to its survival horror roots has helped revive the franchise.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard debuted this week at #19 on Steam with a peak of 20,338 players.
To put in comparison, Resident Evil 6 peaked at 11k players back in 2013 and the recent failed attempt at a multiplayer shooter, Umbrella Corps, debuted to a peak of only 419 players back in June… a number which has quickly dwindled down to only 4 players online right now.

Resident Evil 7's Player Per Hour Data via GitHyp[/caption]
While Resident Evil 7 doubling RE6’s numbers and cracking the top 20 on Steam is good news for Capcom, the launch numbers aren’t as impressive when comparing RE7 to last year’s most played new releases such as No Man's Sky (212k players), XCOM 2 (132k players), and Dark Souls III (129k players). When looking at all of 2016's highest player counts, RE7’s peak wouldn’t have been enough to even break Steam’s top 50 most played games.
Resident Evil 7's "Beginning Hour" free playable teaser on Steam also signaled that the game's launch might be on the lower side of new releases in 2017. The Beginning Hour demo peaked at 3,885 players in December and only averaged around 500 players per hour in the the weeks leading up to the full game's release.
On Twitch, RE7 had a much stronger debut at #1 with a peak of 215,561 viewers. However, the viewer counts have dropped off significantly to an average of only 20k viewers per hour where it’s close to already falling out of Twitch’s top 10. Compared to Twitch's most watched games of 2016, RE7 would have been #8 on the list, so it'll be interesting to see where the game ends up in 11 months at the end of the year.
[caption id="attachment_237576" align="aligncenter" width="770"]
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard's Viewer Per Hour Data via GitHyp[/caption]
Unlike the huge drop on Twitch, player counts have remained fairly close to Resident Evil 7’s launch day numbers with only a minor drop in its first week on Steam. After Week 1, RE7 is still managing to pull in an average daily low of 9k players and average daily high of 17k players.
To keep RE7's player counts from hemorrhaging, Capcom is promoting additional free content planned for Spring 2017 as teased after the credits of the game's campaign. There will also be 7 extra playable story episodes as part of the game’s season pass and PlayStation’s exclusive VR feature will be unlocking a year from now to give PC fans who can survive the wait another reason to return home.
