Multiplayer game of Resident Evil will be removed from digital stores!

A Capcom, at times, tried to bring its great IP to the multiplayer world, with bold attempts to make characters meet in a more casual way, with deathmatch matches and much more.

Unfortunately, Resident Evil: RE:Verse was not a great success, even though it brings several of the characters and villains to an arena. Now, the game will be removed from digital stores, with Capcom acknowledging that the game fulfilled part of its celebratory purpose for the franchise.

The publisher announced that its multiplayer shooter game Resident Evil Re:Verse, which allowed you to pit fan favorites like Jill Sandwich and Leon Kennedy against each other in iconic locations, will go offline on June 29 at 23:59 PT (which is June 30 at 02:59 ET, or 07:59 GMT). This means that you will not be able to play the game after that date, and any in-game items you spent real-world money on will simply disappear.

Resident Evil Re:Verse served as a competitive multiplayer shooter game to celebrate the milestone of a quarter century of the series, bringing together various characters, locations, and familiar monsters on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, and PS4. It was available as a standalone purchase and was bundled with Resident Evil Village, but you will not be able to purchase the game or any of its DLCs after March 3.

Once again, it is essentially being erased from existence and completely removed from the storefronts. All existing download codes will still work until the end of service, but new ones will not be included with Village from now on.

Capcom says the game was "developed in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil series, and its overwhelming support of the game far exceeded our expectations from the moment of its launch". According to the company, the game is only being canceled because "we have reached a new turning point for the series" and Re:Verse apparently "admirably fulfilled its original and celebratory purpose" - not because it has almost no players and fans who tried it left negative reviews on Steam.

To say that Resident Evil Re:Verse was not appreciated by most fans would be generous. The reaction was mostly apathetic. But those who dipped their toes into its blood-soaked maps complained about the lack of modes or significant content, dubious servers, and aggressive microtransactions. Seeing any game simply disappear is sad from a game preservation point of view, but it hurts even more in this case, as Capcom apparently is not refunding players for in-game purchases or allowing them to use purchased content to play offline, as is the case with the upcoming shutdown of MultiVersus.
