Rumors Suggest Resident Evil Village May Be Coming to Xbox Game Pass

Ever since the release of Resident Evil 7 in 2017, the Resident Evil franchise has seen a return to the survival horror roots from the beginning of the series. The latest entry, Resident Evil Village, saw massive success for Capcom, with reports stating that over 5.7 million units had been sold less than a year after its release. 

DLC has also been rumored for months now, and another rumor claims that fans will be able to enjoy the game in another way.

Resident Evil Village received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and players for its gameplay and story. The original game’s success has led many fans to speculate about future DLC coming for the newest Resident Evil.

Capcom has made no official announcements on the future content for Village, but a recent update to the Polish Xbox Story suggests that Resident Evil Village may be added to the Game Pass roster soon.

XGP, a Polish gaming website, reported on Monday morning that the Resident Evil Village Xbox Store Page now had the Game Pass tag attached to the title with no official announcement from either Xbox or Capcom. 

The label has now been removed, and it was unclear whether its inclusion was an error or a sign of what may be happening to Resident Evil Village. It has left many fans to speculate that the popular survival horror game may arrive at Game Pass around the first anniversary of the game in May.

This is not the first time XGP has caught Microsoft adding the Xbox Game Pass label to a game too early. A similar error from the company was found last year when Mass Effect: Legendary Edition was wrongly given the Game Pass early before the service finally added the game weeks later.

Capcom has been very quiet regarding the future of Resident Evil Village, but the rumors and leaks show that there is much in store for the fans coming shortly. A Resident Evil 4 remake has been rumored to be in the works. 

This makes sense given the success of Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, and the developer has also recently announced next-gen updates for both of these titles and for Resident Evil 7. These upgrades will be free for fans who already own them. 

Possible future DLC and a Game Pass may be what the series needs to keep popularity brimming.
