Capcom Officially Shuts Down Resident Evil Re:Verse

This multiplayer game was originally released as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the Resident Evil series and was given for free to buyers of Resident Evil Village. However, from the start, Re:Verse faced various issues, ranging from release delays to criticism of its gameplay quality.

Low Player Count

At launch, Resident Evil Re:Verse peaked at around 2,080–2,115 players on Steam. One of the main reasons behind the shutdown of Resident Evil Re:Verse is the very low player count; the game even reached a point where there were only about 100 active players simultaneously on Steam. This is certainly far from Capcom’s expectations for a multiplayer game based on a major franchise like Resident Evil.

A Difficult Journey

Since its announcement, Resident Evil Re:Verse has encountered several hurdles. The game was delayed multiple times and finally released in October 2022. However, after release, player enthusiasm did not last long. Many players complained about uninteresting gameplay, limited maps, and lack of variety in game modes.

Official Shutdown

Capcom announced that the Resident Evil Re:Verse servers will officially shut down on June 29, 2024. After this date, players will no longer be able to access the game. Capcom has also stopped selling additional content and there will be no further updates for the game.

With the closure of Resident Evil Re:Verse, Capcom will likely focus more on developing other more successful Resident Evil projects, both in single-player and multiplayer. Meanwhile, fans hope Capcom can deliver a better multiplayer experience in the future.
