Sony Raises Eyebrows by Officially Hosting This Week’s Resident Evil Showcase

Fans may have been hoping for a different kind of showcase from PlayStation of late, but the platform holder has raised eyebrows by officially co-streaming the upcoming Resident Evil Showcase. It means that, in addition to debuting on Capcom’s channels, it’ll be simultaneously broadcast on Sony’s as well. This suggests there may potentially be additional goodies in store for PS5 and PS4 owners.

Obviously, it’s fairly clear Sony has marketing rights on the Resident Evil franchise, with Resident Evil 4’s remake announced at a recent State of Play and Resident Evil Village eventually coming to PSVR2. Some have pointed out that the last time a Resident Evil Showcase was posted on PlayStation’s official YouTube channel, the company had secured a timed exclusive demo for Village.

There may be more of that in store when Capcom’s latest horror tinged livestream debuts from 3PM PDT / 11PM BST on Thursday, 20th October. We’ll find out in less than 48 hours.
