HORROR gaming staple Resident Evil is making a return and the latest outing is the most horrifying experience we've ever encountered - especially in VR.
Capcom are set to release the latest in the Resident Evil franchise next year, January 24, 2017.
Players must explore and survive the horrors within the mysterious, sprawling estate, where the new Resident Evil 7 is based, confirmed to be taking place in modern day setting and "revolving around a foreboding, derelict plantation mansion in rural America."
Capcom have also announced that Resident Evil 7 is set after the events of Resident Evil 6.
But this is a complete reboot for the series.
It's not a PlayStation exclusive, but you will be able to experience the game from start-to-finish in PlayStation VR.
And best of all, you can download a demo for the game, right now, on the PlayStation store.
Writing on the PlayStation blog, a Capcom representitive explained that the game is able to achieve "a shocking degree of visual fidelity thanks to the new proprietary in-house RE Engine that includes VR oriented tools."
The blog post then went on to say that last year’s VR tech demo “KITCHEN” was in fact built on this new engine as well.
"With the RE Engine plus industry leading audio and visual technologies, you experience every abhorrent detail up close and personal in Resident Evil 7."
"Of course, a horror story is only as frightening as its setting, and Resident Evil 7 pays tribute to the franchise’s origins on this front as well.
"Playing the game in the PlayStation VR Mode escalates the unsettling feeling of presence to a level that horror fans have never experienced.
"No Resident Evil you’ve ever survived could prepare you for this."
Having played the game at E3 in VR, we can confirm that it's as every bit as horrible to play, as it is to watch.
And we mean that in the most complimentary sense.
Having played multiple PlayStation VR games this week, this is the only one to make us feel sick. Though we put that down to the game being utterly naustiating and not the hardware.
Regardless, it's a fresh start and returns the Capcom series to it's roots in the most attrocious and horrifying way possible.
Download the demo, experience it for yourself and try not to wee a little bit exploring the house.
