It appears Capcom is only planning to release Resident Evil Village on next-generation hardware. Apparently, the reason for such a decision is nestled within the company?s various ambitions for the new mainline entry. A bigger focus on exploration in Resident Evil Village reportedly left current-gen versions riddled with pop-ins, load times, and other visual issues.
Word on the matter comes by way of Twitter user AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem, an industry insider who correctly leaked a few details about RE Village. According Dusk Golem, the new title was indeed previously built with a cross-gen launch in mind. However, ?the way RE8 was designed [led] to past-gen consoles having a lot of pop-in/long texture loads/load times, because the game has you traveling through most of the Village and had a lot of load zones.?
