There isn't a ton of information available about Capcom's next entry in their long-running survival horror series, Resident Evil. What is known for certain, however, is that Resident Evil 8 is certainly coming, and the question simply remains a matter of when we're going to see what it's all about.
It's been a somber but eventful week in the United States. On May 25th, 2020, George Floyd was killed after a Minneapolis officer held a knee on his neck for about 9 minutes despite consistent pleas to allow him to breath.

Still, within a 12-month period, most gamers are sure to receive at least a handful of titles they'll enjoy, making the service well worth the price of admission.
