On the heels of amassive leak of Capcom data, more information about their upcoming titles continue to surface. Rumors are now beginning to circulate that what was previously referred to asResident Evil Outragein those documents may actually beResident Evil Revelations 3according to Capcom insiderDusk Golem. He then went even further to assert that the upcoming title will be the next majorResident Evilinstallment with the Nintendo Switch version being the primary focus. Although this version will not necessarily be an exclusive for Nintendo’s platform.Dusk Golem, who also previously revealed details aboutResident Evil Villagebefore its official announcement, addressed the rumors on theResetera forumsin response to remarks he tweeted. He claimed thatResident Evil Outrageis simply a code name or working title forResident Evil Revelations 3. Dusk then went on to claim that he received â100% confirmationâ thatRevelations 3will be heavily Switch-focused, but that it would not necessarily be an exclusive. Nintendoâs platform will likely be the primary release for the title which could more or less mean that a Switch version would be the first release with a multi-platform release happening shortly after.
Resident Evil Revelationswas initially released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2012 with PC and console ports coming shortly after. It followed Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield as they investigated a biological outbreak at sea and was set in betweenResident Evil 4and5. Itâs sequel,Revelations 2, followed in 2015 and took an episodic approach releasing weekly between February and March of that year. It marked the return of both Claire Redfield and Barry Burton as they find themselves stranded on a deserted island before the events ofResident Evil 6. Both of which have since been released on the Nintendo Switch. Where this new installment falls into the canon remains to be seen.
Rumors such as these should naturally be taken with a grain of salt until an official statement can be released. As of yet, Capcom has not spoken aboutResident Evil Revelation 3to confirm or deny its existence.
