In late 2020, Capcom was the victim of a ransomware attack that saw many of the company’s files leaked online, including a variety of video games that it has in development. One of the leaked video games is something calledResident Evil: Outrage, which is reportedly set to launch later this year. Fans were expecting to seeResident Evil: Outrageat Capcom’s E3 2021 event, but that came and went with no proper announcement for the rumored game.
ReputableResident Evilleaker AestheticGamer has since provided some more insight into whatResident Evil: Outragecould entail. According to AestheticGamer’s information,Resident Evil: Outragefeatures Rebecca Chambers as the main protagonist, and it will likely have a college university setting. The game is said to essentially beResident Evil: Revelations 3, and will likely launch as a timed-Switch exclusive.

AestheticGamer has since shared more details they’ve heard aboutResident Evil: Outrage, particularly when it comes toRebecca Chambers. According to their information, Rebecca is Asian now, whereas she was white in the otherResident Evilgames. Capcom has apparently used a Japanese model for Rebecca Chambers this time around. It’s unclear how fans will react to this, but Rebecca’s race has never been important to her character, so it’s unlikely to create that much of a stir.
This wouldn’t even be the first time that Rebecca Chambers' race has been swapped. In fact,Resident Evilstage play calledBiohazard: The Stagesaw Japanese actress Rin Asuka take on the role of Rebecca. And what’s more, there are numerous elements fromBiohazard: The Stagethat seem to line up with theResident Evil: Outrageleaks, including its supposed university setting.
Like with any other video game leak, fans should take this information with a grain of salt untilCapcomitself makes an announcement. SinceResident Evil: Outrageno-showed E3, it’s unclear when the game will be announced, but if it’s still eyeing at late 2021 release, then one has to imagine that the reveal will happen sooner rather than later. Then again, it’s always possible thatResident Evil: Outragehas been delayed, and if that’s the case, the reveal might have to wait until next year.
WhenResident Evil: Outrageis revealed, it will be interesting to see which leaks about the game turn out to be accurate and which were off. HopefullyResident Evilfansdon’t have to wait too much longer to find out more about the game.
Resident Evil: Outrageis rumored to be in development for the Nintendo Switch.
