America’s Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) has just outed several keys details of Resident Evil 7.
“This is a survival-horror game in which players assume the role of Ethan, a man searching for his missing wife in a derelict mansion,” its description reads.
“From a first-person perspective, players explore the environment and use pistols, shotguns, flamethrowers, explosives and chainsaws to kill mutant creatures. Combat is accompanied by realistic gunfire, screams of pain, and exaggerated blood-splatter effects.
“As players progress through the story, cutscenes can depict instances of gore and intense acts of violence: a character’s arm dismembered by a chainsaw; a man’s leg taken off at the knee with a shovel; a character impaled through the face with a shovel. Some areas also depict mutilated corpses with exposed organs/viscera. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” are heard in the dialogue.”
Spooky.
Resident Evil 7 heads to Windows PC, PS4 and Xbox One on 24 January.
