A Resident Evil Game Permanently Closing

Resident Evil Re:Verse is nearing its end, with Capcom setting the closure date for June 29, roughly two and a half years since the game’s debut. This announcement marks the final chapter for Re:Verse as it and its DLC will disappear from online stores after March 3. During this transition, Capcom is still offering free copies of Re:Verse to those purchasing Resident Evil Village.

Capcom’s live-service entry, Resident Evil Re:Verse, first introduced back in January 2021, was designed as a multiplayer shooter supporting two to six players. Released in late October 2022 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, it launched at $29.99 but was freely available to purchasers of Resident Evil Village.

On February 5, Capcom revealed plans to bid farewell to Re:Verse, with servers shutting down on June 29 at 11:59 PM PDT. The title and its DLC content will be removed from digital stores by March 3 at 9 PM PDT. In its statement, Capcom explained that Re:Verse was an initiative to celebrate the Resident Evil franchise’s 25th anniversary, implying it wasn’t meant to last forever. "As we steer towards a new era for the series, we’re proud of how Re:Verse has marked this milestone," shared Capcom, also expressing gratitude to its community and addressing any inconvenience due to the impending closure.

Resident Evil Re:Verse Shutdown Timeline

• March 3, 2025, at 9 PM PDT: Removal from digital stores
• June 29, 2025, at 11:59 PM PDT: Service ends

Even as the window closes on Re:Verse, Capcom remains committed to offering complimentary copies with Resident Evil Village purchases until its store removal. March 3 forms the last opportunity for Village owners to claim their free version of Re:Verse. Although players can access the game for a few more months post-March, no additional in-game purchases, including cosmetics and RP Booster packs or the Premium Pass priced at $9.99, will be available.

In reflecting on Re:Verse’s journey, it experienced multiple delays from its original 2021 target tied to the anniversary of the series. When it eventually launched, it was met with less-than-enthusiastic responses, marked by its "Weak" rating on OpenCritic, with an average score of 38. User reviews on Steam echoed similar sentiments with "Mostly Negative" feedback alongside a 2.8-star rating on the Xbox Store.

The confirmed termination of Re:Verse represents the end of a turbulent path that never quite aligned with its celebratory ambition, as underscored by its challenging reception in the gaming community.
