Capcom recommends that players go ahead and redeem their codes for Resident Evil Re:Verse to ensure they will have access at the planned launch next year. Resident Evil Re:Verse is a six-player deathmatch spin on the series, with players facing off as iconic characters like Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine.
Resident Evil Village has sold over 4.5 million copies so far, with its critical and commercial success seeing the announcement of upcoming DLC being developed, though there aren't any details for what the DLC will entail so far.
