PS5 HOT FIVE
026Witches,
werewolves,
and vampires
in our
Resident Evil
universe? Oh
yes, we want it so badly. Resident
Evil Village is shaping up to be
one of PS5’s hottest games. It’s
embracing Resi VII’s first-person
mode and putting more emphasis
on horror, which means it’ll make
the most of the impressive
next-gen 3D audio tech.
“Audio is a key feature to really
push the next-gen experience with
PS5,” says Capcom’s Jun Takeuchi on
the PS Blog. “It’s almost as if 3D
Audiotech was made specifically
with horror games in mind. It used
to be that in order to get that
spatial audio, players would have to
invest a lot of their own time and
money. Now, just putting on a
headset, they can get a full 3D
audio experience.”02
