Resident Evil Village Torrent has been in development for approximately three years before its announcement in June 2020. CAPCOM asked the Resident Evil team to begin development on August 8, 2016, while Resident Evil 7 was still about half a year away from release, according to the director. Morimasa Sato. Without having RE7’s release to judge its success, the team stuck to the initial designs around the survival horror gameplay roots that were in Resident Evil 4 (RE4) and had been a return to form in RE7. During this early period, they created the concept of the village as a central theme, inspired by RE4, where your village was also a central location, in addition to many of the gameplay mechanics established by the title.
