About Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard marks a bold turning point for the long-running series, drawing on its roots while opening the door to a truly terrifying horror experience. The most dramatic change is the shift to a first-person viewpoint rendered in a photorealistic style, powered by Capcom's RE Engine. That perspective delivers an unprecedented level of immersion, bringing the horror up close and personal in a way earlier entries never could.

Set in modern-day rural America, the story unfolds after the dramatic events of Resident Evil 6, letting you experience the terror directly through the eyes of the protagonist. The game preserves the series' signature elements of exploration and tense atmosphere, the very qualities that helped coin the term survival horror some two decades earlier, so long-time fans will recognize its DNA even in this new form.

At the same time, a complete refresh of the underlying gameplay systems propels that survival horror experience to a new level. The combination of first-person immersion, a photorealistic engine, and reworked mechanics makes this a fresh course for the franchise. On PC, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard stands as an action-adventure horror entry built to unsettle players from the very first moment.
