Fans were disappointed to hear nothing about 'Resident Evil 7' this year at E3, but recently, Capcom has announced a release date for the anticipated title. Beyond that, fans will be excited to learn that the developers are planning some major changes to the series in this upcoming installment.

When the title was not mentioned at E3 (besides the fans wondering about it), some speculated that the developers of the game ran into some issues during its creation. Some said that finance was the root of the problem, and the reason for the silence surrounding the game's status. Only recently, have these rumors of crisis been dispersed as Capcom has announced a 2015 release date for the game.

Additionally, the company is looking to provide players with a better gaming experience this time around. With its seventh installment, fans are surely hoping to see some big things from the popular survival-horror game series.

Some of the changes rumored to be in the new title include the addition of new characters. Initially, some speculated that Alice would be making her way back into the game in this edition. However, this was promptly dismissed as it was cleared that a movie character would not be part of the new character lineup.

Rumor has it that three new characters will appear in 'Resident Evil 7'. It's said that two of them will be female, and the third will be male. As it stands, the upcoming Capcom title is looking at an October 2015 release date.
