Capcom has announced that it will convert "Resident Evil 7" into a game format and release it on PlayStation 4 at E3 in June. The report in Sankei Shinbum, a widely-circulated Japanese publication, however, does not mention anything about the game's release on Xbox One in early 2015.

However, though the report only mentioned the PlayStation, it does not refute an earlier report on German website XboxDynasty regarding an Xbox One release of the game. In fact, as far as mainstream reports are concerned, Japanese media generally only talk about PlayStation platforms.

In the past, "Resident Evil" games such as "Resident Evil 4" have generated huge a cult following, but the more recent releases like "Resident Evil 5," "Resident Evil 6," and "Operation Raccoon City" failed to generate much interest, despite spending lavishly on marketing.

Now, it is very much predictable that the studio has an entirely different plan for "Resident Evil 7."

Some years ago, when the studio announced the making of "Resident Evil 7," it was rumored that Albert Wesker would return to confront his son, Jake. In fact, a tweet by a reported Capcom employee seemed to confirm this. He talked about Wesker's voice actor visiting the studio to record for Wesker. He also added that the producers were contemplating to include Alice from the movie versions of "Resident Evil" to do the role of a mercenary in the game version.

Unfortunately, not much detail is available now and Capcom has not commented on the report concerning its flagship action horror franchise. However, considering that quite some time has elapsed since the launch of "Resident Evil 6", it is speculated that the Japanese developer is preparing to debut "Resident Evil 7" in a big way.
