Fear Comes Home: A New Beginning for Survival Horror on PS4

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard marks a dramatic and terrifying return to the franchise's survival horror roots, shifting the action to an unnerving first-person perspective. Set in a derelict plantation in rural Louisiana, you play as Ethan Winters, searching for his missing wife, Mia. What you find is the horrific, isolated home of the Baker family, where macabre secrets and terrifying, relentless foes await.

Built from the ground up on the revolutionary RE Engine, this game delivers a chillingly realistic, photorealistic experience that intensifies the horror, making every creak and shadow a source of dread.

 First-Person Immersive Horror

• Intense Vulnerability: The move to the first-person view grounds the experience, making jump scares more impactful and close-quarters combat more visceral and desperate.

• RE Engine Realism: Capcom’s proprietary engine delivers hyper-realistic graphics and detailed environments, creating one of the most atmospheric and physically unsettling settings in gaming history.

 Survival is Key

• Classic RE Gameplay: The core pillars of the original series are restored: exploration, puzzle-solving, and inventory management. Resources are scarce, and every bullet counts.

• The Baker Threat: Unlike previous enemies, the central antagonists—Jack, Marguerite, and Lucas Baker—are virtually immortal. Encounters with them are tense, unpredictable boss fights that require strategy, not just firepower.

• Crafting and Inventory: Scavenge the rotting house for herbs, chemicals, and gunpowder to craft essential items and ammunition to stay alive.

 PlayStation VR Compatible (Optional)

• Ultimate Immersion: Experience the entire game in virtual reality with PlayStation VR compatibility (requires PS VR headset, sold separately). This feature delivers the single most terrifying and immersive way to play the game, fully placing you inside the horrors of the Baker home.

 A Grounded, Personal Story

• New Protagonist: Play as Ethan, a civilian with no combat training, making his encounters with the monstrous Baker family personal and deeply terrifying.

• Mystery and Lore: Uncover the dark history of the plantation and the true nature of the evil infecting the family, weaving a compelling narrative that connects to the wider Resident Evil universe.
