In line with other Japanese productions, Capcom has confirmed changes with respect to the European and United States version.
Resident Evil 8 Village will not be the same in all markets, something that is explained because in Japan certain scenes are prohibited in video games. It has been Capcom itself that has clarified the changes on a question and answer page, which can be consulted at this link, although it is in perfect Japanese. According to this information, there will be two versions in Japan, the ZERO Z for those over 18 years old and the ZERO D, with less violence, for those over 17 years old. The exact differences between the two are not specified, but what will differ from the US and European versions is specified.
Capcom’s new horror title will dispense with beheadings in the Japanese version. Characters will bleed less, as they will reduce the amount of blood. At the same time, they will remove the scenes that ZERO prohibits. The director of the video game said that Resident Evil Village will have truly terrifying sequences, so it will be necessary to see which exactly receive the caress of the scissors.
Capcom JP confirms that JP ver. of Village (Z & D) differ from the NA / EU ver. in the following ways:
– No decapitations
– Less blood shown
– No scenes that ZERO prohibitsNA / EU ver. have all the above. (Capcom doesn’t explain how JP Z & versions differ from each other) #REBHFun https://t.co/RYnmOg2QrG

May 7 on consoles and PC
This production will be ready on May 7 on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC. They will also launch a version for the previous generation of consoles, that is, Xbox One. In compatible, the Japanese company will work to offer ray tracing on AMD graphics cards. On the other hand, users of Sony’s next-generation console have the opportunity to try the Maiden demo, a kind of technical demo that shows some of the visual characteristics of the title.
Capcom has promised a second Resident Evil Village demo, which will be more focused on gameplay. At the moment it has not been specified when or on which platforms it will be available. What is known is that the game will be accompanied by Resident Evil Re: Verse, a multiplayer title that will be available for free to all those who purchase the game.
