Grizzly new Resident Evil 7: biohazard details have emerged following the upcoming survival horror sequel’s rating on the ESRB’s official website.
According to the ratings body, players will control a chap named Ethan in Capcom’s upcoming scare-’em-up title, who explores a spooky mansion setting while searching for his missing wife. You may recall that the recent Gamescom trailer depicted an unknown woman calling out for a man named Ethan, so there’s a chance this was the protagonist’s wife.
