Industry tipster Dusk Golem has claimed that the upcoming Resident Evil 8 will be the longest title to use the RE Engine to date, and that future instalments in the series are likely to follow that trend.
Resident Evil 8 To Be Longest RE Engine Game
Writing on Twitter in regards to the length of recent titles such as Resident Evil 3 remake, the insider revealed that RE8 should be a pretty meaty game.

However, if you’re worried about really short RE games, you don’t need to. Let’s just say I have an “inkling” about what RE games are in in dev right now, I’m only talking about RE8 right now but people know RE4 is also coming up at this point. RE8 will be the longest RE Engine game to date, & without saying too much the other stuff coming up should follow a similar trend.
Resident Evil 8 is scheduled for release on PS5, PC and Xbox Series X in 2021. The game takes place a few years after Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and reunites players with Ethan Winters, who brushers shoulders with Chris Redfield in a mysterious European village.
