Additionally, according to rumors, Resident Evil Village will have more of a focus on exploration, which would mean more content in general as compared to RE 7.
The file size for Resident Evil Re:Verse has also been revealed on the Microsoft Store. Clocking in at approximately 15 GB, the multiplayer mode will be free to all purchasers of any edition of Resident Evil Village.
