Resident Evil 7:The Experience comes to London
Posted by
To celebrate the release of Resident Evil™ 7: Biohazard on 24th January 2017, Capcom has announced the opening of an immersive experience in London taking place over four days, from the 20th – 23rd January.
Following a storyline inspired by the new game, Resident Evil 7: The Experience will be a 45-minute immersive experience drawing inspiration from the cult game’s return to its survival horror roots.
Set in a haunted and dilapidated venue in the heart of London’s East End, participants will take on the role of investigative journalist interns helping a paranormal TV production team investigate the disappearance of their crew members who never returned from the house.
Mirroring the unsettling nature of the game, participants will be faced with a web of puzzles and clues, including a few unexpected interruptions, as they work together to overcome both visible and unseen obstacles to figure out the truth, and escape unscathed.
Laura Skelly, PR Manager, Capcom comments, “For anyone who has ever wanted to enter the world of Resident Evil, now is your chance! We wanted to give fans a little glimpse into the Resident Evil 7: Biohazard gameplay, bringing it to life and allowing people to interact with the game in a brand-new way, and perhaps even having a chance encounter with some of the game’s characters. Playing on the idea of survival horror, we are really excited to see who will be able to escape the experience when it opens its doors to the public later this month.”
Game producer Masachika Kawata adds, “I’m extremely excited to see Resident Evil 7: Biohazard come to life through this Experience, and for participants to get a little taster of what is to come in the game.”
Resident Evil™ 7: The Experience will take place in London from 20th – 23rd January and will be free entry for members of the public on a strictly first-come basis. Participants will go through the experience in pairs, and will also be able to play a demo version of the game ahead of the full game launching on the 24th.
With numbers of tickets limited, those wishing to take part will need to visit the dedicated website to find out how to enter.
