Capcom’s Antoine Molant and Stuart Turner recently sat down with GamesIndustry.biz and discussed the marketing strategy for the game. Between the ongoing pandemic and this year being the franchise’s 25th anniversary, the release strategy has been a bit different. A greater focus has been put into improving both the gaming experience and sales performance.
“Our main ambition for this year is to make sure Resident Evil: Village will be the best-performing Resident Evil title, both in terms of quality as well as business” https://t.co/H3Cgz6opz7
