What Lurks In The Shadows With Resident Evil 7’s Aunt Rhody

Resident Evil 7

The final two teasers for Resident Evil 7 have been released and we get a new enemy for Resident Evil 7 & a new family member

The last two teasers for Resident Evil 7 have been released so we can wrap up this whole marketing campaign here for the game. Well at least this side of things as Capcom still has a few more things planned and ready for us in the coming months until January 24^th. Hells, even out of these new teasers we see that a new trailer of gameplay for Resident Evil 7 will be coming next month to hopefully show off a lot of the things still in question for the game. We all have them still and hopefully not all of them will be left out there until launch date.

Anyways, first up we have a trailer called “Shadow.” It looks like we have our first taste of a monster that isn’t some psycho swamp rat in Resident Evil 7. In fact, it looks to be something even more sinister in the long run as you can see in the headline image up there or in the following teaser. It looks like there is a lot of rotted flesh mixed together here with a lot of teeth and nightmare fuel. This really could be our first look at a B.O.W. in Resident Evil 7; or it could be a “boss form” of one of the Bakers we’ve already met. I’m hoping for the prior here but given the direction the game wants to go it is really anyone’s guess.

Next up we have a truly amazing look at the lighting and environmental effects that Capcom has put together for us in Resident Evil 7; as well as a new member of the family to say hello to. Here we have Aunt Rhody and while there doesn’t look like there is much to her just yet, you can hear the familiar song she is creepily humming/singing to add to the terror of the game. It really does show that Resident Evil 7 is aiming to go back to the horror roots of the franchise and away from the high-action we’ve been getting for a while. Now just to get the bravery up to play the whole thing in VR.

Now that they are all here, what do you think of the Resident Evil 7 teasers we’ve been presented with? Do you think that the “Shadow” is going to be a bio-weapon or just another form for the already set characters in the game? What role do you think that Aunt Rhody will be playing in the game here? Let us know what you are thinking and discuss in the comments below. As more on Resident Evil 7 pours out here, we will have it up for you.
