"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" has received lots of praises and good reviews since its launch in January 2017. However, fans are still waiting for the release of a free DLC.
"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" is one of the major games that forms part of the Microsoft's Play Anywhere strategy which allows players to buy a game for Xbox One and play it on other platforms.
According to PC Advisor, Capcom issued a statement confirming the release of some downloadable content for "Resident Evil 7." The first two releases are out now on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. "Banned Footage Vol. 1 was launched on 31 January 2017 on PS4. It includes three main components; a locked room puzzle called the 'Bedroom,' a wave-based survival mode called the 'Nightmare,' and a more challenging game mode called 'Ethan Must Die.'
This reportedly costs £7.99 in the United Kingdom. Gamers can purchase all these three pieces of paid DLC through the season pass package. It reportedly costs £24.99 if brought from the PlayStation shop.
Fortunately, if gamers are looking for a free DLC, there is one titled 'Not A Hero.' It was reportedly due in Spring 2017, but Capcom announced that it would be delayed. As of now, no release date has been disclosed.
Right after the game was revealed at the 2017 Electronic Entertainment Expo, Sony released a demo named Resident Evil 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour for PS4 users. The demo includes other places and puzzles to explore. The demo has since been made available for PC and the PS VR headset.
Meanwhile, Polygon reported that the latest update for "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" would be delayed and may not be released by the end of this quarter. As Director Koshi Nakanishi said:
"However, in light of the incredible reception to the release of Resident Evil 7, we concluded that this DLC was not good enough to meet those high expectations," the game's director Koshi Nakanishi said. "Our aim for this content is to match the high quality of the main game, so we need more development time."
"Resident Evil 7" would reportedly enhance its first-person view to make the game more thrilling and engaging. The developers are said to be doing their best to treat the game as a B-rank horror game rather than a triple-A game.
