The game will also introduce new creatures, the allegedly confirmed are mythical creatures, information of Werewolves is unofficially confirmed by the outlet.
AestheticGamer also suggest that, Capcom was planning to announce the game at E3 2020, he claims that “later this month” Capcom will tease the game, followed by an announcement in the following months.
“I do not know precisely when the game will be revealed. I do know the original ideas was it was going to be revealed at this E3, but of course that’s not happening now. The later this month comment is something different than an official announcement” … “should be revealed within the next few months, it is first-person, and many purists are going to hate it because it’s taking some serious departures in the story/enemies and the like.”
