Back in December, DualShockers covered a Famitsu interview with Capcom andResident Evil 3’s producers Peter J. Fabiano and Masao Kawada. The interview most notably revealed howResident Evil 3is more action-oriented.you may read about that in detail here.This week, a lengthier version of this interview waspublished online by Famitsu, with a few additional details onProject Resistance,the asymmetrical multiplayer game included in theREsident Evil 3 Remake.
We most notably learned that both games are actually completely unrelated.Project Resistanceis described as a “Festival Game”. The game isn’t meant to fit in the narrative of theResident Evilseries so far. It still has some characters in common so fans can make up fun theories, butyou shouldn’t think about it too much.
We also learned that while only one map was available in theProject Resistancedemo,the final game will include multiple maps.
Lastly, while we have no info regarding the non-Japanese versions of the game, in Japan,Project Resistancehas Cero D level of content, meaning it’ll be pretty tame in the gore department. And the game doesn’t get any gorier even for Japanese fans who will pick the Cero Z version ofResident Evil 3.
As a reminder, in Japan, games with the highest age rating, Cero Z/18+, get less store publicity as they can’t be sold without age confirmation. Unless it’s a huge franchise likeResident Evil,Japanese developers avoid getting that rating on their games at all costs, as well as the second-highest rating, CERO D/17+. As such,Resident Evilgames in Japan always have a Cero D version, and a Cero Z version. Moreover, games with heavy realistic gore such as theResident Evilseries are often censored, and for example, even the Cero Z version ofResident Evil 2ultimately was less gory than the non-Japanese versions.
Resident Evil 3 launcheson August 21, 2025, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.Digital preorders on PS4 include a nice PS4 theme.
