Overview of Resident Evil Re:Verse’s Closure
- Capcom has announced that Resident Evil Re:Verse will be officially shut down on June 29, 2025, marking just under three years post-launch.
- The game, along with its downloadable content (DLC), will be removed from all digital storefronts starting March 3, 2025.
- As a gesture to fans, Capcom continues to offer free copies of Re:Verse to players who purchase Resident Evil Village until the game’s delisting.
Capcom has confirmed that the multiplayer-focused game, Resident Evil Re:Verse, will cease operations in late June 2025. This decision comes less than three years after its release, which debuted in late October 2022 as part of the celebration for the franchise’s 25th anniversary.
Resident Evil Re:Verse Shutdown Details
Initially unveiled in January 2021, Re:Verse offered a live-service experience allowing up to six players to compete against each other. The game was priced at $29.99 but was available for free to anyone who purchased the Resident Evil Village title.
On February 5, 2025, Capcom announced the impending shutdown of Resident Evil Re:Verse, with its servers scheduled to go offline at 11:59 PM PDT on June 29, 2025. Prior to this, on March 3, at 9 PM PDT, all versions of the game and associated DLC will be removed from digital platforms.
Capcom’s Reflections on Re:Verse
In their official statement, Capcom indicated that Resident Evil Re:Verse was developed as a component of the franchise’s 25th-anniversary festivities, implying that a finite lifespan was always anticipated. The statement reflected on reaching a pivotal moment for the series and recognized the game for fulfilling its original celebratory role. The company expressed gratitude for its fanbase’s support while extending apologies for any disruptions caused by the upcoming shutdown.
Scheduled Timeline for Shutdown
- March 3, 2025 at 9 PM PDT: All editions of Resident Evil Re:Verse and its DLC will be removed from online stores.
- June 29, 2025 at 11:59 PM PDT: The final service closure for Resident Evil Re:Verse.
In an ongoing effort to reward players, Capcom is granting free copies of Re:Verse to anyone purchasing any version of Resident Evil Village until the titles are delisted in early March 2025. Players looking to redeem their complimentary codes will need to act before the March 3 deadline, as the live-service component will remain playable until the shutdown, but in-game purchases and additional content will no longer be available.
The closure of Resident Evil Re:Verse concludes a project that faced several challenges. Originally intended to commemorate the franchise’s anniversary in 2021, the game experienced delays before its eventual launch, which was met with considerable criticism. With a disappointing average rating of 38 on OpenCritic—alongside a “Weak”classification and “Mostly Negative”user reviews on Steam—the reception indicated that the game did not meet player expectations. Additionally, its performance earned a low 2.8-star rating on the Xbox Store, highlighting the uphill battle the title faced within the gaming community.
