Following Sony’s digital event earlier today, the gaming community finally saw the long-awaited reveal ofResident Evil 8,and fans of the series are incredibly excited, to say the least. Though, obviously the reveal trailer was extremely cryptic and did not give too much away in terms of the story. Not to mention a lack of gameplay footage. However, more and more theories regarding the game have been revealed via leaks and according to one reliable leaker, the antagonist ofResident Evil 8will be a familiar face.
Many details showcased in the trailer have aligned quite a lot with what has been previously leaked online. Most notably,the redesign of Chris Redfieldwas shown in the reveal trailer. Many people were irritated by Chris' design inResident Evil 7, so it would seem that Capcom listened to those complaints and brought back the original design.

With all of this being said, Aesthetic Gamer on Twitter, the person behind variousResident Evilleaks, has now dropped another leak regarding theantagonist ofResident Evil 8. Aesthetic Gamer has now said that the antagonist ofResident Evil 8will be Alex Wesker, who in turn will be aided by Daniel Fabron.
Alex Wesker and Daniel Fabron were both featured inResident Evil Resistanceand served as members of the original Umbrella Corporation. Now, in terms of how these two will serve as villains ofResident Evil 8, no one can really know for sure. However, it is possible that these two could be members ofthe Connections, the mysterious group that was featured at the end ofResident Evil 7.
In terms of how reliable of a source Aesthetic Gamer is, the user has successfully predicted many details officially featured inResident Evil 8, including the setting of the story, the redesign of Chris Redfield, and bringing backEthan Wintersas the playable protagonist. Thus, if their word is any guide, it does seem rather likely that these two characters will see a return inResident Evil 8. Though, to what capacity remains to be seen.
For what was shown off in the trailer and forhow muchResident Evil 8information has already been leaked, there is still so much information left unknown regarding this upcomingResident Eviltitle. So many different plot threads were woven during the course ofResident Evil 7and it seems rather hard to tell where the story will go from that point onward.
Resident Evil 8is set to launch in 2021.
