Capcom is due to host the RE Showcase later today, giving players the first look at the gameplay for the upcoming Resident Evil 8.
It is also expected that more announcements and news will be made, possibly about the rumoured RE4 Remake, as well as the upcoming movies and manga.
Resident Evil 8 Multiplayer Leaked
Ahead of the RE Showcase, it was reported that a change had been made to the Steam store page, adding the multiplayer tag.
Now it seems that Humble Bundle have one-upped Steam and just leaked the multiplayer aspect of the game.
Like Resident Evil Resistance and RE3, the multiplayer game will come bundled with Resident Evil 8.
The title of this new multiplayer game is Resident Evil Re:Verse.
Wario 64 leaked the information, along with the logo for the new game.

Just as they are building their new life together, tragedy befalls them once again.
This pack includes the following content:
Resident Evil Village

Pre-order bonuses:
Mr. Raccoon Weapon Charm

The official website for the game was also revealed as www.residentevil.com/reverse, however, this website isn't active at the time of writing.
It will likely go live once the showcase event has finished later tonight.

It is quite difficult to figure out what sort of game Re:Verse could be, it doesn't look styled in the usual way we'd expect.
Beta
Starting on January 28th, there will be a new beta for Resident Evil Re:Verse.
At the time of the email, Capcom were calling it an unannounced multiplayer Resident Evil game, but now we know it will be Re:Verse.
