But what is Re:Verse? Good question - and hopefully one this beta test will answer in more detail. To date, we've simply seen the game shown briefly in some odd-looking gameplay footage, back at Capcom's January Resident Evil showcase event.

Village lands on 7th May, with access to Re:Verse included free.
