Resident Evil Village will not be as long as Resident Evil 4 or Resident Evil 6, but fans will still not be disappointed by its length.
Speaking on Twitter, well-known Capcom leaker Dusk Golem revealed that the eighth main entry in the series will be like Resident Evil 5 in length. The next entry in the series is also more ambitious than Resident Evil VII: Biohazard, with Capcom working hard to make it a masterpiece.
(1/2) I think it will be, though to what extent I'm really curious. RE7's done extremely well for itself, sitting over 8 million copies now. RE8 is getting a lot more time to polish itself, is a more ambitious game, they're really gunning for it to be a "masterpiece", there is a https://t.co/hnkZ0Oed7z

Additionally, Dusk Golem noted how we might be getting a new Resident Evil Village trailer during The Game Awards later today. Resident Evil VII: Biohazard is part of the Game Awards Sale on Steam and something similar happened right before the Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 3 remake announcements
Here's a little hint: Capcom aligns sales with game announcements, they have for years. RE7 is part of the Game Awards Sale on Steam, and to note ONLY RE7 is, RE2 & RE3 are not. Basically confirms there will be a new RE8 trailer at TGA. pic.twitter.com/MGVyVXGk9e

(1/2) It's not a stretch. RE7 went on the deepest discount the week the PS5 event revealing RE8 was supposed to happen. When RE3 was announced, RE:2 went on its deepest sale, & when RE:3's media embargo lifted RE:2 (and only RE:2) went on sale too. RE:2 when it was announced, RE7 https://t.co/BTRLqGG8Y1

(2/2) was part of the E3 Sale. Literally Capcom alligns these sales with reveals regularly, if RE7 is part of the Game Awards sale, and specifically ONLY RE7 (this sale is for titles officially correlating to the TGAs in some way), then yes RE8 is there 100%.

Resident Evil Village is currently in development for PC and consoles. A final release date has yet to be confirmed outside of a generic 2021 release window.
Resident Evil Village, the eighth entry in the best-selling Resident Evil series. The all-new title is currently in development using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, which was used to create vivid gameplay experiences in hit titles such as Resident Evil 7 biohazard, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Devil May Cry 5. RE Engine paired with next-generation console technology will elevate the survival horror experience in Resident Evil Village to new heights, as the title will showcase the most realistic and terrifying graphics to date.
The first-person action in RE Village begins when players assume the role of a distraught and shattered Ethan as he seeks to uncover the mysterious new horrors that plague a once peaceful village. Throughout this terrifying journey, players will fight for every breath as they are hunted by vicious new enemies that have infested the snow-capped locale. Channeling the capabilities of next-generation consoles, the detailed realism and relentless feeling of fear will increase with each desperate battle for survival, while moments of calm will leave players wondering what new horrors await.
