If some of the rumours we've been hearing are true, then this year's E3 gaming expo is shaping up to be a corker.
Nintendo is planning to show off The Legend of Zelda, Sony is supposedly unveiling a new PS4 and by the sounds of things, Capcom is going to finally announce Resident Evil 7.
What to Read Next
That's according to the CEO of video game consultancy firm Kantan Games, who told Twitter followers to expect an announcement at the upcoming event.
Serkan Toto said: "About Resident Evil 7: Yes, it's in development. The entire game will go back to RE's horror roots and (essentially) be a clean slate."
Toto followed that up by saying that it would be shown at E3 and that the development team includes Jordan Amaro, whose previous credits include Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and PT.
If all this horror talk is true, then the involvement of somebody who worked on PT - the terrifying Silent Hills playable teaser - is cause for optimism.
Capcom recently told investors that it was planning a "full-scale" Resident Evil offensive for the second half of the fiscal year - which ends next March.
Considering it's the series' 20th anniversary and Resident Evil spinoff Umbrella Corps is coming out in June, a marketing offensive for the second half of the year must surely point to a sequel... right?
