    The game was developed internally by the production company Capcom. This latest chapter marks a new beginning for the Resident Evil saga, as it distances itself from previous episodes by introducing a first-person perspective and a game world that is decidedly closer to the cinematic works of Tobe Hooper than to those of George A. Romero, which were a clear source of inspiration in the past. It is also worth noting that Resident Evil 7: Biohazard can be played in VR and that as of July 2, 2024, the title will also be available on smartphones and iPhones.
