Although the issue reared its head earlier this year in the form of fake Far Cry 6\u00a0<\/em>beta invites<\/a>, it appears phishers are once again sending fake emails to players, this time alleging to be Capcom offering early-access previews for\u00a0Resident Evil Village<\/em><\/strong>. In accordance with the concerning scam, the Japanese company has issued a statement, warning users of worrying signs they should be on the lookout for when getting an email regarding the game.<\/p>\n

As reported by Twisted Voxel, Capcom’s statement warns players of emails that reference “Early Access Invitations,” telling them to look out for senders which sport the address “no-reply(at)capcom(dot)com.” If an email from the sender (or any other fake account posing as Capcom<\/a>) arrives in players’ inboxes, it’s a phishing scam that they should avoid, with the statement advising them to delete the message immediately.<\/p>\n

It’s especially important that fans are made aware of the scams considering Capcom have offered beta tests for\u00a0Resident Evil 8<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in the past,\u00a0<\/em>making the claims appear much less suspicious on paper. As mentioned prior, a similar scam occurred last year,\u00a0with “invitations” to a Far Cry 6\u00a0<\/em>beta being sent out to content creators. YouTuber TheRadBrad picked up on the scam and put out an alert to fellow influencers, warning them that the fake Ubisoft email recorded the player’s screen and watched them enter passwords and reveal other private information.<\/p>\n

Capcom\u00a0<\/em>has already struggled immensely with hackers in recent months, with sensitive data about the company’s\u00a0employees and projects\u00a0being leaked online<\/a>. Information about\u00a0Resident Evil Village\u00a0<\/em>followed suit earlier this year too, with gameplay segments from one of the title’s boss fights hitting the web alongside an array of cutscenes revealing crucial\u00a0story beats. The game is still on track to release later this May, seeing the series once again return to the first-person perspective first introduced in\u00a0Resident Evil 7.<\/em><\/p>\n

The plot of the game centers around returning protagonist Ethan Winters, who this time\u00a0becomes embroiled in an adventure to save his daughter after she’s kidnapped by series staple Chris Redfield<\/a>. It appears the former hero will this time take an antagonistic role, as Winters battles against vampires, werewolves, witches, and more to save his child. The sequel already looks to be a homage to\u00a0Resident Evil 4,\u00a0<\/em>bringing back its ominous village setting, tense inventory management, and recurring shopkeeper, who this time will be an NPC called the Duke.\u00a0Overall, it appears to be another potential hit for Capcom, which is currently enjoying one of the best runs of its entire career.<\/p>\n

Resident Evil Village\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on May 7.<\/p>\n
