The latest game in the Resident Evil series will reportedly feature Chris Redfield as something of an antagonist, supernatural enemies like witches and werewolves, and the gameplay should be from a first-person perspective like Resident Evil 7. There will still be some major differences between Resident Evil 8 and Resident Evil 4, however.
