The Resident Evil 7 release date may have been confirmed after Capcom has announced the HD remaster of the Resident Evil 1 remake and after Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was leaked online.

Cyberland has reported that Resident Evil 7 has been allegedly confirmed to be announced at PAX Prime along with the release date of leaked Resident Evil Revelations 2.

When Resident Evil 7 was rumoured a few years back, one of the most popular theories going on at the time was the return of Albert Wesker to face his son, Jake and that the protagonist of the story would be Claire Redfield.

The Wesker returns theory was "confirmed" when an alleged employee of Capcom tweeted about Wesker's voice actor going in to the studio to record lines for Wesker and that they are planning to add Alice from the Resident Evil movies to be a playable character in the Resident Evil 7 mercenaries mode.

It should be noted though that the English voice actor for Wesker, DC Douglas, has confirmed that he has not been contacted by Capcom to do voice over work for Wesker which suggests that it was the Japanese voice actor for Wesker that was contacted.

Cyberland also reported that an insider told them that Capcom is planning to go all out in Resident Evil 7's mercenaries mode as not only will they add Alice from the movies into the Mercenaries mode, they would put back almost all of the characters in the series into the mode such as Barry Burton, Carlos Oliveira, Rebecca Chambers, Billy Coen and more!

Cyberland also reported that the Resident Evil 7 release date is tentively set for Fall 2015.
