CAPCOM has warned fans of the Resident Evil franchise to stay wary of scam mails. Resident Evil Village, the latest title of the franchise, is yet to get a launch date. However, with early access coming up soon, a lot of fraudulent emails are floating around.

It might make the day for a fan if they receive an email that says “Early Access” for their favorite title. However, CAPCOM has figured out that all such emails are phishing attempts by illegal third parties.

CAPCOM warned everybody about these scam mails with a note to the press.

“We’re sending this message as we’ve been made aware that there are currently emails circulating that pretend to contain “Early Access invitations” to Resident Evil Village. The sender address is being displayed as “no-reply(at)capcom(dot)com”.

We want to inform you that these messages are NOT from Capcom and appear to be phishing attempts by an unauthorized third party. If you have received such a message, please DO NOT download any files or reply, and delete the message immediately. If you are unsure of the authenticity of correspondence from Capcom, please contact us directly to verify.”

“The team grew quite attached to Ethan as a character, so we knew we wanted to continue his story arc. We wanted to continue to have players experience the game through the eyes of protagonist Ethan Winters. This is a continuation of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard after all.”

Peter believes that long time fans are in for a treat with the upcoming title.

“Since we are constantly sharing information across Resident Evil teams, that really helped inform us in making what we consider the best survival horror game to date.”
