Resident Evil 7: 10 Rumours You Need To Know

2. Albert Wesker

CapcomCapcomWe may have seen an Uroboros-filled Albert Wesker demolished by a pair of RPGs at the end of the fifth Resident Evil title but this hasn€™t stopped hopeful rumours circulating that the seventh title will see a return of the most memorable antagonist of the series. Wesker€™s son Jake cropped up in RE6 as a money-motivated mercenary; a Star Wars-esque clash between father and son could be a very compelling story angle. These rumours are by no means just the hopefully wishes of misguided fans. An alleged Capcom employee tweeted that Wesker€™s voice actor was going into the studios to record lines for the upcoming game and since then the rumours about the return of the power-hungry villain have been incessant. Wesker€™s dabbling in Uroboros wouldn€™t even make his death at the end of the fifth game problematic €“ the potent virus could easily be able to bring the antagonist back. Alternatively, as discussed previously, this next Resident Evil title may well be a reboot or a prequel meaning that the return of Wesker wouldn€™t be implausible. It must be stated that the British voice actor who plays Wesker in the English version of the games has stated that he has not been contacted by Capcom so €“ if this rumour is indeed true €“ we must assume that the voice actor in question is the one who plays the Umbrella corporation's top-dog in the Japanese version of the games.
