What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

Nobody besides Polygon has reported this yet — we’re keeping an eye out for confirmation. Resident Evil came out in 1996 and never left: that's 30 years of turning up in every conversation about it. In the 30 days before this one, 54 other Resident Evil stories ran here.

Bottom line: Can’t call it yet — wait for more outlets to confirm before counting on it.
