Sony hopes you wet yourself with fear from Resident Evil VII in VR
Watch Next

VR might be the next evolution in gaming, but it's also the next evolution in getting scared sh*tless. And a new Resident Evil game hopes to lead the charge.

The seventh numbered title for the old franchise seems to be going back to its horror roots, full of creaky floors, barely-lit rooms and large things that go bump in the night. Of course, this will all be far, far worse in VR.

The trailer gives a Jan. 24, 2017 release date, and many a happy Sony fan will probably have some trouble going to sleep tonight.

I have done neat stuff all over these United States from sailing lessons on the Puget Sound to motorcycle maintenance on the backroads of upstate New York. My professional experience extends from newspaper reporting in the mountains of Eastern Oregon to fixing espresso machines throughout Kentucky. I also have kept a cat alive for 10 years.
