I would call my local store and ask if there’s a pick up available the day before. The stores in my area are no longer taking calls(Weird) but does anyone know if RE Village is going to be available for pick up today? 05/6/21

The special events page does not show an early release for Resident Evil Village

[Tereru]

Neither did every past game. Some did but I picked up FF7R, MK11, TLOU2, RE3 and more the day before. I would just call in and ask. I was hoping that someone who worked at a store would comment and let me know

Oddly enough most of the people who would answer the phone at the store woudl have no idea off the top of their heads.

They would go to this page

Hey, Tereru!

Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the Best Buy Forums! We are happy to have you here. It doesn't look like there is an early release for this title, according to our Video Game Release Dates & Events page. 

Best,

On a side note. I am on the fence about getting this game. I should download the free demo I suppose. 

Please come back with your opinion of hte game and leave some feedback. 

I was not overly impressed the last Resident Evil.  However, I am pretty sure it is becasue it was poorly ported over to Windows.

OH, I also keep a book mark to that page in my browser. 

Especially to see titles eligable for $10 rewards at a glance.

I am on the fence hearing other people’s review about it but I think people are just nitpicking. I played the demos and I had a great time with it. If you’re a fan of Resident Evil and you liked RE7 you’ll like this one. But I’ll definitely let you know how I like it

[bobberuchi]

@Tereru I am installing the demo right now and will give it a shot.

I wish more games would have demos. I would have saved a lot of money. 

[bobberuchi]

However, I will say. I used to get excited about game day release and early release but I have gotten to many games where the developer rushed it out and it was super buggy.  And patches come out weeks later

Hopefully that is why they delayed RE7.
