Capcom removes Denuvo from Resident Evil Village, Miranda be praised

Capcom has eliminated controversial anti-cheat Denuvo from now-iconic horror game Resident Evil Village, mirroring fellow Japanese titan, Sq. Enix.

In response to SteamDB, Denuvo was faraway from Resident Evil Village within the early hours of April 10. The change reads “Eliminated third-Occasion DRM – Denuvo Anti-tamper, 5 totally different PC inside a day machine activation restrict.”

Whereas this seems prefer it got here out of nowhere, Sq. Enix additionally removed Denuvo from hit RPG game Disco Elysium, in addition to Triangle Technique on Thursday, April 6. There’s no affirmation that the 2 are linked, however it could clarify Capcom’s decision.

Denuvo has actually earned fairly the fame through the years, usually being blamed for allegedly decreasing sport efficiency and, in flip, straight up ruining the participant expertise. Quite a lot of video games have eliminated the system post-release when the hype has died down, so given the age of Village, Disco Elysium, and Triangle Technique (that harm to kind), it could merely be keep away from efficiency points.

Whereas I fortunately had no issues with Village – besides that the entire Woman D sequence was too brief, however I digress – hopefully this implies future gamers can have a smoother expertise than some had at launch.

PCGamesN has reached out to Capcom for additional data, and can replace this text accordingly.

Whereas Resident Evil Village is probably not a should play anymore, our Resident Evil 4 remake review raves concerning the newest addition to the age-old sequence, so I recommend checking it out.
