Capcom has finally removed Denuvo DRM from Resident Evil Village

/

After two years since Resident Evil Village launched, it looks like Capcom has suddenly removed Denuvo, the anti-piracy software on Steam’s PC version of the game. It’s a quiet removal, similar to how they handled their previous games with the software. 

The removal was first reported by Dark Side of Gaming, which is confirmed by Steamdb soon after. 

Why the sudden removal? No one knows but the removal is a welcome change even though it took them years after release. Hopefully, with this change, the performance of the PC version is far better before the software’s removal. 

This is a common practice for the company in their biggest titles on the PC platform. Resident Evil 2 remake, Resident Evil 3 remake, and even Monster Hunter World launched with the same anti-piracy software, giving some players issues. Denuvo was eventually removed from these games in the future.

The recently released Resident Evil 4 remake on PC also features Denuvo, and players are reporting issues due to the software. With regards to the latest remake, it’s doing fairly well and I too enjoyed this version as it was an easy 9/10 and is a must-play for any Resident Evil fan.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.

This will be music to the ears of kids who grew up on the series, but for the uninitiated, there’s nothing quite like the Mario & Luigi games. Mario & Luigi Brothership does its best to appeal to a wide range of players with charming presentation and a strong new Battle Plug system, but not everyone will be enamored with its reflex-testing gameplay.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review - A Nostalgic Return That Falls Flat

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
