Capcom has officially confirmed that the dummy finger in Resident Evil 7’s demo has no use. For weeks fans have been scratching their heads about the significance of the item, and now the mystery is solved…Or is it?
In an email sent to fans who joined the series’ Ambassador Program, Capcom posted an image that teases the possibility of using the finger in the future. It reads, “The path is closed, but patience.” Whether the finger will play a role in the full game or an update to the demo remains unclear.
Although members of the Ambassador Program have received the news, Capcom still plans to make an official announcement to the public about the demo’s dummy finger. Along with the teaser Capcom reports that, “The RE7 teaser demo has been downloaded over 2 million times!”
Resident 7 was officially revealed during PlayStation’s press conference at E3. The upcoming installment appears to be shaking things up with its first-person perspective gameplay, a new feature to the main series.
The game is scheduled to launch January 24th, 2017 on Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 4, and support the use of PlayStation VR.
