Originally scheduled for a Spring release, Resident Evil 7’s Not a Hero DLC has been delayed because it’s, as Producer Masachika Kawata and Director Koshi Nakanishi put it in a video update, not up to the standard set by Resident Evil 7, yet.

‘Our aim is for this content to match the high quality of the main game, so we need more development time in order to achieve that goal,’ Kawata said. Nakanishi added that they’re using this extra dev time ‘to create something our fans will love, so we hope you understand.’

Executive Producer Jun Takeuchi added that Capcom is currently working on further additional content, but that wasn’t mentioned to be free.

While very little is known about Not a Hero, we do know it will see Resident Evil stalwart Chris Redfield return to the fold, and despite delays, will remain at the initial price point of absolutely nothing. 

Which is nice.
