Resident Evil 7releases tomorrow, but an early day one patch release is launching to fix some minor bugs and reveal a few new trophies for players to hunt down.
Horror fans are just a few hours away from returning to one of gaming’s most iconic franchises with the launch ofResident Evil 7. The game makes some big changes with the introduction ofa first-person perspectiveandVR support, but the developers promise that at its heart the game will feel familiar to long-time fans of the franchise (the return of herbs should help with that). As shoppers prep to jump into the game early tomorrow AM, Capcom has released a modest day one patch forResident Evil 7.
Unlike many recent games with day one patches, theResident Evil 7patch doesn’t even break 1 GB. The game’s first patch released this morning for anyone with an early copy. The 806.2 MB update brings the game’s version up to 1.0.1 by patching some small bugs, making changes to notifications, and adding a few additional trophies.

And these are the new trophies:
The patch doesn’t bring anything very exciting to the table at the last minute, but that’s generally a good thing. This means that the game shipped out in working condition with a complete gameplay experience. Early reviews have been confirming that the game is a hit, so it’s no surprise thatCapcomonly needs to make a few minor tweaks to get the game ready for the masses tomorrow.
Ifthe demo was any indication,Resident Evil 7is going to be full of secrets and puzzles to unlock and explore, which will make for great trophy fodder. The game’s community tackled most of the puzzles in the demo at an incredible speed,including the dummy finger mystery, so we can expect the next few weeks to be full of puzzle explanations and rare trophy unlocks.
