In an interview on the Capcom Community Blog, Resident Evil 7 producer Masachika Kawata revealed that the game would not feature quick-time events in any capacity, before admitting that “I know there are a lot of people who will be relieved to hear that.”

This marks a departure for the QTE mechanic in the series, which showed up regularly in both Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6.

Also during the interview, Kawata tempered fan fears over whether Resident Evil 7 would stay true to the heritage of the franchise, stating that Capcom “haven’t just thrown out Resident Evil as it exists and turned it into a ghost story. It will all make sense in the end.”

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is set to launch for PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One on Jan. 24, 2017. The game will also be fully playable with PlayStation VR.
