Several images of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard preorder were leaked through Swedish retailer Discshop. These images reveal some of the items that players can use in the game. This preorder bonus unlocks difficult parts of the game and an item pack.

This well-known video game series was announced at Sony's E3 2016 and is all set to be launched on January 24,2017. Tim Turi, Social media specialist at Capcom gave details about the pre-order bonus and the Survival packs.  

Though the company officials were quite secretive about the pre-order bonus, it was unofficially leaked by Discshop, a Swedish retailer merchant. According to Discshop, Resident Evil 7 will have 4 survival packs along with Handgun set, Recovery set, Burner set and Chem fluid set. According to a report by Gamespot, old and classic items from the series such as green medical hub and red boxes of ammunition are also included.

If sources are to be believed, then a healing set might be present in Chem fluid set and probably flamethrower weapon and burner set can be jointly used.

The leaked images show coins placed along with each set. These coins are not similar to each other in terms of size and color. Some of the coins are silver others are copper or gold or bronze. The reason for these coins is yet to be revealed. Gamerant suggested that these coins might have a similar connection to Salesman (Resident Evil 4) who is also known as Merchant and with whom players can trade weapons.

Since its inception in 1996, Resident evil series are regarded the most successful game series ever. Having sold 61 million units worldwide, they are Capcom's biggest franchise in terms of sale. Resident evil: 4 has been the most successful game of the series, with these leaked images fans are hoping that the new edition will also be a success.

Capcom is yet to comment on the leaked images. For sure, these images have created a hype in the market and among the players. Let's see if the rumors are right or mere speculation.
