Capcom's upcoming "Resident Evil 7" continues to get fans hyped with its recently released teaser videos that shows what gamers can expect once the title gets released in 2017.

"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" is the latest installment in Capcom's survival horror video game franchise, and its recently released demo suggests that the game possesses familiar features that were also present in the previous entries into the "Resident Evil" series.

The latest "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" teaser demo shows the character reaching for what seems to be a green herb, a familiar object that has been used in previous versions of the game to restore a character's health. However, there is a slight difference as to how the herb is applied to the character's wounds.

In the previous versions within the "Resident Evil" franchise, the healing material concocted from the green herb was sprayed onto the character's wound or changed into a tablet form once combined .

For "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard," instead of spraying the green herb extract to heal the character's injury, a bottle will be used instead to pour the green herb extract directly onto the character's wound.

The teaser also shows a new health monitoring technology that indicates the character's current health status in the form of a watch.

The upcoming "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" will not yet be released until the first month of 2017, which means fans still have time to tune their PCs to the game's required settings if the wish to play the game. The minimum PC requirements for "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" will include a Windows operating system not lower than the Windows 7 version. The PC should also be running on a 64-bit OS.

To smoothly play the game, PC users should also equip their PCs with either an Intel Core i5-4460, 2.70GHz, AMD FX-6300 or better. User's will also need 8 GB of RAM to successfully run the game along with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R7 260x graphics card that supports the 11th version of DirectX.

"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" will be released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on January 24, 2017.
