With the release date of "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" set to be sometime in 2017, there have been a lot of updates about the upcoming sequel to the "Resident Evil" game franchise. After all, following its announcement back in E3 2016, there have been a lot of reports and trailers for the game, which includes "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard's" PlayStation VR capabilities.

According to Game Rant, right now Capcom has released two new trailers for the survival-horror title, which features the game's plethora of puzzles. The two new teasers are entitled "A Closer Look" and "Imagination," respectively.

The first trailer details how players can pick up and examine objects from the game's environment. The in-game items can be rotated in order to see more details, and depending on the item gamers find, it will be possible to interact with the objects in all sorts of ways.

The drawback for this feature, however, is that the game will not pause while interacting with the items, so it will leave the protagonist open for attacks from the game's zombie-like villains. Players must learn how to investigate items rapidly while staying aware of their surroundings.

As for the other trailer, it has some similarities with "A Closer Look" since it also features objects being rotated, but the difference is that the teaser is basically illustrating a possible puzzle that could be found within the game. 

The main protagonist of the game — Ethan — is controlled via a first-person perspective, according to Game N Guide. He will have access to various weapons such as the conventional pistols and shotguns to other equipment like explosives, flamethrowers, and chainsaws.

The enemies, based on what has been teased so far, will be mutants, but more updates will be given soon, so stay tuned for more news about "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard."
