Capcom kicked off its latest Resident Evil Showcase with a brand new showing of the upcoming Resident Evil Village: Winters’ Expansion. The expansion will bring three major new chunks of content to the game, each of which has received new details and gameplay footage.
The company started off with a new trailer, which first showcased the Third Person Mode for the base game, before moving on to Shadows of Rose, the new story episode which will conclude the Winters family saga. An interview with the developers followed, with new footage showcased for both, as well as The Mercenaries: Additional Orders, with more new details also being detailed.
Interestingly, Third Person Mode will continue to show first person cutscenes. During gameplay, if you try to tilt the camera around to see Ethan’s face, he will simply look away- so yes, he’s going to remain faceless until the end of time. A new sequence from Shadows of Rose is also shown off, which sees a miniaturized Rose surrounded by massive, terrifying dolls.
Capcom has also confirmed that a demo of the Third Person Mode will be available starting today.
Resident Evil Village: Winters’ Expansion will launch for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 28.
