The focus of the Resident Evil Showcase will be the upcoming Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition and remake of Resident Evil 4. The announcement also states that there will be more, but whether this means more DLC announcements for Resident Evil Village or a new game announcement is currently unknown.

Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition, set to release later this month, will include the base game along with the upcoming Winters’ Expansion DLC, which brings to the game a third-person mode, The Mercenaries: Additional Orders, and the new Shadows of Rose expansion.

The remake for Resident Evil 4 will see improved visuals. Scant other details have been revealed about the upcoming remake, however, aside from the fact that it will be out on March 24 next year, and will be coming to PS4, PS5, and PC. While no statement regarding an Xbox release has been made, it will likely also come out on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

This update adds features like subtitle size, color and background toggles, closed captions, a display for the speaker’s name in Story Mode and a permanent reticle. How these options will work remains to be seen but there may be some new gameplay showcasing the same in the coming weeks. Colorblind modes sadly haven’t been confirmed so hopefully, those make it in before release.

Resident Evil Village – The Winters’ Expansion launches on October 28th for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Xbox One, and Google Stadia for $19.99. It’s included with the base game in Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition, out on the same day. For more details on Mercenaries: Additional Orders and its new playable characters, head here.

A free accessibility update for all Resident Evil Village users is coming alongside the Winters' Expansion and Gold Edition in October, adding:

– Subtitle size, color & background toggles
– Speaker name display in story mode
– Closed captions
– Permanent reticle

For starters, there’s Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose. This expansion is set 16 years after the events of the base game and sees you playing as Rose, Ethan’s daughter. It’s a completely third person experience that sees Rose traveling into the consciousness of the megamycete, where she’ll be fighting against not only creatures and monstrosities, but the environments themselves.

Other new content headed to the game will come in the form of Mercenaries: Additional Orders. This will add quite a bit to the Mercenaries mode, including new levels, as well as new playable characters such as Chris Redfield, Heisenberg, and yes, even Lady Dimitrescu. When you’re playing as Lady D, you’ll be eight feet tall and tower over your enemies.

Finally (and this is bound to intrigue series fans), Resident Evil Village is also adding a third person mode. The entire game will be playable in third person, with new animations designed for it- and yes, we finally get to properly see Ethan’s face.

All of this combined is part of a single package dubbed by Capcom as the Winters’ Expansion. It will launch on October 28, and the same day will also see the launch of Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition, which will include both the base game and the expansion content.

Finally, Resident Evil Re:Verse has also resurfaced at long last. The PvP multiplayer game will launch on October 28 as well, though Capcom has provided almost no new details on it.

Resident Evil Village is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia. The game has sold 6.1 million units to date, and is also currently in development for PlayStation VR2.
