Capcom said Resident Evil Village is receiving a series of major updates this year, including downloadable content (DLC) that continues the story, third-person mode and more characters to play in Mercenaries mode.
The news was announced during the Capcom Showcase last night (June 13) and the company shared more information in this blog post.
It is expected to launch on October 28, The Winters Expansion for Resident Evil Village will include three major updates.
The largest of these is Shadows Of Rose, an upcoming expansion that will take place 16 years after the history of Resident Evil Village. Shadows Of Rose will follow Rose Winters as she tries to get rid of her supernatural powers by exploring the consciousness of the Village Megamyceta to do so.
“Presented entirely in the third person, Rose’s special abilities will be needed to survive, even as she seeks to eradicate them,” Capcom said.
Speaking of third party, The Winters Expansion will also add an optional third party mode to the main campaign of Resident Evil Village. While the latest Resident Evil titles are first-person, older Resident Evil titles stick to the third person – which means that the upcoming update will allow players to experience the Village from an older perspective.
Finally, The Winters Expansion will also bring an update to the Village Mercenaries mode, in the form of “new stages, new characters and other improvements”. Capcom has already described in detail three of the upcoming characters: Chris Redfield, Heisenberg and Lady Dimitrescu will be able to play with “unique skills” when the update launches.
Earlier this month, a PSVR2 version of Resident Evil Village was announced, which Capcom says will be further developed “at a later date”.
In other news from the games, Bethesda announced that the main characters in Starfield will not be vocal.
