Culmination of the Resident Evil Series: New Screenshots, Art & Details of Capcom’s Resident Evil Village

New details appeared on the network Resident evil village from an American magazine GameInformerwho spoke with the developers from CapcomWe have written for you the main thing from the retelling Dusk golem

  • In Resident Evil Village, central protagonist Ethan Winters will pay much more attention than in the last part, where he actually acted as an extrawhile the main focus was on the Baker family, Mia and Chris.
  • The developers loved Ethan and decided to display it in a new way. for example, by writing down many different lines for him – the hero will share his own experiences about certain events
  • Chris Redfield in Resident Evil Village is shown to be a bit unusual. He plays a big role in the plot of “The Village”, but going through a real personal crisis – even more serious than in previous editions of Resident Evil.

  • The village itself, after which the Resident Evil Village is named, officially has no name… Thus, an aura of mystery appears around the place. Moreover, the reason for the namelessness of the settlement is this is one of the plot mysteries
  • Resident Evil Village will have a very large number of really open locations by the standards of the series… Players will be able to explore a wide variety of corners of the village – from narrow streets to wide squares. This approach greatly affected the overall design of the area.

  • Along with open-air locations, the Resident Evil Village team has also significantly changed the approach to the combat system. In the Village, Ethan has become much more agile, more weapons have appeared in his arsenal, and the environment has acquired additional interactive items that can decide the outcome of a particular battle. For example, in some locations, you can barricade windows and doors, and allow opponents to be pushed from roofs down to the ground

  • In order to fully reveal the combat mechanics of Resident Evil Village, the developers added werewolves to the project – these are scary half-humans, half-beasts with impressive intelligence, superhuman strength and tremendous speed… Werewolves move abruptly along the level, are able to jump onto roofs and move along walls. They also come in several types, and their behavior changes dynamically depending on a number of factors.

  • One of the episodes present in the game will force Ethan to fight werewolves in the tall grass on the field. It is virtually impossible to see them approaching until the last moment, so players will have to take a forced risk and let the monsters come as close as possible before there, how to counterattack.
  • In terms of visual aesthetics, the Resident Evil Village development team wanted to achieve polarity… The village, its architecture, local nature, Gothic buildings – all this in the game is done in a very attractive manner. However, the attractive images are deliberately overshadowed by creepy and repulsive elements (goat heads hang from the trees, dead horses lying on the street), which sets the necessary tone for the whole project.

  • Resident Evil Village is the culmination of the entire series in many ways… Creating this game, Capcom carefully analyzed the deep history of its franchise, trying to endow the novelty with the best qualities – conservative elements of the horror genre, side by side with a bright and dynamic action.
  • Resident Evil Village will also feature a lot of references for previous episodes of the series – fans will find both interesting plot details and open citation of classic Resident Evil episodes and scenes.
  • A deep system of upgrades will appear in the game. You can improve both Ethan’s characteristics (such as his health, defense and movement speed), which is done with the help of hunting (for pigs, chickens, horses; there is fishing, collecting eggs, etc.), and the indicators of your weapons, which is done through the purchase of items and paying for upgrades from a merchant. The merchant Duke also prepares food for Ethan to increase the characteristics – you need to bring the ingredients.

  • Capcom says Resident Evil Village will feature “the very best” riddles and puzzles in the franchise’s history.

Resident Evil Village is out on May 7, 2023.
