Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil 8: Village will release on May 7, 2021. The game is compatible with PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and Capcom finally confirmed that the game is also compatible with PS4 and Xbox One. Resident Evil Village is the sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017). Resident Evil Village has an all-new narrative and will feature Resident Evil 7: Biohazard protagonist, Ethan Winters.
Resident Evil Village is set a few years after the incidents of its forerunner, and follows Ethan on a quest to search for answers. Answers to what, you may ask? Ethan, thinking everything is back to normal, decides to settle down with his wife, Mia. But as life was appearing too good to be true, fan-favorite Chris Redfield bombards their home and kidnaps their daughter. While Ethan is searching for his daughter, he finds himself in a sinister village.
The Resident Evil Village gameplay is very similar to Resident Evil 7, only featuring a brand new narrative and villains. Players will be up against terrifying enemies with their bare hands or the variety of weapons that are available to carry. This time there is a Duke to buy and sell supplies, weapons, and weapon upgrades. Also, solving puzzles will again be a method to progress in the game.
Players can look forward to encountering unsettling characters such as the nine-foot-tall Lady Dimitrescus, who inhabits a castle. Players can explore both the village location and the castle location, both of which were playable in the time limited demo.
