Resident Evil Village, which was split into 3 million copies in just a few days, seems to be finding its audience and is confirming Capcom’s decision to go to the first person. However, Richard Raaphorst, a Dutch short film and advertising director, accuses Capcom of plagiarizing a monster he created for Frankenstein’s army

, published in 2013. On his LinkedIn accounthe explains:

In 2013 I made my film Frankenstein’s Army. It’s a bit of a crazy monster movie full of my own creatures, one of which has been used in the latest Resident Evil game without permission or approval.

. There are no jumping to conclusions, however, as nothing can be said that Capcom purposely recreated a similar creature in its game. We contacted Capcom to have an official answer on that matter and update the news accordingly.
