While Ethan Winters the new face of resident Evil Series we still haven’t seen his actual face. And it doesn’t look like that will change if Resident Evil Village starts on May 7th.
2017 Resident Evil 7 Biohazard This was a dramatic change for Capcom’s long-running survival horror franchise. Rather than controlling the main character from a third person perspective, players jumped right into Ethan’s shoes via the first person gameplay. Resident Evil Village
In a way, it makes sense that we wouldn’t see much of Ethan in the gameplay trailers. Goods intended to Be After all, Ethan. That is the whole point in the first person perspective.

It’s more understandable than the others – Ethan’s face would be obscured with a telescopic sight, of course – but in context it’s just another example of the length Capcom will ensure we never see our protagonist closely.

Some people even thought he might be a clone of Chris Redfield or something ridiculous. Nowadays I’m glad it’s a running gag among the developers. No stupid storylines necessary.
