Let’s start with Resident Evil Village Gold Edition.
The first thing we want to share about Resident Evil Village Gold Edition is the demo version that will be available today. This trial version lets you try out 60 minutes of gameplay in the new third-person mode! (You can also play the demo in first-person mode.)
We hope that those of you who are new to Village as well as those who have already played the game will give this new experience a try. The game can also be switched between third-person and first-person perspectives, so we recommend comparing each perspective.
We also have some new third person mode screenshots.
Once you’re done trying out the demo, we hope you enjoy the rest of the game in the full version!
Next comes Shadows of Rose, a new storyline set 16 years after the main Resident Evil Village story. Featuring Rose, the daughter Ethan risked her life and physical integrity to save her throughout the events of the main game, this epilogue to the Winters’ family saga depicts Rose’s survival in the realm of consciousness. It is a world seemingly completely detached from reality.
Witness Rose’s personal growth and the final chapter of the Winters family story that began with the events of Resident Evil 7 biohazard.
For fans looking for a slightly more in-depth experience, the Resident Evil Village VR mode lets you enjoy the main Village campaign in VR for PlayStation VR2. For more information, please see Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia’s Mr. Akiyama’s message in Resident Evil Showcase.
Next up is Resident Evil RE:Verse, which will officially go live on October 28.
We’ve also released the latest trailer as part of today’s Showcase.
This game, which is included as a free bonus with Resident Evil Village, will be available in early access from October 24 to 26 and will allow you to experience the full game before its launch. To play online you will need to register a Capcom ID and link it to your PlayStation, so please register at here.
Post-launch updates for RE:Verse are also in the works. Members of Chris Redfield’s elite Hound Wolf unit and the terrifying Lycan will be added in a future update!
In total, Resident Evil Village Gold Edition and the Winters expansion will include three major content: Shadows of Rose, third-person mode, and The Mercenaries additional controls. The Gold Edition and the Winters expansion will be released on October 28, 2022.
Finally, Resident Evil 4 will be released on March 24, 2023!
Survival is just the beginning.
Resident Evil 4 preserves the essence of the original game while introducing modernized gameplay and offering a deeper and expanded story. The Resident Evil Showcase included 5 minutes of gameplay, additional commentary, and an all-new trailer.
What did you think of the latest gameplay video? State-of-the-art graphics have been used to create a game that is realistic and consistent with a modern gaming experience while keeping the essence of the original game intact.
In terms of gameplay action, we’ve added parry and a variety of other actions that Leon can per form with a knife, creating a deeper combat experience.
