Hello PlayStation fans, it’s great to speak with you again. I’m Kanda, the Capcom producer behind Resident Evil Village. Resident Evil Village VR mode was already announced in June 2022. Today I am happy to reveal that this additional mode will be released on February 22, 2023 as a free DLC for Resident Evil Village. You can download and play it immediately when you receive your PlayStation VR2.
The entire Village main story will be available on PlayStation VR2 in Resident Evil Village VR mode, allowing you to experience all the events Ethan Winters faces with the highest level of immersion as he sets out to save his kidnapped girl.
Making full use of PlayStation VR2, you will be completely immersed when playing Resident Evil Village with this DLC. Visually, the vivid 4K HDR (2000×2040 per eye) display graphics and eye tracking produce a heightened perception of reality as if everything you see is actually there. 3D audio enhances realism with audio from all angles, and your sense of touch is enhanced through PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers. With a controller in each hand, you can feel vibration, recoil, and resistance when interacting with objects in the world and firing weapons.
The Sense controllers also allow for intuitive movements like raising your arms to guard and holding your weapon in front of you to fire, and there are additional actions you can perform to increase your immersion. Hold two weapons independently, load a magazine into your handgun to reload, and wield your knife with slashing or stabbing attacks. It’s a truly engrossing experience that drops you right into the twisted world that Ethan Winters fights through.
Please note that Resident Evil Village or Resident Evil Village Gold Edition is required to play this free DLC, and the DLC must be downloaded separately. For anyone purchasing a PlayStation VR2 in February 2023, we hope you challenge yourself with this ultimate immersive survival horror experience!
