Resident Evil Village is a first-person survival horror game and the sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. The game maintains elements from previous Resident Evil games, with players having to scavenge environments for items and manage their resources. However, it adds more action-oriented gameplay, with higher enemy counts and a greater emphasis on combat.

Story

Years after the tragic events of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Ethan Winters has started over with his wife Mia, finally living in peace and putting the past behind them. However, the legendary Chris Redfield from previous Resident Evil games suddenly disrupts their life, throwing a devastated Ethan into a new and twisted nightmare in search of answers.

What is happening now

Resident Evil Village is a first-person shooter-adventure that launched in May 2021 across PC, console, and mobile platforms. The game follows Ethan Winters through a mysterious European village inhabited by supernatural threats, blending combat encounters with environmental puzzle-solving and resource management. Recent coverage has revisited the game's most memorable creature designs, particularly the controversial giant baby enemy that reportedly caused the game's director genuine distress during development. Meanwhile, datamined dialogue from the Resident Evil 4 Remake has surfaced unused merchant interactions that suggest the remake was originally planned to tie directly into Village's events and characters, indicating a deeper narrative connection between the two games than the final version ultimately delivered.
