Resident Evil Village is the eighth installment of the popular horror franchise. The developers decided to hide Roman VIII in the sub-title Village, keeping the continuity in the title, but pointing to the artistic development of the series.
The events of the game develop several years after the end of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Ethan Winters, the hero of the previous part, together with his wife Mia lives far away from civilization in some godforsaken village. Their life is going pretty well, until the peace is disturbed by Chris Redfield, and his actions start a series of events that involve a lot of people. In addition to Ethan, there will be other playable characters in the game. One of them will be Emily, a villager who is trying to find her father and at the same time help Ethan in his investigation of what is happening.
The new part of the series will feature unusual locations for the franchise. Part of the game will take place in open spaces: forests and mountains. Also the adventures in an ancient castle, the owner of which, a certain Count, may be the game’s villain, are expected.
Village is developed exclusively for the new generation of consoles on the improved Capcom RE Engine, which also runs Devil May Cry V, remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
