The village is a dense network of small roads, gardens, backyards and households. They’re probably not heading to bingo…Ī variety of creative puzzles are scattered throughout the game. Capcom offers no explanation for the bell, who has rung it or what its ultimate purpose is. More echoes of Resident Evil 4: that scene ends with a nearby bell calling off the massing Lycans as well as their oversized, hammer-wielding pack leader. To shoot is to be overrun, yet you’ll never know when they may pounce.Īnd not content to rip and rend with tooth and claw, these bristling killers of muscle and fur can also carry weapons and – in the cutscene that closes out the village section – ride horses. Each growls and slowly shifts their position as Ethan passes. That information is paired with an unsettling image: lone Lycans hunched on the rooftops here and there around the village. Capcom explains these creatures mainly attack in packs, so it’s best to isolate and pick off one at a time. They’re the main threat to Ethan and others during our time in the village portion of the demo. The feral beasts that have snarled their way through the trailers to date have an official name: Lycans. And a surprising hint at, of all things, interfamily politics between the region’s ruling powers. A closer look at the new threats you’ll face. It shows how the franchise’s first-person strand’s mechanics are built upon in both new and series-familiar ways.

Within that was the announcement of a new demo for PS5 and PS4 players (with another on the way April 24). First was a new Showcase with fresh gameplay details (including confirmation that bonus game mode The Mercenaries was making a return). Four months ago, the publisher gave PS5 players a first-hand taste of one of the game’s locales and its ruthless inhabitants with the Maiden demo. Ever since its initial announcement last June, Capcom has slowly teased what those are. With the sweltering heat and horrors of the claustrophobic Baker family estate behind him, the snow-laden sprawl of an isolated village and its surrounding areas present new dangers and fresh mysteries for Ethan. Torn from a blissful family life by events beyond his control, the once settled husband and father now finds himself lost and alone in a remote region of Eastern Europe, driven by a single goal: find his kidnapped infant daughter. Launching May 7 on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Resident Evil Village thrusts RE 7’s everyman protagonist Ethan Winters into a new, horrifying scenario. We’re only a few weeks away from the return of Capcom’s survival horror series.
