Resident Evil Village is far from over, and Capcom's panel at Tokyo Game Show 2022 today seems to have highlighted that point. The developers have revealed what will happen in the near future for the game, and the changes look fantastic right from the start.
The game will soon be available on more platforms, including MacBook and Nintendo Switch. Significant updates are also coming to the popular game mode Mercenaries. Finally, there's some core content on the way for fans in the form of the Resident Evil Village Gold Edition.
The Gold Edition will contain the base game along with some exciting additions and updates. Players who purchase the Resident Evil Gold Edition will receive all of these changes. Fans will have to wait until October 28, 2022 to get their hands on all the expansions.
Resident Evil Village Gold Edition features cosmetic and gameplay additions sure to please fans
Not only is there new content, but Capcom seems to have fulfilled a big fan request. Resident Evil Village was a great success, with over 6,5 million copies sold according to Capcom. However, the developers are focused on further improving the game and providing more space for their fans to enjoy.
The first major change is the ability for players to play in third-person mode, which is a staple of older games. The iconic franchise has made a significant contribution to the third-person action horror genre. While Capcom seems to have changed since then, they are once again providing players with the opportunity to return to their roots.
Players can further enhance this third-person Resident Evil Village experience with the latest Shadows of Rose story expansion. The upcoming campaign will be based on Rose and will take players on a perilous journey.
According to the developers, one bite on these missions can be fatal for them. However, Rose is not without special abilities that she needs to learn to control. In the face of adversity, this will be her greatest asset as she will be able to freeze and destroy enemies.
The Mercenaries mode has been quite popular with the community and is getting even better in Resident Evil Village. There will now be more missions and new characters, including Lady Dimitrescu, Lord Heisenberg and more.
It will be even more accessible as Capcom brings Resident Evil 4 to MacBook devices. A cloud version will also be released for Nintendo Switch, with a demo scheduled for release soon. Resident Evil 1, 2, and 3 will also get a similar treatment, which is great news for Nintendo Switch users. It remains to be seen how fans will react to the latest additions and changes to the game.
