Three major expansions will soon be available in Resident Evil Village as Capcom releases not only new story content, but also new ways to experience the game.
Below is a full rundown of everything included in the upcoming Winters' Expansion.
Players step into the shoes of an older Rose in the new Resident Evil Village expansion.
Shadows of Rose DLC
Picking up where the post-credits scene left off, the next chapter of Resident Evil Village follows Rose Winters, the daughter of base game protagonist Ethan Winters.
Completely in a third person perspective, this new sequel takes place inside Megamycete's mind. So it's safe to expect not only some otherworldly enemies, but some terrifying realms as Rose seeks to free herself from her mystical powers.
It is currently unclear how long this new chapter may last. Though it's safe to expect at least a few hours of fresh content if the previous DLC is any indication.
New playable "Mercenaries"
The returning arcade mode is back with a whole host of new content thanks to the Winters expansion. From more playable characters to bonus stages, there's a lot to enjoy here.
From Chris Redfield to the most beloved Lady Dimitrescu, you'll soon be able to play as many of Resident Evil's most iconic figures as possible.
Third person mode
If you're looking for a new way to enjoy the core Resident Evil Village experience, the addition of a third-person mode will be welcome news.
Similar to Resident Evil 4, players will soon be able to enjoy the full story from this new perspective over Ethan's shoulder.
Capcom confirms Resident Evil DLC will be free
Capcom has confirmed that the new Resident Evil Village expansion will be free. Capcom CEO Yoichi Egawa said in report:
“We will help our customer management understand gaming trends and user preferences, and build a business model for online operations. Considering the situation with our free add-on DLC for games like Monster Hunter Rise and Resident Evil Village."
This will be good news for Resident Evil Village fans. Those who played Resident Evil 7 will remember that the game's first major DLC pack, Not a Hero, was also free. It featured Chris Redfield's final confrontation with Lucas Baker and a much more intense approach than Ethan's adventure.
