Inside Resident Evil Village

What it is

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.

The premise

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.
