Resident Evil Village is certainly one of the most anticipated game releases of 2021. In our recent community poll, the eight mainline Resident Evil game ranked fifth with 10% of the overall votes in the category.
A lot has been said about Lady Dimitrescu, one of the antagonists of Ethan Winters in the game. Her vampire-like appearance and powerset seems entirely new to Resident Evil, but in an interview published on the latest Playstation Official Magazine (March 2021, issue 185), CAPCOM Producer Peter Fabiano explained that everything in Resident Evil Village will ultimately fit the franchise lore.
Fabiano then went on to say that the team believes to be putting the finishing touches on what will be the ‘best survival horror game’ ever released with Resident Evil Village.
We don’t want to spoil too much of the story but what I can say is that the creatures all fit within the context of Resident Evil’s world. We can assure you that Resident Evil Village takes into account the overall world and history of the series.
Last but not least, Fabiano said Resident Evil Village has received significant inspiration from Resident Evil 4, the series’ installment with the highest critics score (96 on Metacritic).
This really helped to keep our vision on target. And since we are constantly sharing information across Resident Evil teams, that really helped inform us in making what we consider the best survival horror game to date.
Resident Evil Village is out on May 7th for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X.
