Resident Evil: Village will get it’s first story expansion on the 28th of October. The DLC was announced by Capcom today at their Showcase.
The story will follow Rose, the main game protagonist Ethan Winters’ daughter. Going against the grain of the original title, the game will take place in third-person.
It was teased in the game’s post-credits scene, and now it is confirmed to be the case in Shadows of Rose, that Rose Winters is now a teenager. She spent the majority of the game as the primary objective being a baby born of Ethan and Mia, who we also met in Resident Evil 7. It was also teased that Ethan, who died in the main story, could be alive in the post-credits scene so fans can expect he may feature somewhere.
This is the first-time since RE6 that a chronological entry in the series will be third-person, with 7 and Village remaining first-person.

Netflix announced the project back in 2020, a television show with eight one-hour episodes. Then on May 12th, Netflix provided two teasers and a release date: July 12th, 2022. But it was only yesterday that they released the first full-length trailer of Resident Evil.
Supernatural showrunner Andrew Dabb is head writer for the series and remains enthusiastic about the project. He’s a long-time fan of Resident Evil and confirms that every previous video game entry is canon to the television show, including the recent RE Village.
“The games are our backstory. Everything that happens in the games exists in this world. That includes the latest entry[…] We may not get there until season 5, but it is in our world. As we’re moving ahead and talking about scripts for season 2, the village is a resource we can draw on.”

This suggests that the series intends on tackling each game’s setting by the release date. Perhaps there’ll be a season in rural Spain, the setting of RE4, that’ll coincide nicely with Capcom’s upcoming remaster of the original title.
