Play as Lady Dimitrescu and more in Resident Evil: Village Mercenaries mode expansion

Capcom has confirmed it will be adding new playable characters to Resident Evil: Village Mercenaries Mode. The line-up of new characters are led by Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, the tall Vampire lady that dominated wavelengths ahead of the title’s 2021 release.

Dimtrescu will be joined by fellow boss Heisenberg, and series mainstay Chris Redfield in the Mercenaries: Additional Orders. The characters will come with new stages and other content, including a third-person mode and first storyline expansion.

Mercenaries Mode is an arcade-style game mode set in the locale of the central plotline, unlocking after the first time you complete the campaign.

Resident Evil: Village will get its 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.
