Capcom has announced it will be bringing a third-person mode to Resident Evil: Village, allowing players to enjoy the entirety of the title in a new standpoint. However, players will need to buy the new DLC to access it.

Announced at today’s Capcom showcase, Village will be receiving brand new DLC including a storyline expansion involving Rose Winters.

The switch to third-person will allow fans their first look at the elusive Ethan Winters, however he remains faceless thanks to always having his back turned to the camera. The third-person mode will be a welcome addition for fans of the entries prior to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. The fourth, fifth, and sixth, Revelations 1&2 as well as 2&3’s remakes made use of the same perspective.

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.
