Resident Evil Village Launch Day!!!

Enter the Village

From Capcom, the creator of classics such as Street Fighter, Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry, comes the latest instalment in the Resident Evil franchise: Resident Evil Village.

Looking at the numbers, Resident Evil has a lot to boast about:

• 25 years
• 107 million units shipped.
• 8 main games
• Resident Evil Village (RE8) being available on 6 platforms

Based on the reviews thus far, Resident Evil does not need to be eating any humble pie- Link to review blog

So, what is all the fuss about?

Resident Evil Village carries on the story of the ever-unwilling protagonist, Ethan Winters. Ethan has set out to find his daughter Rosemary, who has been kidnapped by a former ally, Chris Redfield. Traversing through wide and varying landscapes, Ethan is forced to work his way through several haunting, yet visually stunning environments. Players will be familiar with The Village and The Castle environs, as these have been accessible via the Resident Evil Village Demos.

In the full game players will be introduced to new characters, each controlling a specific geographic area of the map.

Some particularly interesting characters to look out for are Donna Beneviento, Carl Heisenberg and Salvatore Moreau.

Powered by Capcom’s proprietary RE engine, fans of the survival horror franchise can expect ultra-realistic graphics, and thus ultra-intense gameplay too.

Prepare yourself before you start this one!

Available across the PlayStation and the Xbox family of consoles, Capcom has catered for all gamers. Access to Resident Evil is a simple affair. Offering a lenticular edition, a collector’s edition is also available (Check out our Collector’s Edition unboxing here). As always, these units sell out fast! So, if you are looking to get a collector’s edition, head on over to KOODOO to secure yours.

For fans of both the online multi-player and survival horror universes, Capcom has an anniversary treat for you! Free access to Re:Verse. Play as one of your most beloved (or despised) characters from the Resident Evil universe, get kills and rack up points to be crowned champion at the end of the round.

Now I am no psychologist, but when you are playing Resident Evil Village and you find that it all just gets a bit too intense, I think this video will help
