The trailer does show off thethird-person perspective coming toResident Evil Villagein the Gold Edition and Shadows of Rose DLC. The third-person mode is a staple of manyResident Evilgames, but it proved tricky to implement inResident Evil Villageaccording to the game’s director. Alongside the new perspective, the Gold Edition will also bring some accessibility features previously unavailable in the game and of course the final act of the Winters' story in the Shadows of Rose DLC.
For anyone wanting a tease of theResident Evil 4remake, unfortunately they won’t find anything in Capcom’s recent teaser. However, with the promise that more information is coming soon, fans will likely get plenty of details on the upcoming game later this month.
