Resident Evil Village is set a few years after the horrifying events of Resident Evil 7 biohazard and continues the story of Ethan Winters. Larger-than-life heroes like series veteran Chris Redfield, along with imposing adversaries like Lady Dimitrescu, are just some of the enigmatic characters Ethan encounters in order to save his daughter. In addition to the story campaign, Resident Evil Village also welcomes back The Mercenaries game mode. This extra mode is available upon finishing the campaign and has new added features, giving players additional challenges and ways to enjoy the village once they complete Ethan’s journey.
