Resident Evil Village continues to delight on Nintendo Switch with the Winters expansion, available now. This DLC introduces new features to the eighth installment in the acclaimed survival horror franchise, including third-person mode, more playable characters for the action-packed bonus mode The Mercenaries: Extra Missions, and an epilogue to the main story in Shadows of Rose”.
The Winters expansion and the “Resident Evil Village” Gold Edition, a bundle of base game and DLC, are also available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. In addition, the Winters expansion will also be released for the Mac at a later date.
The Winters expansion offers three new ways to enjoy the award-winning Resident Evil Village. The community-requested “third-person mode” allows players to experience Ethan Winter’s journey from a whole new angle, with an over-the-shoulder perspective and never-before-seen animations. In The Mercenary Extra Missions, Ethan will be joined by three new playable characters. Chris Redfield, Lord Heisenberg and Lady Dimitrescu battle it out with a unique arsenal of weapons and skills in this arcade-inspired mode, which now includes additional stages and game balance improvements. Shadows of Rose rounds out the expansion with a new story set 16 years after the events of the campaign. This scenario follows a now-adult Rose Winters as she searches for a cure for her unwanted powers. A twisted realm of consciousness awaits to be explored, and only Rose’s abilities can help her survive the nightmares that await.
A demo for Resident Evil Village is available through the Nintendo eShop. This streaming demo allows you to try the cloud version for a limited time to test your own network environment. After trying the demo, players can purchase the full game and expansion through the same app.
