Whoo doggy, I cannot begin to tell you how excited I was watching the announcement trailer for Resident Evil Village, an upcoming 2021 PlayStation 5 video game. For the majority of the trailer’s runtime, it was presented as a new, werewolf-centric title, with no mentioning of its context in the hit zombie survival horror franchise. The end title drop was, simply, Village. And then, thrillingly, the ‘VIII” of the word “Village” was highlighted, alongside the words Resident Evil. And it all clicked into place, causing me to knee-jerk chuck my wallet at my computer. Now, the cat’s out of the bag, and we’ve got a new Resident Evil Village trailer to look at. How does it play?
