Resident Evil Village Winters’ Expansion Includes Shadows of Rose Story DLC

Capcom has finally revealed Shadows of Rose – Resident Evil Village’s long-awaited story DLC. The new story will follow Ethan Winter’s daughter Rose and will serve as a sequel of sorts to the main campaign. Unlike the main game, Shadows of Rose will take place from a third-person perspective and will see Rose entering the “consciousness of the Megamycete,” a place where “time and space are warped beyond recognition.”

The Shadows of Rose story DLC will be released on October 28, 2022, as part of the Winters’ Expansion DLC.

Resident Evil Village’s Mercenaries Mode Will Soon Let You Play as Lady Dimitrescu

Resident Evil Village’s Winters’ Expansion will also add The Mercenaries: Additional Orders which, among other things, will let players finally play as Lady Alcina Dimitrescu. Chris Redfield and Karl Heisenberg will also be joining Mercenaries and each will play in their own unique way. I mean, Lady Dimitrescu is over nine-feet tall, so I guess that makes sense!

The Mercenaries: Additional Orders will be released on October 28, 2022, as part of the Winters’ Expansion DLC.

Resident Evil Village Is Getting a Third-Person Mode

Resident Evil Village is currently only playable in first-person mode, but that will all change later this year when a new third-person mode will be added as part of the Winters’ Expansion.

Resident Evil Village’s third-person mode will be released on October 28, 2022, as part of the WInters’ Expansion DLC.
