It’s the spooky season, which means it’s the perfect time for updates on one of the biggest horror franchises in gaming. Capcom has announced that there will be a Resident Evil showcase on Thursday, October 20 at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT.
While we don’t know a ton about the showcase, we do know it’ll feature updates on the two biggest RE projects currently in development, the Resident Evil 4 remake and the upcoming Resident Evil Village Gold Edition.
That new edition of Village will include several pieces of DLC, which will add a third-person mode to its campaign, as well as several new characters to its Mercenaries mode. Those new characters include Chris Redfield, the mechanically-minded Karl Heisenberg, and the towering Lady Dimitrescu. Additionally, the Winters’ Expansion DLC will continue the story of Village through the perspective of Ethan’s daughter Rose Winters.
The Resident Evil 4 remake is the bigger-ticket item here, as we still know comparatively little about it. Capcom has previously confirmed that it will be a “re-imagining” of the classic action game, and that it will be comparable to the recent Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes. Still no word on a Code Veronica remake, though we can certainly hope.
