One of the most notable revelations of the showcase was a brand new Resident Evil Village trailer. The short video gives players a closer look at the village itself along with the characters who inhabit the place.

Resident Evil Village will have Mercenaries mode

The publisher also announced that Mercenaries mode will return to the franchise after a long hiatus. This is a time trial mode where users compete for higher scores. In Resident Evil Village, players will be able to use weapon shops between rounds and collect a variety of upgrades.

Resident Evil Village extended game demo is coming

PlayStation 5 owners have already been able to try a small demo for Resident Evil Village. However, an extended demo for all PlayStation platforms will be available next week.

The demo will arrive on other platforms on May 1st, although players will only have one hour to play the two modes offered. This includes the Village demo and the Castle demo, which will be two separate experiences.

The final announcements concerned two collaboration projects. The first is a crossover between Resident Evil and Dead By Daylight, which will see Resident Evil characters arrive at Dead by Daylight. While the short teaser didn’t reveal many details, more will be shown on May 25th as part of Dead By Daylight’s fifth anniversary livestream event.
