Skills & Progression | |
Progression is based on puzzle-solving and traversal using each character's unique tool. Low uses a bow and arrow to hit switches and cut ropes, while Alone uses a wrench to turn mechanisms and smash barriers. There are no traditional skill trees; progression is about mastering the co-op mechanics and finding new tools like the Parasol for gliding. |

Multiplayer Details | |
The game is the first in the series built for co-op. It supports 2-player online co-op only. There is no local couch co-op, a decision that has been widely criticized. The game includes a 'Friend's Pass,' allowing one owner to invite a friend to play for free. A single-player mode with an AI companion is also available. |
The base game of Resident Evil Village is single-player only. 'The Mercenaries' is an arcade-style, single-player score attack mode. The multiplayer game 'Resident Evil RE:Verse' was intended to launch alongside Village as a free pack-in but was delayed and released later as a separate entity. |
extension Editions & DLC | |
Available Editions | |
The game is available in a Standard Edition ($39.99), a Deluxe Edition ($59.99 - includes the Expansion Pass for two future chapters and cosmetic packs), a retail Mirror Edition (includes a figurine), and a premium Premium Spiral Edition (includes a music box figurine base). |
Available in Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition (Trauma Pack with 'Samurai Edge' weapon, Mr. Everywhere weapon charm, found footage filter, save room music, additional difficulty mode 'Village of Shadows'), Collector's Edition (Deluxe content + Chris Redfield statue, SteelBook, artbook, cloth map, Trauma Pack). A 'Gold Edition' was released later, bundling the base game with the 'Winters' Expansion' (Shadows of Rose DLC, Third-Person Mode for main campaign, The Mercenaries Additional Orders). |
Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
A 'Secrets of The Spiral' Expansion Pass is available, which will add two additional game chapters. These are scheduled for release in Q2 2026 and Q4 2026. |
The 'Winters' Expansion' was the major post-launch DLC. It includes: 'Shadows of Rose' (a new story chapter playing as a teenage Rose Winters with unique powers), Third-Person Mode for the main campaign, and 'The Mercenaries Additional Orders' (new characters like Chris, Heisenberg, Lady Dimitrescu, and stages for the arcade mode). |

Frequently Asked Questions | |
|
|
build Technical Details | |
Graphics & Visual Fidelity | |
N/A | Powered by Capcom's RE Engine, Resident Evil Village boasts stunning visuals with highly detailed environments, lifelike character models (especially the Four Lords), and advanced lighting and shadow effects. The game features distinct visual styles for each lord's domain, from the gothic opulence of Castle Dimitrescu to the grotesque organic horror of Moreau's Reservoir. Ray tracing options (Global Illumination, Reflections) are available on PC and current-gen consoles, significantly enhancing visual fidelity. |
Audio & Soundtrack | |
N/A | Original score composed by Shusaku Uchiyama, Nao Sato, and Marcin Przybyłowicz, featuring a blend of orchestral horror themes, tense ambient tracks, and folk-inspired melodies reflecting the Eastern European setting. Sound design is crucial for horror atmosfére, with distinct enemy vocalizations (Lycans' howls, Dimitrescu's pursuit), environmental creaks, and impactful weapon sounds. The game uses binaural audio for enhanced spatial awareness. |
User Interface (UI/UX) | |
N/A | Features a first-person HUD displaying health (electrocardiogram style), ammo count, and equipped item. Inventory management is grid-based, similar to Resident Evil 4, accessible in real-time (though the game often pauses when accessing the full inventory screen). A map helps with navigation, marking key items, save points (typewriters), and locked doors. Crafting is done via a dedicated menu. |
Accessibility Options | |
N/A | Offers a range of accessibility options, including customizable controls (PC), extensive subtitle and caption customization, options for aim assist, display adjustments for brightness and contrast, options to reduce camera wobble, and various audio settings. A third-person mode was added in the Winters' Expansion, which can also be an accessibility aid for some players. |
