sports_esports Gameplay & Mechanics
Companions/Followers
  • None: The game is designed as a solo experience to emphasize the feeling of isolation and horror. There are no companion or follower systems.
  • None (Ethan Winters - Gameplay): For the vast majority of his playable sections, Ethan Winters fights alone. He does not have persistent AI companions that follow him or can be commanded in combat during his main story segments.
  • Hound Wolf Squad Members (Chris Redfield's Section - Temporary AI): During Chris Redfield's playable segment, he is accompanied by members of his Hound Wolf Squad (e.g., Canine, Lobo, Night Howl, Umber Eyes). They are AI-controlled and provide significant combat support with military-grade weaponry and tactics during these specific missions.
    Human (BSAA Elite Soldiers)
  • Mia Winters & Rosemary Winters (Narrative Context): While central to Ethan's motivations, Mia and Rosemary do not act as gameplay companions for Ethan. Rosemary is an infant, and Mia's active role is primarily at the beginning and end of the game.
    Human
  • Michael (Shadows of Rose DLC - Temporary Guide/Entity): In the 'Shadows of Rose' DLC, Rose is guided by a mysterious entity calling itself 'Michael,' which communicates through text appearing on surfaces. It provides hints and narrative direction but is not a physical companion.
    Mysterious Entity (Megamycete Construct)
Key Collectibles
  • Currency ('Souls'): Dropped by all defeated enemies. This resource is used at 'Lanterns' to level up William's base stats and unlock new powers.
  • Files (Notes, Diaries, Documents, Reports): Numerous readable documents found throughout all areas. They provide rich backstory on the village's history, the Four Lords, Mother Miranda's experiments, the BSAA's involvement, Ethan and Mia's past, and general lore about the Resident Evil universe. Essential for understanding the full narrative.
  • Goats of Warding: 20 small, wooden goat effigies hidden in various locations across the village and its surrounding areas. They make a distinct clicking sound when nearby. Destroying all of them unlocks an achievement/trophy and Challenge Points for the Extra Content Shop.
  • Treasures (Crystal Fragments, Wooden Animals, Combineable Treasures, etc.): Valuable items that can be found hidden in the environment, dropped by certain enemies, or in locked areas. These can be sold to The Duke for Lei (in-game currency). Some treasures consist of multiple parts that can be combined to create a more valuable item (e.g., Dimitrescu's Necklace, Moreau's Hidden Weapon).
  • Weapon Parts (Attachments): Found in specific locations, often in locked cases or hidden areas, or purchased from The Duke. These attachments (e.g., scopes, stocks, extended magazines, compensators) can be equipped to weapons at The Duke's Emporium to improve their stats or functionality.
  • Cooked Meals Ingredients (Fish, Poultry, Meat - Quality Tiers): Animals like fish, chickens, pigs, and goats can be hunted in the village and surrounding areas. They drop different qualities of meat. These ingredients are given to The Duke to cook special meals that provide permanent upgrades to Ethan's maximum health, blocking defense, or movement speed.
  • Outhouse Puzzles (Hidden Items): Many outhouses in the village have a small item hidden inside, often requiring a lockpick or a specific angle to see and shoot down. These usually contain ammo or minor resources.
  • Labyrinth Puzzles & Balls: Each of the Four Lords' main areas (and the village) contains a Labyrinth Puzzle model. Ethan must find a corresponding metal ball (e.g., Crimson Skull, Black Goat) and guide it through the miniature labyrinth to obtain a valuable Crystal Treasure.

colorize Combat & Gear
Weapons Overview
  • Sabre: Primary Melee
    The main weapon, used for a deliberate system of blocking, parrying, light/heavy attacks, and ripostes.
  • Pistol: Secondary Ranged
    A Napoleonic-era pistol used to target enemy weak points. Ammunition is extremely limited to maintain focus on melee combat.
  • Nephtoglobin Transmutations: Supernatural Abilities
    Powerful magical abilities granted by the plague, such as fire blasts, corrosive clouds, and other curses. Using them costs health or sanity.
  • Handguns (LEMI, M1911, V61 Custom, S.T.A.K.E. Magnum, etc.): Pistol / Magnum
    Standard sidearms for general combat. Range from basic pistols to powerful magnums. Upgradable for damage, fire rate, capacity, etc. Some have unique properties or attachments.
  • Shotguns (M1897, W870 TAC, SYG-12): Shotgun (Pump-Action, Semi-Auto)
    Effective at close range, dealing high damage to unarmored or multiple enemies. Includes pump-action, tactical, and semi-automatic variants. Upgradable.
  • Rifles (FZ F2 Rifle, Dragoon - Chris Redfield Section): Sniper Rifle / Assault Rifle
    The FZ F2 is a bolt-action sniper rifle for long-range precision. During Chris Redfield's section, assault rifles like the Dragoon are used. Upgradable with scopes, stocks, etc.
  • Grenade Launcher (GM 79): Explosive / Utility Launcher
    Fires explosive rounds for area damage or flashbang rounds to stun enemies. Limited ammunition.
  • Knife: Melee (Utility/Last Resort)
    Ethan's standard melee weapon. Used for breaking crates, finishing downed enemies, or as a last resort in combat. Not very effective against most enemies on its own.
  • Mines & Pipe Bombs: Craftable Explosives
    Craftable throwable or deployable explosives. Pipe bombs are basic grenades, while mines can be set as traps.
  • Special/Story Weapons (e.g., specific weapons during boss fights or unique sections): Contextual / Unique
    Certain sections or boss encounters may provide Ethan (or other playable characters like Chris) with unique or powerful weapons temporarily.
  • Chris Redfield's Arsenal (Target Locator, WCX Assault Rifle, Karambit Knife - Playable Section): Military Grade Weaponry
    During Chris's playable segment, he has access to more advanced military weaponry, including an assault rifle with various attachments and a target locator for airstrikes.
  • Rose Winters' Powers (Shadows of Rose DLC - Not traditional weapons): Bio-Organic Abilities
    In the 'Shadows of Rose' DLC, Rose uses powers derived from the Mold to destroy Mold Cores, stun enemies, and clear obstacles, rather than conventional firearms for most of the DLC.
Armor / Gear Sets
  • Napoleonic Uniforms: The game does not appear to have a traditional armor system. William wears a tattered Grande Armée uniform. Progression is tied to stat increases and unlocking new abilities rather than finding and equipping different armor pieces.
  • No Equipable Armor System (Ethan Winters): Ethan Winters does not have an equipable armor system where players can find or upgrade different pieces of armor for direct stat boosts. His survivability is based on his base health (which can be permanently increased by eating specific cooked meals from The Duke's Kitchen), player skill in combat (blocking, dodging), and the use of healing items (First Aid Meds). Clothing changes are story-dictated and purely cosmetic.
  • Defensive Upgrades (The Duke's Kitchen): By providing The Duke with specific quantities of Fish, Poultry, and Meat obtained from hunting animals in the village, Ethan can have meals cooked that provide permanent upgrades to his maximum health, blocking defense, or movement speed. This is the primary way to increase his resilience.
  • Blocking Mechanic: Ethan can block incoming attacks with his arms or equipped weapon, significantly reducing damage taken. A well-timed block can sometimes stagger enemies. This is a core defensive skill.
Outfits/Customization
  • Default Uniform: It is not yet known if character clothing will be customizable. The protagonist has a distinct, historically-inspired design with a tattered Napoleonic uniform.
  • Ethan Winters' Attire: Ethan wears a consistent outfit throughout the main game (winter jacket, pants, etc.), which becomes progressively more tattered and bloodied as he endures hardships. There are no direct clothing customization options for Ethan in the story mode beyond these contextual changes. The Third-Person Mode added in the Winters' Expansion shows his full character model.
  • Chris Redfield's Attire: During his playable segment, Chris wears his signature Hound Wolf Squad tactical gear. This is fixed for his section.
  • Rose Winters' Attire (Shadows of Rose DLC): In the 'Shadows of Rose' DLC, teenage Rose wears a distinct outfit. Her appearance is fixed for her storyline.
  • Character Costumes (The Mercenaries Additional Orders / Unlockables): The Mercenaries mode and potentially other unlockable content (like through completing challenges or as part of Deluxe/Gold editions) may offer alternate cosmetic costumes for playable characters in those specific modes (e.g., different outfits for Chris, Lady Dimitrescu, Heisenberg in Mercenaries).
trending_up Progression & Upgrades
Skills & Progression

Progression is based on a classic Soulslike formula. Players earn currency from defeated enemies to spend at 'Lanterns' (bonfires) to increase base attributes like health, stamina, and weapon skill. A key mechanic is the 'Corruption' system, where using powerful Nephtoglobin abilities increases William's power but also carries risks, such as health drain or attracting more dangerous enemies.

N/A
public World & Exploration
World & Level Design

The game features a 'Metroidvania-lite' level design. The world is not a single open world but a series of interconnected zones that loop back on themselves, with new paths and secrets opening up as players acquire new traversal abilities or powers. Exploration is organic, as the game will not feature a world map.

N/A
Playable Vehicles
  • None
    The game is focused on on-foot exploration and combat. There are no controllable player vehicles.
  • Tractor (Briefly, Cutscene/Scripted): Agricultural Land Vehicle
    Ethan briefly uses a tractor during an escape sequence early in the game, but it is a scripted event rather than a freely controllable vehicle.
  • Boat (Moreau's Reservoir): Small Motorboat / Watercraft
    Used by Ethan to navigate the flooded areas of Moreau's Reservoir while being pursued by the transformed Salvatore Moreau. Control is primarily for navigation and evasion during this specific segment.
  • Makeshift Tank / Vehicle (Heisenberg's Factory - Boss Fight): Improvised Combat Vehicle
    During the boss fight against Karl Heisenberg, Ethan pilots a makeshift, heavily armed vehicle created by Chris Redfield to counter Heisenberg's metallic form. Control is specific to this boss encounter.
  • Traversal on Foot (Walking, Running, Sprinting, Crouching): Player Locomotion
    Primary mode of movement. Ethan can walk, run (limited by stamina that isn't explicitly shown but implied by breathlessness), sprint for short bursts, and crouch for stealth or navigating low passages.

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.
