Anyway, here’s everything you need to know about the Resident Evil Village DLC.
When is the Resident Evil Village DLC release date?
Despite initially not having any DLC plans, Capcom released the Resident Evil Village expansion, Shadows of Rose, on October 28 2022 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players. It came out on December 2 for Switch users.
Who’s the Resident Evil Village DLC protagonist?
The protagonist, as the name of the expansion indicates, is Rose Winters, the daughter of Ethan and Mia Winters. However, unlike previous Resident Evil characters, this teenager has unique gifts courtesy of her encounter with the Megmycete, and we certainly can’t wait to see her put them to good use.
What’s the Resident Evil Village DLC story?
The story takes place sixteen years after the events of Resident Evil Village and follows Rose as she seeks to repress her unwanted abilities, thus becoming a human instead of a mutant. However, as you would expect from Resi, nothing is ever that simple and the young girl enters the consciousness of the Megamycete.
As a result, she finds herself in a mysterious realm that may feel familiar to you as you revisit locations such as the infamous Dimitrescu castle. During her time here, Rose meets her own doppelganger, while a hallucination known as Michael claims he can help her to find what she needs.
To survive this perilous journey, you must wisely utilise limited resources such as handgun ammo and health items. On top of this, you need to use the abilities that Rose hates in order to conclude the story of the Winters family.
