Lord Karl Heisenberg, Lady Dumitrescu, and Chris Redfield all jump into the fight.
Capcom has released a new trailer, information, and screenshots for Resident Evil Village’s “Winters’ Expansion,” which focuses on “The Mercenaries Additional Orders” and adds new playable characters, stages, and more improvements to the fast-paced action mode.
In “The Mercenaries: Additional Orders,” you can also play Lady Dumitrescu, Lord Karl Heisenberg, and Chris Redfield, as well as Ethan Winters. Capcom has this to say about each character:
In this action-packed mode, Lady Dimitrescu towers over her enemies with her nine-foot height. She uses this height to fight Lycans and other enemies who are unlucky enough to cross her path. Lady Dimitrescu fills her Thrill meter in battle by slicing her opponents to pieces with her razor-sharp claws. This gives her the ability to do special things, like slam down enemies or call her daughters.
Lord Karl Heisenberg has electric powers of his own. Heisenberg can really put a charge into his attacks because he has a big hammer and can control magnetic currents. Soldat Jets, which were made in Heisenberg’s factory, fight alongside him, but be careful not to get caught in the middle of their attacks, which are meant to destroy themselves. Heisenberg can also trade his speed of movement to see what his enemies are made of by pulling them in with his magnetic field or put on a show for everyone by throwing scrap metal like saw blades at them.
In “The Mercenaries: Additional Orders,” Chris Redfield was also a S.T.A.R.S. agent. The legendary BSAA agent has a powerful straight punch that can get him out of tight spots and quickly fill up his Onslaught gauge. When Onslaught is on, Chris can move and reload very quickly. Chris can also ask for help from the Hound Wolf Squad by using his target locator to find out where the enemies are and then calling for support strikes.
“Bloody Village” and “Bloody River” are the names of the two new stages.
The “Winters’ Expansion” is also part of the Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, which comes out on October 28 along with the game. Here’s what you need to know about Resident Evil Village Gold Edition:
About
Resident Evil Village is the eighth main game in the award-winning Resident Evil series, and it takes survival horror to a whole new level. After the horrifying events of the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, the story follows Ethan Winters as he travels to a remote snow-capped village full of different scary enemies. After a terrible encounter with the hero of the Resident Evil series, Chris Redfield, Ethan goes after him to find out what happened, but he ends up in a whole new nightmare.
Resident Evil Village Gold Edition is a bundle of the original game and the highly anticipated “Winters’ Expansion” downloadable content. Both will be available on October 28, 2022. “Third-Person Mode” is a new way to play the full campaign in “Winters’ Expansion.” “The Mercenaries Additional Orders” is a major update for the action-packed “The Mercenaries” mode that adds new playable characters. Finally, “Shadows of Rose” picks up the story 16 years after the end of the main game. The “Resident Evil Village Trauma Pack” can be bought with a coupon that comes with the “Resident Evil Village Gold Edition.”
What’s Important
