Resident Evil Village arrives in only three weeks, and Capcom has revealed a ton of new information about the game via their latest Resident Evil Showcase. First up, we have a new trailer, which shows off more of the titular village, new monsters, another appearance by Chris Redfield, some Lady Dimitrescu blood sucking, and more. Oh, and yes, in case there was any doubt, an Umbrella Corp. connection is teased as well. Check it all out for yourself, below.
Capcom also made the surprise announcement that the well-loved Mercenaries multiplayer mode is returning with Resident Evil Village. This time around, there will be a shop for buying new weapons, and a variety of special abilities to collect that will boost your abilities in various ways. Get your first peek at the new Mercenaries mode, below.
