Resident Evil Village, also known as Resident Evil 8, is a survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. Serving as the direct sequel to Resident Evil 7 : Biohazard, the game continues the story of Ethan Winters, who is once again drawn into a nightmarish world filled with grotesque enemies and dark secrets.
 

Set in a remote European village, the game blends classic survival horror tension with more action-focused gameplay. Players explore interconnected areas including Castle Dimitrescu, the eerie House Beneviento, a flooded reservoir, and a grim industrial factory. Each location offers a distinct tone, enemy design and gameplay style, keeping the experience fresh and unpredictable.
 

Combat is presented from a first-person perspective, emphasizing immersion and fear. Players manage limited resources, craft ammunition, upgrade weapons through the Duke merchant and strategically choose when to fight or evade enemies. The variety of enemies—from Lycans and grotesque monsters to towering bosses—demands adaptability and careful planning.
 

The story dives deeper into Resident Evil lore, connecting past events and expanding the franchise’s mythology. Characters like Lady Alcina Dimitrescu and her daughters became instant icons, while the narrative explores themes of family, loss and survival.
 

Powered by Capcom’s RE Engine, Resident Evil Village delivers stunning visuals, atmospheric lighting and detailed environments. With its blend of horror, action, memorable characters and strong storytelling, the game stands as one of the most successful modern entries in the Resident Evil franchise.
