Resident Evil: Village Amazes Fans by Bringing Third-Person Mode in the Winters’ Expansion

The latest entry in the Resident Evil franchise brings a much-wanted feature from the older titles back into the game. The latest Winters’ Expansion of Resident Evil: Village has added the third-person mode feature to the game. Fans can enable it from the game’s settings.  

Resident Evil is one of the most influential horror series in the history of gaming. The franchise has spawned 8 main series games and many spinoffs. The series is so popular and successful that it has had many adaptations, including a Hollywood movie series.  

As the franchise is progressing, the newer games are bringing in lots of new additions to the table. Like more detailed visuals, in-depth stories, fluid controls, and much smoother gameplay. But in the strive for progress, the fans missed some of the classic features from the older games. That’s why Capcom decided to bring back an old feature for the latest game in the series.

New Third person Mode in Resident Evil: Village

In the Winters’ expansion, released on October 28, 2022. Resident Evil: Village has added the Third Person mode back in the game. This feature used to be a staple in the older games as the first three games in the series had a “Fixed camera.”

The seventh game in the series, Resident Evil: Biohazard was the first game in the series to implement the first-person camera. The game, compared to its predecessors, had much more closed spaces that gave a claustrophobic feel, so a first-person was much more appropriate for the setting than a third-person one.  

Though the reception was quite good for the game and people accepted the change in the perspective of the camera, some missed the old feel of the games. So, in spite of releasing the game with a default first-person view, Capcom decided to bring the old camera setting with the new Winters’ Expansion. 

How did fans react to this new feature? 

The fans were overwhelmed with joy at seeing a classic coming back to the game. On October 31, 2022, online gaming news provider, IGN posted a tweet with some footage of the game in third-person mode. They wrote in the tweet, “Want to play Resident Evil Village from a different perspective? Third-Person Mode is here thanks to the new Winters’ Expansion!” 

The fans jumped in the replies to the tweet and expressed their love for this new addition. Some told how much they missed the feature in the newer game. Others expressed their happiness and thanked the developers for this expansion.
