Resident Evil Village achieved considerable success, and Capcom thus took advantage of a unique opportunity and, following the example of the seventh volume, announced an expansion of the main storyline called rose shadows. But, as we learn, this will be one of our last meetings with the Winter family, who played the main roles in the seventh and eighth parts.
Recent Activity tokyo game show in addition to a number of announcements, it brought us new information about existing or upcoming titles, and among them was an update on additional Resident Evil Village content. An interview conducted by IGN Japan with director Kento Kinoshita revealed that Capcom created the Shadows of Rose expansion with the intention of closing the Winter family saga.

The Winter family includes the protagonist of Resident Evil Biohazard and The Village. Ethan Wintershis wife mia as well as daughter rose. While in the seventh episode, Ethan intended to save his girlfriend Mia, in the eighth episode, Ethan had to save his daughter, Rose, instead. The Shadow of Rose expansion is happening 16 years after the events of the eighth volume and gives us control for a change – as the name suggests – on Rose, who starts working with Chris Redfield, a very famous character from the Resident Evil series, who also played an important role in the last installments, becoming the link between the original series and the Winter family series. In addition to satisfying the plot, there must also be an expansion. call for all players of the original game, as it should raise the difficulty bar.
On the one hand, this decision makes sense. Ethan, as it seemed at first, died at the end of the eighth episode, leaving his gifted daughter in the care of the rest of the participants. On the other hand, as far as we know, Ethan may not have been completely dead, at least that’s what the Resident Evil Village epilogue revealed. So it can be assumed that apart from Rose and their supernatural abilities expansion will also focus on Ethan’s mysterious disappearance.

That is why fans were surprised by the information that the expansion, which will take approx. four hours of playing time, should be practically a farewell to the beloved family of the main characters. The question is what prompted this decision. Some players found Ethan’s character to be rather spineless, especially in contrast to Leon or Claire from Resident Evil 2. But personally, I really liked Ethan, and it was his personal history that kept me in Resident Evil Village.
In any case, this means that a potential ninth volume will not be part of a trilogy, but a separate iteration of the series with new characters or characters from previous installments. However, the director declined to comment on this.
On the contrary, he did not sit idle with his comments on the planned third person modewhich will be part of the new add-on package. “Compared to previous games in the series, Resident Evil Village offers more player action. You can defend, you can crouch, and there are many objects to explore. We’ve made significant adjustments to make sure these animations look really cohesive and the game runs at a good pace.” Kinoshita told IGN Japan. Allegedly, almost as much effort was put into the third-person mode as it was to create a completely new game, so even the same game can look very different.
Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose launches October 28, 2022, and in addition to the expansion and third-person mode, Winter’s Expansion also includes the option to play as Lady Dimitrescu in mercenary mode.
