Thanks to the latest Resident Evil Village playtest, we have a bunch of new details about new enemy types, new location and playable characters. A playtester, who claims to have been participating in the new round of playtesting has shared these details with folks over at biohazardcast, and here is the breakdown of the fresh new info:
- The new location is a dark cave, very similar to the final caves of Resident Evil 7.
- The playtester controlled a female character with a kerosene lantern. (Potentially the same female that can be seen in the trailer?)
- No weapons during this segment as the only objective was to escape the caves.
- The woman looked very distressed and the playtester reiterated that the caves are very dark.
- These caves featured a yet unseen enemy type that is very different from the beast-men in the trailer.
- New enemies were tall and very similar to Krampus with goat horns, furry and bipedal.
- Enemies carried swords but also had the ability to bite and grab the player.
- A file found in the cave referred to these creatures as Strigoi, a troubled spirit from Romanian folklore that are said to have arisen from the grave.
- One of the witches, named Scarlett, was in the caves and she was able to control the Strigoi.
- Again, the main objective is to stay hidden and escape the caves as you don't have any weapons to defend yourself.
- Once you manage to escape the cave, you'll reach a room in the castle where a woman named Pepi resides.
- Pepi is described as tired and under threat from having to take orders from someone she didn't want to.
Resident Evil Village is coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X sometime in 2021.
