Resident Evil Village will get a third-person mode.
The expansion "Shadows of Rose" is entirely in third-person.

Very cool. DLC looks good, and wasn't what I was expecting - which is good. I'm glad they've gotten this franchise back on track.

Hopefully this means REIX will have the option in the future, I tolerated FP RE but I greatly prefer third person

I will now happily purchase RE:VIII instead of just renting it. Still don't like Ethan, but a third person mode is a decent consolation.

Very hyped that the DLC will be a sequel and not the pandering Lady Demitrescu origin story I was dreading it would be.

Other upgrades seem rad too!

I guess since a lot of ppl wanted this view, hopefully this means that future titles will have this option too.

My wife is excited that she can finally play it because the first-person view in this game made her sick.

The game's finally fixed, took them long enough.

Hope this mode is as fully featured as RE2/RE3 and not just half baked.

Guess I'll buy it now. I'm not an FPS player, so it's nice to see it make a move to 3rd person. Hopefully the next instalments follow suit or at least give people the option.

RE8 being third person means it'll finally be good

As someone who do not like FPS, I have to say RE7 made me go "well, it feels justified and every aspect of this game is designed around it". It was going great with the immersion they went with, the atmosphere, slower gameplay, it worked really well and it sold me on their take.


Needless to say I felt completely differently about RE8 outside of a couple iconic moments. So not only am I not surprised they're doing that (and moving away from it entirely with Rose and 4), I welcome it greatly.

Yeah I hoped for a FOV slider, but got the absolute best case scenario for my motion sickness problem. Thank you Capcom!

Not the type of DLC I expected. Gah, I really hope Rose is the protagonist of Apocalypse/IX. Though she may just get a spin-off.
I wonder how the cutscenes will work. Switching into FP or did they redo them entirely?
Seems way too massive of an undertaking, cutscenes will probably be first person with maybe exception for some very easy sequences.

Yeah, I gotta pick up a copy. First person RE games were never my jam but I will play it in third person no problem.

Great news.

Well I recently restarted resi viik after not getting to finish it when it released.

So the show spoiled the game and killed my intention to continue with the coming 3rd person mode!

Looking forward to Rose's dlc.
Making the dlc for what was originally a first person game in third person is an interesting decision.
This along with the new third person mode for Village makes me think that the days of first person RE are over.
I wonder if Rose will become the new face of the franchise.

Would be hilarious if they still hide Ethan's face in third person. Like only barely show his face and never fully.

Wow, this is nice. I still have the game in the shrinkwrap since I never got around to actually playing it. I might wait for this.

Shadows of Rose is the furthest in the future we've ever been in this timeline, by a significant factor, is it not?

I'm curious to see what all has occurred in these 20 years or whatever.

FINALLY, THIRD PERSON VILLAGE! CAPCOM HAS COME TO REASON! NOW I CAN PLAY THIS GAME! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Now I just hope this means Resident Evil 9 will be Third Person too.

Now add fixed camera mode with classic Resident Evil music playing when you get chased by Lady D.

Yes! As dumb as it sounds, the new RE games being first person made them less interesting to me, and I never played them because of that. Will definitely get Village when this update comes out.
