New ‘Resident Evil Village’ Footage Details Combat, New Features, And Being Chased by Lady Dimitrescu

UPDATE: IGN has provided hands-on gameplay of their own, which features more Lady Dimitrescu chasing (if you’re into that).

Some of you might like this new gameplay footage for Resident Evil Village more than others. Over on PlayStation Blog, Capcom has unveiled the new footage (in gif form) that showcases combat, villains, and environments.

And yes, much like Mr. X in the Resident Evil 2, you do get chased by Lady Dimitrescu.

There’s obviously more to this footage than that. For one, typewriters are back in lieu of Ethan’s tape recorders from Resident Evil VII. Thankfully, this time you won’t have to track down and hoard ink ribbons, so you can save to your heart’s content.

Another new addition is handy for those who go away for a bit and come back to the game, as Ethan now carries a journal of sorts which stores your maps and discovered files. There’s also a tab devoted to Ethan’s notes that serve as a recap for you when you return, and have no idea what to do next.

Also, the new footage confirms that the feral beings in the game are in fact Lycans. You’ll be seeing a lot of these guys in the upcoming Village demo (unless you PlayStation owners took advantage of early access). They hunt in packs, so keep your ammo handy.

There’s a lot more info available on the page, so hit it up when you can. Resident Evil Village arrives May 7 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Google Stadia, and PC via Steam.

For those of you who think you’ve gotten your fill of Vampire Survivors, developer Blinkmoon Games has a little something for you later this month with Necromantic. The gothic bullet heaven (or hell?) roguelite will launch into Early Access on PC via Steam on May 22nd.

Necromantic places you as a first-year Valorborn Academy student. Kathedril, the territory that Valorborn Academy sits above, is home to a never-ending graveyard of fun. By “fun”, that means endless hordes of the undead and other monstrosities. Alongside your studies during the day, you must mow down hordes of monsters at night.

You’ll got a rich assortment of over 40 different weapons and abilities at your disposal as you carve your way through waves of monsters across a variety of maps. After you’ve made dust of your foes, you’ll work to gain infamy by studying, going to class, and completing assignments to upgrade and master your skills.

Of course, you could always choose to skip out on your monster-slaying duties and stay out at night to impress the cool kids. But do so at your own risk.

The Early Access period for Necromantic will last approximately five months, where Blinkmoon aims to “constantly [be] evaluating the appetite for our game, and the features we can add for our community.”
