[TGS 2022] New Details Revealed For “Winters’ Expansion” For ‘Resident Evil Village’, ‘Resident Evil 4’ Remake Coming to PlayStation 4 [Trailer]
Tokyo Game Show 2022 has kicked off with Capcom revealing new details for their upcoming “Winters’ Expansion” DLC for Resident Evil Village. Along with that news, Capcom also revealed that the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake will be making its way to the PlayStation 4.
As mentioned previously, the Winters’ Expansion includes a new story campaign, Shadows Of Rose. The new story takes place 16 years after Village, where Ethan’s daughter Rose has grown up, and now has to contend with her powers. Desperate to be rid of her powers, she enters the consciousness of the Megamycete. It’s here she encounters “Michael”, a being who offers her help in removing her powers. It’s also here she meets a woman who looks exactly like her, along with a host of creatures and the world itself looking to kill her.
That killing part is key, since even a single attack can be fatal for Rose. To counter this, and despite wanting to be rid of her powers, Rose can use her abilities to freeze enemies, enabling her to target weak points and defeat them easier.
Meanwhile, Capcom has announced that the Resident Evil 4 remake will be coming to the PlayStation 4, alongside the previously-announced PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions. No word on if the Xbox One will be getting a version. As a parting treat, Capcom announced another Resident Evil Showcase event for next month, which will include more information on the RE4 remake.
The “Winters’ Expansion” DLC, alongside Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, arrives October 28 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Switch users will be getting their chance to play the DLC on December 2nd. Resident Evil 4 is expected to be released on March 24, 2023.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
