[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.
A year after its Early Access launch, Ice Code Games is prepping to have their tactical turn-based strategy and extraction looter title Nightmare Frontier leave Early Access and launch in full. In doing so, the devteam has launched the biggest ever update for the title in “Twisted Prosperity”, bringing with it a radical reshaping in how you navigate the shadows, with survival now demands a sharp eye and even sharper reflexes.
The update introduces the Deadwood, a terrifying new “Fear of Forests” enemy that turns every treeline into a death trap. But you aren’t going empty-handed. The update also introduces a major new gameplay mechanic: during the game’s fast-paced and chaotic battles, players can now rely on a new bullet ricochet system, allowing them to make their shots even deadlier and more precise.
Twisted Prosperity also includes new items, side quests, gameplay tweaks and the expected bug fixes, which are detailed here. No date has been set just yet for Nightmare Frontier to leave Early Access, other than the nebulous Q3 2026 window.
Nightmare Frontier unfolds in an alternate version of 19th-century America, shortly after a mysterious event that forever changed the world. The line between reality and an unknown horror has become blurred, and those who remain are left to uncover what truly happened that night – and what’s behind the titular Nightmare.
