The director of „Resident Evil 8” claims Ethan Winters will face the biggest surprise we can imagine.

Ethan Winters, the protagonist of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, has since got a wife (Mia), as well as a daughter (Rosemary). However, Chris Redfield, who we have already seen in the first Resident Evil game, seemingly kidnapped Rosemary, which triggers Ethan to run after him into this village, all set in Eastern Europe.

WCCFTech quoted the newest, April issue of the EDGE magazine, which has an interview with Morimasa Sato, the director of Resident Evil: Village, teasing this big surprise: „The biggest surprise you could imagine awaits Ethan Winters in this story. What that is, you’ll have to see for yourself!”

He also talked about how there were people in the dev team, saying that the game should go back to the third-person perspective (seen in Resident Evil 4-6) instead of using the first-person perspective (seen in RE7): „There were originally some opinions within the team saying that third-person perspective might bring a different kind of combat experience, but I believe that the first-person perspective allows us to express the more up-close-and-personal fear and desperation of the story of Ethan Winters,” Sato said. He added that there will be quite a few horrifying moments: „As you know, one of the central themes of the Resident Evil series is horror or fear, and I would just warn you not to take anything you’ve seen so far as an indication that you can relax in terms of horror content! There are plenty of intense and horrifying scenes in the game, but we’ve chosen to leave those for you to experience by yourself.”

Resident Evil: Village will launch on May 7 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam, with Denuvo), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
