Editor’s Note: Check out our full review of Resident Evil Village: The Winters Expansion.

The Winters’ Expansion provides three new ways to enjoy the award-winning Resident Evil Village. The highly requested “Third Person Mode” allows players to experience Ethan Winters’ journey from a whole new angle with an over-the-shoulder perspective and never-before-seen animations. Meanwhile, Ethan is joined in “The Mercenaries Additional Orders” by three new playable characters.

Chris Redfield, Lord Heisenberg, and Lady Dimitrescu join the fray, each wielding a unique arsenal of weapons and skills in this arcade-inspired mode, which now includes extra stages and balance improvements. “Shadows of Rose” rounds out the expansion with a new story set 16 years after the events of the campaign. This scenario follows a now grown-up Rose Winters in search of a cure for her unwanted powers. Explore a twisted realm of consciousness and wield Rose’s abilities to survive the nightmares that await her.

A demo for Resident Evil Village Cloud is available now via the Nintendo eShop. This streaming demo enables players to try the cloud version for a limited time and test out their network environment. After checking out the demo, players can purchase the full game and the expansion through the same app.

Resident Evil 2 Cloud and Resident Evil 3 Cloud are also currently available for Nintendo Switch. Resident Evil 7 biohazard Cloud is on its way to the system as well on Dec. 16, 2022.
