Resident Evil Village 2021
Resident Evil Village is a 2021 survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom. It serves as the follow-up to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017). In the game, players control Ethan Winters as he ventures into a strange European village to find his abducted daughter. The environment is populated with mutated beings and holds hidden connections to the Umbrella Corporation. The title preserves core survival horror mechanics from earlier entries, requiring players to gather resources and manage supplies, while also introducing more combat-focused elements including increased enemy density and enhanced action sequences.
The game was unveiled during the PlayStation 5 showcase in June 2020 and launched on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on May 7, 2021. Subsequent versions followed, including a macOS release and a cloud-based Nintendo Switch version in October 2022, a PlayStation VR2 edition in February 2023, an iOS variant in October 2023, and a Nintendo Switch 2 version in February 2026.
Resident Evil Village garnered generally favorable feedback, with commendations for its gameplay, setting, and diversity, although some criticism was directed toward its puzzle design, boss encounters, and performance on Windows. The shift toward more action-oriented play sparked mixed reactions. It earned recognition as Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. By November 2024, the game had shipped over 10.5 million copies. A continuation titled Resident Evil Requiem debuted on February 27, 2026.
