Resident Evil has always featured some fantastical creatures, but are the vampires and werewolves in Resident Evil: Village a bridges too far?
Despite its often shaky and frequently retconned nature, I’m a big fan of Resident Evil’s lore. Though the games are full of impossible, nightmarish, fantastical creatures, Capcom has always crafted a backstory that tried to present a scientific explanation for them. Despite sometimes sharing similarities to beasts from other works, the BOWs of RE had original enough designs that they didn’t evoke any specific mythology (minus the zombies). That’s why Resident Evil: Village’s vampires and werewolves seem a bit wacky to me. In the latest Resident Evil: Village trailer, we got our first proper look at the factions in play at Castle Dimitrescu.
