Hello PlayStation fans! I’m Tsuyoshi Kanda, producer of Resident Evil Village.Preorders for the Winters’ Expansion, as well as Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, have just started. Today, I would like to talk about the new playable characters in The Mercenaries Additional Orders and a special bonus item available with pre-purchases.
The first character is someone many of you know well: a hero throughout the series, Chris Redfield. As a legendary hero, Chris utilizes many firearms as well as his robust strength. When you take down enemies using Chris, his Onslaught Gauge will increase. Once it’s full, you can unleash his unique onslaught mode. In this mode, Chris’ movement speed, reload speed, and attack damage greatly increase, and you can take total control of the battlefield. If you can take down an enemy using Straight Punch, you’ll get a major boost to the Onslaught Gauge, as well.
Target Locator is one of the powerful weapons in Chris’ arsenal and is capable of unleashing a strong supporting attack. Make sure you have a clear line of sight towards the horde of enemies you plan to use it on.
Second is Karl Heisenberg, one of the four lords who serve Mother Miranda. This character wields a huge hammer, and also has the ability to control magnetic forces. You can charge electricity by swinging his hammer and by slamming it on the ground, then release all that energy to deal damage in a wide area.
