Resident Evil Village DLC to feature 20 unlockables in The Mercenaries

pcgamesn.com:

More than a year after it was announced at E3 2021, Capcom is soon set to release its Resident Evil Village DLC featuring a coda to protagonist Ethan Winters’ storyline titled Shadows of Rose, a third-person mode, and an update The Mercenaries game mode that lets players play as Chris Redfield, Karl Heisenberg, or Lady Dimitrescu. The expansion’s director says players will be able to access 20 unlockables in The Mercenaries Additional Orders, which includes stages and abilities. And, while the team had to shrink one of its most popular characters just a little bit to make them playable in game, Resident Evill Village fans will still be able to play as a 9-foot-tall furniture-thowing Lady D in one the best horror games for PC in 2022.

In an interview with Polygon, Winters’ Expansion game director Kento Kinoshita shared several new details regarding the expansion, particularly regarding The Mercenaries Additional Orders, which adds fresh content to The Mercenaries game mode.

Kinoshita said the developers focused on giving each of the new characters a “distinct feel.” Each has a unique play style, incentivising players to try them all. Redfield will work with firearms and close-range melee, and Heisenberg leverages a magnetic force. Lady Dimitrescu will force an imposing presence with her large stature and ability to throw furniture, inspired by a scene where she throws a vanity in the primary game.

The addition of these characters in The Mercenaries, which was at least partially in response to player feedback regarding favourite characters, will add more diversity to the mode, where players are presently limited to fighting hordes as Ethan.

Though Lady D is still depicted in her imposing stature, the developers did shrink
