Minor Spoilers of Resident Evil Village!
As I mentioned GameSpot, The Resident Evil Village demo, which will be available on all platforms on May 1st, will allow you to interact with a gunsmith named Duke.
As he scrolls through his wares, he jokes, “What are you buying? -Haha, just something an old friend told me.”This old friend is without a doubt, if only it was just a nod Resident Evil Merchant 4. YouTube KendoGunSop I captured that moment and included footage from a Resident Evil 4 dealer showing the connection.
As we found out in our Resident Evil Village preview, this new entry contains many ideas from RE 4, including its location.
RE 4 happened in Spain, and while the RE Village story takes players to Eastern Europe, it seems close enough that these dealers have forged a fruitful friendship.
Would this be just a funny nod to Resident Evil 4, which itself gets a new VR port for Oculus Quest 2, or a hint of a deeper connection between the two games?We won’t have to wait long for Resident Evil Village to launch on May 7, 2021 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia.
