We’re Back Following Ethan Winters
If you’ve not been following the announcements surrounding Resident Evil Village — or your timeline was just overwhelmed with people asking to be stepped on by the tall vampire lady (a very real possibility) — then let’s start with the protagonist and a bit of background here.
Ethan Winters was the protagonist of Resident Evil 7, and Village takes place a few years after the events that took place as he visited the Baker family in search of his presumed dead wife, Mia. Turns out she wasn’t and after a long endeavor to seek out the truth and plenty of shooting zombies in the head, both Ethan and Mia are seen extracted to safety by Chris Redfield in an Umbrella helicopter at the end of the game.
With all that behind them, Ethan and Mia are living a happy life in the suburbs, doing their best to forget the horrors they once endured, but… rather inevitably, this doesn’t last long. Their daughter, Rose, is seemingly kidnapped by Chris Redfield and taken to a mysterious European village, and so Ethan follows in pursuit.
What lies in wait within the village, other than the aforementioned tall vampire lady, you’ll have to wait to find out.
