Capcom’s Countdown Could End with Resident Evil Village DLC Reveal

We are coming up to the first anniversary of Resident Evil Village, a game that has received overall positive reviews from players and critics. The original story had a lot to do in terms of exploration, collection, and combat, but fans are still eager for a DLC.  

Capcom revealed during Halloween last year that some free DLC was in the works, but we don’t know much beyond that initial announcement. 

The Resident Evil reboot that started with Resident Evil 7 has seen the series grow in popularity again, adding a new protagonist with a returning cast of characters from the previous games. As of January 2022, Resident Evil Village has sold over 5.7 million copies globally.

So, it was pretty strange that Capcom was not capitalizing on the back of a popular new release by quickly coming out with some DLC, but it seems that might finally change. 

On the Capcom Games website, there is a page called Capcom Countdown. When loaded, this shows users a dark page, with numbers written in white counting down, with the last date being the end of this week.  

Currently, there is no information on what the end of the countdown could bring, but many are speculating it might be the reveal of the upcoming Resident Evil Village DLC. Other rumors suggest that it may be the announcement of a new Street Fighter game. 

The eerie design of the page suggests that it may have more to do with Resident Evil than Street Fighter. It is too soon for it to be an announcement for a new game in the franchise, so an update or reveal of the DLC is the most likely scenario. What this DLC will include is still a mystery, but many hope it will add new story elements, along with new weapons and characters.

Given the amount of time that has passed since the initial announcement of the DLC’s existence, players have been speculating on what the expansion could include.  

Many feel it may feature Chris Redfield, who makes an appearance in the game, and a story that could set up the basis for Resident Evil 9. We’ll just have to wait until the end of the week to know what Capcom has in store for their fans.
