When Resident Evil Village (or Resident Evil 8) was released in 2021, the game once again captured the attention of millions of franchise fans. Following the success of Resident Evil 7, which returned the series to its survival horror roots, Capcom decided to continue developing the first-person concept while adding elements that expanded the scale and depth of the game world. Resident Evil 8 combined the classic elements that made the series iconic with new innovations, turning it into a true gem of the genre.
