Last night during the Capcom Showcase, they gave us our first look at the next step in Resident Evil Village‘s story. Alongside the Gold Edition, which will include a third-person point of view for the game and the addition of Chris, Heisenberg and Lady Dimitrescu to the Mercenaries mode, we got our first look at the upcoming Shadows of Rose DLC. When Village came to a close, the final cut scene showed us an older Rose laying flowers at her father’s grave. We got the impression that she has been working alongside Chris over the last few years. But, it seems she might be hiding some of her more terrifying abilities.

The trailer for Shadows of Rose takes us back to the terrifying Village in question. Rose is struggling with being different, and maybe returning to the place that kicked this all off might just provide her with answers. But something doesn’t want her there, and she even comes face to face with someone who looks just like her. Could this be Mother Miranda’s daughter Eva? Was she able to successfully bring her back? And why is Duke trying to attack Rose? And where did that mask come from? We aren’t ready to learn that he is behind all of this.

We are excited to see Capcom continue Rose’s story after giving us a look into her life as a teenager. While we would love a complete game, Capcom has kept keeping the timeline straight with its Resident Evil releases. It would be a massive jump in time if Resident Evil 9 focused on Rose. A 16-year jump, to be exact. Our hopes still lie in the theory that the ninth installment of the main storyline will see the return of Jill Valentine as Chris heads off to deal with the BCAA. But with Resident Evil 4 Remake dropping next year, chances are we won’t see a new game until 2024.

Resident Evil Village Shadows of Rose is set to drop on October 28, 2022, for PC through Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Check out the announcement trailer below! Why do you think the Duke is after Rose? What secrets lie ahead for the Resident Evil universe? Let us know in the comments below and on social media!
