NEWS | Resident Evil Village VR Mode Now Available for PlayStation VR2, Free DLC for Resident Evil 4

CAPCOM's Resident Evil Village is bringing survival horror to a new level of immersion with the launch of its virtual reality (VR) mode. 

Compatible with PlayStation VR2, the DLC supports the full story campaign following Ethan Winters' harrowing journey to rescue his kidnapped daughter, Rose. The VR mode is available for free download for all PlayStation 5 owners of Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil Village Gold Edition.

With the new headset's advanced features, players can experience the game's world straight through Ethan's eyes in stunning detail powered by the new headset's 4K HDR display and eye-tracking technology. The atmosphere is further enhanced by 3D audio effects that add texture to the environment and allow players to hear the horrors that lurk around every corner.

PlayStation VR2 Sense functionality makes the experience even more immersive. The new controllers enable players to interact with their surroundings like never before with natural motions that mirror Ethan's on-screen movements. These intuitive inputs include blocking enemy attacks by lifting Ethan's arms, reloading firearms with realistic actions, and exploring while holding up a map.

The VR mode also includes VR Tutorial and Shooting Range modes that demonstrate the new VR gameplay systems and provide a place for players to hone their marksmanship skills.

Development has also begun on Resident Evil 4's VR mode, which will be available as free DLC for the highly anticipated remake of Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil 4 is now available for pre-order ahead of its fast-approaching March 24, 2023 release across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. — Geeks Republika
