Over 9ft of terror, Capcom's Resident Evil Village villain makes the cover of Official PlayStation Magazine issue 185, on sale now. Discover why Lady Dumitrescu is set to be 2021's superstar.
Official PlayStation Magazine exclusively talks to Peter Fabiano, producer of Resident Evil Village to get the scoop on Capcom's tall lady, how the game makes use of PS5, and why this is the most ambitious Resident Evil yet.
"I’ll just say it’s much larger than what players experienced in Resident Evil VII: Biohazard,” says Peter Fabiano in Official PlayStation Magazine.
Making of Resident Evil Village
Coming to PS4 and PS5 this May, Resident Evil Village sees the return of Ethan Winters as well as series regular Chris Redfield. Set in a mysterious Eastern European village the game recalls Resident Evil 4. Weird locals, monsters, and now a meme-famous vampire clan, Peter Fabiano teases the game's setup in Official PlayStation Magazine's exclusive cover featue.
"We’re not saying that’s what they are, but there’s certainly something that feels supernatural about what’s going on,” he says this issue.
