Subtitle options, closed captions, and a permanent reticle
October will be a big month forResident Evilfans, as it should be. While the main attraction is theWinters’ ExpansionandResident Evil Village Gold Editionon October 28, Capcom has more plans in store. Namely, a free accessibility update forResident Evil Village.
Announced on Twitter, Capcom will add several accessibility features to the game:
It’s a fairly light suite of options, particularly as some game developers havestepped up their effortsto reach the widest possible audience. That said, every little bit adds up, and it’s never too late. The permanent reticle might help if you suffer from motion sickness.
I’ve heard complaints about a lack of FOV adjustments inResident Evil Village, and that would’ve been a good inclusion here while Capcom is putting more time and energy into development. As it stands,there’s an FOV modfor the PC version. Once again, not ideal.
TheResident Evil Villageaccessibility update will be released “alongside” the paid expansion and all-encompassingGold Edition, which are due on October 28.
TheWinters’ Expansioncomes with third-person mode, a new “Shadows of Rose” storyline, andextra characters and stagesin The Mercenaries Additional Orders — Chris Redfield, Karl Heisenberg, and yes, Lady D. Altogether, the bundle will cost $20.
I look forward to going HAM in October with a full third-person run, a Rose playthrough, and more arcadey horde slaying. I just hope theMercenaries scoringisn’t a pain.
