There are no doubts that the Japanese marketing for Resident Evil Village is very, very different compared to its western counterpart.
Today the local branch of Capcom launched another trailer featuring the wacky and hilarious puppets representing the main enemies from the game.
Of course, they’re a lot less intimidating in this form, especially when the blood isn’t actually blood but it’s represented by Christmas tinsel.
You can check it out below alongside the previous trailer of the series and the first.
Resident Evil Village will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam on May 7, 2021.
If you want to see more, you can enjoy the original announcement, a batch of screenshots, a recent cinematic trailer, another video, one more trailer, the latest screenshots, and the launch trailer.
If you’re unfamiliar with Resident Evil Village, here’s an official description from Capcom.
Set a few years after the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, the all-new storyline begins with Ethan and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new location, free from their past nightmares. Just as they are building their new life together, tragedy befalls them once again. Chris Redfield, the legendary hero from the Resident Evil™ series who made a brief appearance in Resident Evil 7 biohazard, is reacquainted with the couple and horribly disrupts their life, leaving Ethan devastated and thrown into an entirely new nightmare.
The first-person action in Resident Evil Village begins when players assume the role of a distraught and shattered Ethan as he seeks to uncover the mysterious new horrors that plague a once peaceful village. Throughout this terrifying journey, players will fight for every breath as they are hunted by vicious new enemies that have infested the snow-capped locale. Channeling the capabilities of next generation consoles, the detailed realism and relentless feeling of fear will increase with each desperate battle for survival, while moments of calm will leave players wondering what new horrors await.
