Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the village… Experience the definitive Resident Evil Village game with the launch of the Winters’ Expansion. And for those that have yet to pick up the game at all, the Resident Evil Village Gold Edition is also out today on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
Thinking they were living the peaceful life, Ethan and his wife Mia are looking after baby Rose when their world is once again turned upside down. Follow Ethan as he enters the village and tries to rescue little Rose.
This is the base game to Resident Evil Village, but the Gold Edition brings with it so much more in the form of the Winters’ Expansion. The Gold Edition is up on the Xbox Store for £39.99 and includes the following:
- Third Person Mode: Play the main story from an entirely new perspective.
- The Mercenaries Additional Orders: Three new characters join the fray, including the statuesque Lady Dimitrescu, controllable for the first time.
- Shadows of Rose: a new scenario starring a grown-up Rose, Ethan’s beloved daughter whose kidnapping as a baby kicked off the original Village story.
This content is available separately if you already own the base game. The Winters’ Expansion can be found on the Xbox Store priced at £15.99.
If you have yet to pick up Resident Evil Village, what better time than now? The Gold Edition comes with the following:
- Resident Evil: Village game
- Winters’ Expansion additional content
- Trauma Pack DLC
- Access to RE:VERSE online game
That’s right, Resident Evil RE:VERSE is also available to finally play alongside the release of the Gold Edition! This six-player deathmatch featuring classic Resident Evil goodies and baddies allows players to live out their ultimate fantasy matches. Purchase either the base game or the Gold Edition to get instant access to this multiplayer spinoff. This also comes with its own microtransactions, a shopping list of which can be found below:
- RE:VERSE Premium Pass – £7.99

That’s a lot of info. To summarise though – for my benefit as much as yours – Resident Evil Village Gold Edition is out now. This also includes the Winters’ Expansion – also available separately – and Resident Evil RE:VERSE, though this multiplayer spinoff is also available in the base game. Is that everything? I hope so. Let us know in the comments though if you will be picking any of this up.
Game description
Note: Resident Evil: Village and the Trauma Pack DLC will become playable upon the release of the Gold Edition on 28/10/2022. The Village of Shadows unlock included in the Trauma Pack allows access to content which is otherwise unlockable through gameplay progress. Details of the service period for RE:VERSE can be found on the official website (https://www.residentevil.com/reverse/). The service period may have already concluded, so please check before purchasing. Acces to RE:VERSE may become available through other means at a later date. Set a few years after the horrifying events in the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, the all-new storyline begins with Ethan Winters 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. FEATURES • First-Person Action – Players will assume the role of Ethan Winters and experience every up-close battle and terrifying pursuit through a first-person perspective. • Familiar Faces and New Foes – Chris Redfield has typically been a hero in the Resident Evil series, but his appearance in Resident Evil Village seemingly shrouds him in sinister motives. A host of new adversaries inhabiting the enigmatic village will relentlessly hunt Ethan and hinder his every move as he attempts to make sense of the new nightmare he finds himself in. • A Living, Breathing Village – More than just a mysterious backdrop for the horrifying events that unfold in the game, the village is a character in its own right with mysteries for Ethan to uncover and terrors to escape from.
