The Resident Evil Village Winters’ Expansion is bringing back a feature that the main series had previously been moving away from: a third-person perspective. While Resident Evil VII: Biohazard reshaped the series’ formula with the introduction of the first-person viewpoint, through the Winters’ Expansion, Capcom is providing Resident Evil Village gamers with the option to play the latest entry in the Resident Evil series from a third-person view. This guide will demonstrate how to start third-person mode in Resident Evil Village, so you can experience the latest story in the Resident Evil videogame mythos from a new perspective.

From the main menu, select Options, then go to the “Camera” tab of the Options menu and choose “third-person” for the view mode, and you will be able to continue your adventure through the twisted storybook meets survival horror of Resident Evil Village.
