No less than the plot of the next part of the legendary franchise, players who want to play at maximum settings can also be scared by the system requirements for personal computers.
As befits modern video games, the release of the novelty took place immediately on many platforms. And if the owners of the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S consoles do not have any need to monitor the system requirements of outgoing games, then it is important for owners of personal computers who want to evaluate Resident Evil Village (available on Steam) to know what hardware ยป will be needed.
In 2017, the 9th part of the main series of the franchise, the game Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, was released. Timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Resident Evil, it is dedicated to the adventures of Ethan Winters, who, in search of his missing wife, was taken to the American outback and sent straight to a family of cannibals living in an abandoned house. In May 2021, players were given the opportunity to once again feel in the shoes of their favorite character.
Having safely gotten out of all the troubles of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard with his wife Mia, Ethan Winters again cannot count on a quiet life in Resident Evil Village. The events of the new part unfold three years after the previous release, and during this time the protagonist’s wife is killed by Chris Redfield, who kidnaps 6-month-old Rosemary, Ethan’s daughter. In an effort to free his daughter, Winters finds herself, as the name implies, in some mysterious European village.
To rescue his daughter from captivity, the main character will have to deal with mutant werewolves, controlled by Lady Alsina Dumitrescu, Donna Beneviento, Salvatore Moro, and Karl Heisenberg. Each has its own powers and abilities, but all obey the supreme leader, Mother Miranda. In a word, adventures full of horror and unexpected plot twists fall to the lot of Ethan Winters in abundance.
Another thing is that not all gamers will be able to share the chilling events with the main characters of Resident Evil Village. It is worth starting with the fact that you need Windows 10, and if everything is in order with your operating system, then check your computer for compliance with the following system requirements.
