Why Resident Evil Village is a safe bet on Xbox Game Pass

A world like no other Resident Evil

• The scenario design is one of its greatest strengths. The village serves as the central hub, but from there, the game opens up to very distinct areas, each with its own identity, rhythm, and gameplay mechanics that constantly change the way you progress.

Villains that leave a mark

• Few recent Resident Evil games can boast a cast of antagonists as recognizable as this one. Lady Dimitrescu and the rest of the village lords not only stand out for their presence but also for how they influence the development of each section of the game, forcing the player to adapt at all times.

Action and survival perfectly balanced

• The game knows how to alternate between moments of pure tension and sections more focused on combat. It’s not all about running or shooting: there’s a very measured balance that keeps the interest going throughout the campaign and makes replaying it just as attractive.

With its release tomorrow, January 20th, on Xbox Game Pass, Resident Evil Village becomes one of the biggest launches of the month on the service and an essential experience for any Xbox player.
