Like Resident Evil 7, Village is played from a first-person perspective. Capcom showed off new gameplay, including our first look at the game’s merchant, a man named The Duke. The game also uses an inventory system similar to Resident Evil 4's, letting players move around differently sized objects on a grid.

Also announced during the showcase was news of a new demo that will be exclusive to the PS5, for now. The demo stars a character known as The Maiden and will focus on puzzles. It’ll be out later today.

Update (01/21/2021, 6:00 p.m. ET): The Maiden demo is now live on the PlayStation 5 Store. It’s a 4GB download.
