Gameplay

In addition to information and the trailer revealed, Capcom also released a gameplay video showing even more of the title. As the player fights supernatural and dark enemies exploring Dimitrescu Castle, the game will deliver famous features from the franchise such as the briefcase and the merchant.

In Village, Ethan will be able to buy and sell items, as well as buy recipes to create and customize weapons with a merchant who is called the Duke. The inventory will also require planning according to Capcom, as thanks to the revised system players will have to manage space, something well known in the franchise. It was also said that along the journey players will find materials that can be used to craft items indispensable for survival.
