Even before its release, Resident Evil: Village generated a lot of speculation among gamers. In general, in this universe there is no limit to the strange things that players have to deal with from part to part. And every time they think they've figured out the hidden story, Capcom makes new twists and challenges the expectations of his fans.
Let each new game in the series look fresh, and the universe sometimes seems turned upside down, but Loyal fans are not so easy to fool. After the release of the cinematic trailer Resident evil village players from all over the world threw aside their old theories and began to put forward new ones. Despite the fact that many of them have been refuted, some turned out to be frighteningly accurate. It is about such conjectures that will be discussed in this article.
Mia is actually alive
It is absolutely not a spoiler that Mia dies at the very beginning of Resident Evil: Village, because her death was featured in the trailers. long before the official release games. At the beginning of the story, Ethan and Mia have a few minutes of a calm, measured life. But very soon the world of the protagonist turns upside down.
At the beginning of the game, Chris heartlessly kills Mia. But despite this, this turn did not convince the players neither in the death of the heroine, nor in the fact that Chris is the new villain of the series. In fact, fans sorted out this theory almost immediately: the Mia that Redfield shot at the beginning of the game turned out to be none other than Mother Miranda - the main antagonist of this part of the game.
Ethan dies at the end
During the announcement of the new part of the series, the slogan of the game was the phrase “His story comes to an end”. It sounds ominous, and it can mean one of two assumptions: the death of either Chris or Ethan. Fans, of course, felt that it was unlikely that Capcom would dare to kill off one of the most iconic characters in the series, who familiar to players since the first part, so they bet on Winters.
Naturally, Ethan's fans did not want to believe in this theory. However, the plot showed that the protagonist of the last 2 games already at the end of the 7th part was dead and remained alive only thanks to the megamycelium, with which he was reanimated.
But the slogan of the game really turned out to be true in the finale, Ethan commits an act of self-sacrifice in order to save his family. Although there have already been cases when dead characters found loopholes in order to return to the game again, and post-credits scene perhaps hints at the return of Ethan.
Chris Redfield is not a villain
Despite Capcom's attempts make chris the villain, for diehard Resident Evil fans, it's clear that the beloved character simply can't end up being the game's main antagonist. No matter how hard it was for him during the years that he waged a war on biological weapons, Redfield wouldn't have sunk so lowto kill an innocent woman.
Once again, the players were right. During the course of the story, Chris confessed to Ethan that he intended to kill the impostor, who only introduced herself as Mia, but in fact was the main antagonist. As they joke on some fan forums: maybe Chris should have texted Ethan a warning message first, rather than making him think for half the story that Redfield is the villain.
Lady Dimitrescu has a terrifying final form
The main object of fanservice of the 8th part of the game is Lady Dimitrescu, captured the spirit of the fans long before the game's release. And, as many skeptics on the Internet believed, her original stunning appearance hid terrifying second form. To see her, all you had to do was hit the woman with a poisonous dagger.
Yes, Alcina, with her voluptuous forms and elegant appearance, like many other infected characters in the series, eventually begins to mutate into something sinister. Many players even admitted that after what they saw can no longer perceive it, as a beautiful and attractive lady in her usual appearance.
Revealing the origins of the Umbrella Corporation
It might seem strange that in the trailers of the game so often the Umbrella logo flashes. Still, the plot takes place in an old village far from the laboratories of the corporation. Naturally, this led the fans to think that in this part of the series they will succeed look deep into the company's roots and learn much of Umbrella's history.
At the end of the passage, the player really receives just a pile of information, when in Mother Miranda's lab. It is there that you can find out that the founder of Umbrella, Oswell Spencer was none other than this witch's apprentice. In addition, it was in this village that he drew inspiration for the logo of the future corporation developing biological weapons.
Rosa and Evelina are connected
After the events of the previous part of the game, when Evelina threatened Ethan and Mia with death if they did not become her parents, the idea of this couple having a baby is really shocking.
Since Winters was almost entirely made up of mold, and his wife was already infected, it is not surprising that their daughter, baby Rose, also born a mutant. Both Rosa and Evelina were biological weapons, able to control infectious mold, and also had some kind of mental connection with it. And since Evelina was an unsuccessful version of a biological weapon, it was Rose who was chosen by Mother Miranda. to be reincarnated as her dead daughter, Eve.
The old lady is Mother Miranda
From the very beginning of the game, many gamers found the Old Witch wandering around the village to be very suspicious. Some players pretty quickly came to the conclusion that this is the Old Witch the main antagonist of the game, Mother Miranda. This theory turned out to be correct.
Indeed, after the events in the Baker household, it was not a shocking revelation for fans that Mother Miranda actually turned out to be a werewolf. To ensure that everything exactly followed her plan for the ceremony, Miranda disguised as a crazy old ladyto keep an eye on Ethan and nudge him in the right direction for her.
Players will have the option to play as Chris
In recent games in the Resident Evil series, players had moments where they could take control of another character, at least in the last hours of the game. So this theory was not so much about the question “Will there be a second character?”, but about “Who will be the second character?”.
Fans of the series have speculated that at some point, Chris will become a playable hero. And indeed, Capcom did not deceive the expectations of their fans. After the intended ending of Ethan's story, the player takes control of Chris Redfield, who once and for all help kill Mother Miranda.
Lady Dimitrescu and her Daughters are not vampires
What was generally known about the game after the first show? That Ethan went to some remote European village in search of his stolen daughter. Yes, even the main villain was unknown, and almost no one had much doubt that the main antagonist will be the vampire Lady Dimitrescu, who rules these lands.
And the general view of the entire trailer, as well as subsequent ones, seemed to indicate that the series changes the setting again and goes somewhere in fantasy. Although after the previous game, where there was a similar change in the general colors and presentation of the series, many began to present other theories. Among them was the idea that in fact all these vampires and werewolves are creations of Mother Miranda. And it turned out to be true.
Duke is a secret boss
This theory cannot be called absolutely truthful, but there is some truth in it. Fat merchant immediately aroused some suspicion the players, and not just like that. Capcom really planned to make Duke an intimidating boss, which is clearly visible on early concept art, however, during the development process, this idea was abandoned.
