Based on what has been shown so far, theResident Evil 8DLC is packed with content, which includes theShadow of Rosestory expansion and a brand-new third person mode, similar to theResident Evil 2remake.Shadow of Rosehas the daughter of Ethan Winter returning to the village with new powers that should add a refreshing element to the gameplay, while possibly setting up what players can expect inResident Evil9. The third person mode will allow classicResident Evilfans to experience the game in a way that they may prefer.
