More Resident Evil Village leaks (May Contain Spoilers)
A bunch of details about Resident Evil Village have leaked – but there’s no more news about werewolves yet.

- Very pale enemies, with almost rotten skin and forehead tattoos
- Enemies wear armour that can be shot off

- Enemies jump, grab and bite like in Resident Evil 3, forcing you to mash buttons to reduce damage
- Enemies with swords can immediately behead you

- Major fight against the witch Olga, who turns into a swarm of insects
- Olga cackles when spotting you, and assault you with insects
- Use fire to stave off the insects and render Olga vulnerable
- Weapons and inventory

Daily Fact
WayForward binged on DuckTales while remastering the NES classic
WayForward did a lot of research while working on DuckTales: Remastered. They watched the entire TV series to find out which episodes the original game was inspired by, which allowed them to figure out the intent of the artists and designers behind the original NES game.
For example, the game features a Scrooge sprite where he’s wearing a costume from the episode ‘Masked Mallard’, which you can see in the documentary about the remake. The title screen also mimics the original cartoon intro, and all surviving voice actors reprise their roles including the 93-year-old Alan Young.
