Here's What Resident Evil Village Characters Would Look Like As Puppets

Capcom’sResident Evilseries is known for its use of creepy settings, horrific monsters, and an overall tense atmosphere.From Lickers and zombie dogsto mutating monsters and mutants, there are plenty of iconic creatures that are almost guaranteed to keep players up at night. And with the upcoming release ofResident Evil Village, Capcom is pushing the horror (and marketing) even more.

The latest marketing effort from Capcom comes in the form of a Saturday morning cartoon styled animation that takes several of the characters inResident Evil Villageand turns them into felt puppets and the result is quite charming.

The three-minute video was posted to Capcom’s JapaneseResident EvilYouTube channel and is an interesting take on the cast of spooky characters. The entirety of the video is spoken in Japanese, but thanks to the high-quality puppet animations, even someone that doesn’t quite understand what’s going on can get an idea of the scenario presented to viewers. The title of the video translated to English is “Biohazard Village x Puppet Show “Play in Bio Village” Episode 1.” This could mean that Capcom will release other episodes as the game comes closer to release.

As of the time of writing, the video has gotten almost 400,000 views with only 171 dislikes, so it seems that the majority ofResident Evil Villagefans are finding the video to be highly enjoyable and entertaining. Capcom has yet to release an English version of the video to its otherResident Evilchannel, but since this version is already getting lots of attention, hopefully the developer/publisher will create one for western audiences.

While folks wait for an English version of the trailer, they can check out the latestResident Evil Villagedemo that’s been recently extendedfor players. Gamers in North America will have from May 1 to May 9 to check out the demo and those in the UK will have from May 2 to May 10. The demo will giveREfans 60 minutes to explore the game’s terrifying setting before the game launches next week.
