Resident Evil: Village will have you constantly looking over your shoulder and tip-toeing around to try and avoid those terrifying werewolves, vampires, and Lady Demetriscu stalking you around her castle. The upgrade system is a new way to help you combat these horrifying threats by providing upgrades to both your character and your arsenal of weaponry. From hunting animals to collecting coins and hidden treasures, you will always be on the lookout for these vital materials.
You have been able to upgrade weapons in previous titles, and the closest we ve gotten to character upgrades were the unlockables in Resident Evil 7. This is a nice change of pace and should allow for more variety in how a player can tackle the game.

Capcom Explains More Of Lady Dimitrescu s Design From Resident Evil Village

The design of Dimitrescu was going off a vampiric motif, Takano said. But obviously if we had just gone straight in that direction, it would be very stereotypical. We wanted to make sure we created something more memorable.
