We’ve been watching Capcom’s January showcase, containing snippets of Resident Evil Village gameplay, and it’s left us with a lot of questions we cannot wait to pose to Morimasa Sato. For now, though, the game’s director wants to keep us dangling, concerned that explaining specifics around certain mechanics and story details would be to dilute the experience ahead of its release in June. Example: what’s with the insects that emerge from protagonist Ethan Winters’ hand? “I really wouldn’t want to spoil this for you,” Sato says. “It will be much more exciting to check it out in the game!” If he won’t commit to getting into some of the nittiest, grittiest bits, though, he is at least happy to talk up how we might respond to them. “The biggest surprise you could possibly imagine awaits Ethan Winters in this story,” he says, snapping us to attention, before inevitably bringing us crashing back down to earth: “What that is, you’ll have to see for yourself!”
