REV is a first-person survival horror game that retains the series' survival horror elements, but adopts a more action-oriented gameplay style compared to its predecessor. The first-person survival horror game Resident Evil possesses a legacy of horror dating back to 1996. Featuring the return of the original protagonist, Ethan Winters, Resident Evil Village is a prequel to the series' latest installment, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
