Resident Evil 8 Village Trailer: 10 Things You Missed

Although Resident Evil has moved in so many directions outside of the traditional Romero-zombie model of the earlier games...it would still be weird not to feature some type of variation of it.

Here, in what appears to be a morbid torture dungeon, located possibly under Lady Dimitrescu's aforementioned castle, we see a pack of ghoulish creatures come at Ethan.

What's more interesting is that Capcom appears to be doing a middle-ground variation of the traditional zombie, and the more capable Las Plagas village folk from Resident Evil 4.

We can assume this as they lumber blindly forward towards Ethan (perhaps attracted to sound or light) with basic senses, but after failing to claw or bite him, one fellow manages to swing a sword at our protagonist - showing that they're more than capable of advanced attacks.

If you play the Maiden demo on PS5, you can hear these creeps just behind some wood and they don't sound friendly at all.
