Thanks to Wand for sponsoring this video. ⭐ Download Wand for Free Now → https://wand.gg/poundermcnasty Resident Evil Village development was a chaotic six-year journey Before Resident Evil 7 was released, the team at Capcom was already experimenting with what would become the next entry in the series. This footage captures the earliest stages of the project, showcasing pre-production Unity samples, early character models, and map layouts that never made it into the final release. The reality of modern game development meant that with only one year left until launch, the project was only 60% complete. This video details the intense pressure the team faced, including the decision to reboot major level segments because the original designs simply were not fun to play. We look at how those script revisions and structural changes shaped the final experience. Let me know in the comments if you want to see a breakdown of other horror game productions next.
