It is just under a week since players were finally able to dive into Resident Evil Village with the game’s May 7 release date. Over that time, Resident Evil fans are still piecing together the game’s plot and trying to find all the secrets hidden within the lycan-filled European village. Yet, other fans are more interested in making their own kind of horror with mods, and a newly released one for Resident Evil Village is the stuff of nightmares.
Since the release of Resident Evil Village, there has been a ridiculous amount of modding that has spun the franchise on its head. Fans have gone above and beyond to make some wild model swaps to create either their worst nightmare, or weirdest fantasy. With one of the more notable Resident Evil Village mods being Chris Redfield’s head on Ethan Winters’ baby, a newly released one is swapping the roles.
JTeghius “JTegh” Kittius, the modder responsible for bringing baby Chris Redfield to the world, has now opted to make sure the Resident Evil universe is balanced with Rosemary Winters taking Chris Redfield’s body. Much like Jtegh’s previous mod, this one also produces a new kind of horror experience fans were not expecting. Yet, having an oversized baby head on a fully grown man’s body may be more uncomfortable based on the footage below.
It is definitely quite the sight to see Rose seemingly become the villain of this game, having the brutal opening recreated with an abundance of absurdity. While strange, it does add some levity to an otherwise heavy game as Ethan must rescue his daughter from a terrifying cult. Resident Evil Village is definitely willing to take some gruesome chances with the horror elements alongside some seemingly odd turns with familiar franchise mechanics.
For those not interested in modding Resident Evil Village to find a new kind of horror, the game itself has plenty of frightening moments to keep players hooked. Resident Evil Village has been a considerable success for publisher Capcom, with the game already hitting some big franchise milestones. Due in part to the big opening week sales of Resident Evil Village, Capcom confirms that the Resident Evil franchise as a whole has exceeded 100 million units shipped over the 25-year long history of the series.
With it still being very early days for the Resident Evil Village modding scene, there will inevitably be more to come to take Capcom’s recent survival horror title to some wild places. The most likely mod to make big waves in the community will involve the breakout star of Resident Evil Village: Ethan’s hands. Hopefully, somebody out there will take the time to try and help the most suffering hands in gaming history.
Resident Evil Village is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
