There might be a few things that eagle-eyed players should look out for as they wander the castle in search of an exit, so we asked Peter if there was anything the team wanted them to notice as they explore. With RE Village and Maiden taking place in the same place but not the same time, it left us wondering if the two would be tied together somehow.

Maiden was originally designed as a visual demo that would allow you to explore the inside of Dimitrescu Castle, but it evolved to include a short story and puzzle solving.” Long-time fans of Resident Evil are familiar with various castles that have appeared throughout the series, so they should feel right at home in this one, too.

“The Maiden demo doesn’t take place during the main story of Resident Evil Village. According to Peter, both the maiden’s story and Ethan’s story take place at different times. You must be connected to PlayStation™Network or Xbox Live to redeem content.We asked Peter about who the protagonist of this demo is, as she’s only known as “the maiden.” As Peter explains it, “Maiden is not the name of any person, but instead it symbolizes the protagonist, a girl who’s trapped in Dimitrescu Castle.” Rather than playing as Ethan and seeing a part of his story, the character in this demo is separate from the main story of Resident Evil Village.
