This is the first time any sort of price point for Resident Evil Village‘s DLC has been discussed, and free is kind of surprising given how long after release it’s going to end up releasing. “We will drive our customer management to understand the playing trends and preferences of users while also building a business model for online operations, taking into account the situation of our free additional DLC for titles such as Monster Hunter Rise and Resident Evil Village.” Buried within Capcom’s Annual Integrated Report (which also revealed that Resident Evil 3 Remake is being considered a hit after surpassing 3.9 Million units) was a short blurb about their online business strategy: We’ve finally received our first tidbit of information regarding it, and I do mean bit.

There hasn’t been any word on that since, leaving most fans to assume it’s probably something slated for next year (and after Resident Evil 4 VR and Welcome to Raccoon City‘s marketing dies down). Back in June, Capcom revealed that Resident Evil Village would be receiving DLC at some point in the future due to “popular demand”.
