Resident Evil Village: How to turn third-person mode on and off

The majority of Resident Evil games are noted for being played in third-person, where you can see over the protagonist's shoulder as they battle undefeatable enemies and hordes of undead. The only first-person point-of-view-based Resident Evil games are Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village. Resident Evil Village now has a third-person mode that lets you finally see over Ethan Winters' shoulder thanks to The Winters' Expansion. You can use this guide to learn how to activate and deactivate third-person mode in Resident Evil Village.

How to switch between first and third-person perspectives in Resident Evil Village

You might wish to finally look over Ethan Winters' shoulder as he tries to survive the night and find his daughter now that the Winters' Expansion gave the game a third-person perspective. Fortunately, you don't need to trawl through menus to find the new mode because, after downloading the DLC, the game provides you with the choice to select your preferred mode as soon as you launch it. You can choose between first and third-person points of view once you start the game and get to the main menu.

Choose the option that makes you feel most at ease. As soon as the game launches, you will be viewing everything from the chosen perspective. However, there are a few peculiarities concerning third-person POV that you ought to be aware of. You cannot turn the camera to see Ethan's face when playing with this mode enabled, and all cutscenes will still be in first person. That will keep everyone guessing.

You can change the camera mode at any moment after selecting it from the menu. You only need to choose items from the menu. From there, choose the camera option, and you'll discover a "view mode" setting that has been added to the main menu. When you choose this option, a new menu with first-person and third-person options will appear.
