It's only another six weeks until Resident Evil Village releases and we can all get chased around by a tall vampire lady. Village is following in Resident Evil 7's terrifying first-person footsteps, with Ethan Winters returning as the protagonist. With the release date looming, Capcom has released the system requirements for Village over on its Steam page. Here's what you'll need to dive into the terrifying Romanian landscape:

Resident Evil Village minimum requirements

  • OS: Windows 10 (64 bit)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-7500 | AMD Ryzen 3 1200
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB VRAM | AMD Radeon RX 560 with 4GB VRAM
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • OS: Windows 10 (64 bit)
  • Processor: Intel Core i7 8700 | AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 | AMD Radeon RX 5700
  • DirectX: Version 12

As to be expected, there's a little more heavy lifting here than what was needed for Resident Evil 7, but if Village is anything like the previous title then there'll be a decent amount of wiggle room for making the game work for your specs. 

Resident Evil Village is arriving on Steam on May 7.
