Redfield is briefly teased to be taking a villainous turn at the start of the game, but it doesn't take long for players to realize that Chris is not actually evil. So the short answer is that no, Chris Redfield is not a villain in Resident Evil Village.
The game then ends with Chris mentoring Ethan's daughter Rose while also traveling to the BSAA headquarters to figure out what's going on for himself. Perhaps Chris did not agree with some of the decisions that the organization was making. This could give some insight into why Chris has been working with the Blue Umbrella organization and has jumped ship from the BSAA. Ethan sacrifices himself to destroy the Megamycete as Chris, Mia, Rose, and the surviving members of Chris's team escape on a helicopter.Īboard the helicopter, Chris realizes that the BSAA soldiers sent in were actually bioweapons and not real soldiers. Ethan is mortally wounded in the battle, and he entrusts Rose with Chris. Chris is then blocked off and Ethan has to finish the fight against Mother Miranda on his own. He then discovers more about Mother Miranda's origins and even manages to save the real Mia, who had been kept prisoner and experimented on.Ī revived Ethan then continues his pursuit of Miranda, with Redfield helping Ethan in the fight. Redfield successfully arms explosives on the Megamycete, which is what is powering the black mold and Mother Miranda. Chris and his team infiltrate the village, gunning down all kinds of Lycans and other creatures. Rose is connected to the black mold from Resident Evil 7, which in turn is what has given Mother Miranda her powers and immortality, and so that makes her an ideal candidate for Miranda's dead daughter Eva.Īfter Ethan is seemingly killed by Miranda, players then take on the role of Chris Redfield for themselves. Mother Miranda was trying to kidnap Rose for herself, as she is trying to resurrect her own daughter using Rose's body as a vessel. According to Chris, who he thought was Mia was really Resident Evil Village villain Mother Miranda, who has the power to shapeshift into different forms. Ethan then sets out to look for Rose, investigating a nearby mountain village.Ĭhris isn't seen for most of the rest of the game until much later on, when he explains everything to Ethan. However, things go south when "Mia" reawakens in the transport vehicle and causes a wreck. Chris and his team then capture Ethan and Rose, Ethan and Mia's baby, and try to leave. Just like in the Resident Evil Village reveal trailer, the game starts with Chris Redfield arriving at Ethan Winters' house, gunning down Mia. For those who just want to know what is going on with Chris Redfield during the events of the game, just beware that there are MAJOR SPOILERS for Resident Evil Village ahead.
