Whether Resident Evil will go back to being more action-oriented than horror is a constant concern for fans of the series. The Village certainly does seem more action-packed and explosive than Re7. But Capcom has promised that it’s still very much a survival horror experience. In an interview, Games director Mori Masasato said that the Village won’t de-emphasize the horror elements in case fans are worried. He said：
As you know, one of the central themes of the Resident Evil series is horror or fear, and i would just warn you not to take anything you’ve seen so far as an indication that you can relax in terms of horror content. there are plenty of intense and horrifying scenes in the game, buy we’ve chosen to leave those for you to experience by yourself.
