Capcom announced that it was releasing Resident Evil Village DLC last June due to “popular demand.” It has remained in the shadows until Capcom’s 2022 summer showcase, where the company revealed more information about the upcoming expansion. This DLC will have three parts: Shadows of Rose, Mercenaries: Additional Orders and a third person mode. They will all be out on October 28th.
Shadows of Rose takes place after the main game and stars Ethan’s daughter Rose. He is trying to break free from the powers that be. To get rid of the curse, he “enters the consciousness of the Megamicet,” the bacterial superorganism that is the root of the series’ mold. He meets his doppelgänger in this warped space and fights enemies and his environment in a third-person perspective.

Mercenaries: Additional Orders is an arcade mercenary-based add-on that adds three new characters: Chris Redfield, Karl Heisenberg, and Lady Dimitrescu. They all have unique movements. Chris seems to use firepower, showed himself to Heisenberg summoning his own monsters, and it appears Dimitrescu uses his melee attacks and throws chairs. There will also be new stages.
Third-person mode is exactly what it looks like. Turn Village into a third-person game that most closely resembles the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3.

Capcom also recently revealed that Resident Evil Village would arrive on PlayStation VR2. The showcase did not reveal much more about it, but specified that the “main story” could be played, hinting that DLC mode and Mercenaries would not be part of this package. Resident Evil Re: Verse, the delayed multiplayer project, will also be released on October 28 along with the expansions.
