Players can also dual-wield weapons, store and retrieve items inside Ethan's coat, and perform a range of other tactile gestures such as unlatching doors and healing wounds with medicine bottles.
Resident Evil Village VR Mode also includes VR Tutorial and Shooting Range modes that demonstrate the new VR gameplay systems and provide a place for players to hone their marksmanship skills.
