Resident Evil 4’s shady merchant is in the video game Hall of Fame, so it’s cute to see the character referenced in the all-new Resident Evil Village.

This will likely be one of many classic Resident Evil references fans will be able to find in the new game, and we’re looking forward to seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, the sequel will come packaged with multiplayer mode Resident Evil Re:Verse, which is being billed as a kind of 25th anniversary memento for longtime franchise fans.
