On May 24, Capcom released a UsefulNotes/CloudGaming version for the Platform/NintendoSwitch in Japan. A worldwide release for this version was announced in September 2022. %%This is a topic of much contention in the States, and we don't want any potential flame wars extending to TV Tropes.

* SympatheticSentientWeapon: [[spoiler:Eveline. She didn't choose to become a weapon out of some mad desire for power or vengeance. In fact, she didn't ''choose'' to be a weapon at all. She was made into a weapon while she was still a fetus. Despite her LovecraftianSuperpower, she still has the mentality of a little girl who only wants to be loved. All the death and suffering she caused was the result of her desire to have a family.]]

* {{Speedrun}}: Doing one is necessary to unlock the Circular Saw and X-Ray Glasses. A DownplayedTrope, thankfully, since the par time is 4 hours, which is quite generous and perfectly doable without requiring God-tier skills or exploiting various glitches.

On May 24, Capcom released a UsefulNotes/CloudGaming version for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch in Japan. A worldwide release for this version was announced in September 2022. %%This is a topic of much contention in the States, and we don't want any potential flame wars extending to TV Tropes.

On March 2, 2022, it was announced that the game will be brought to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation5 and UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS, with existing owners of previous generation versions eligable to upgrade for free. The PC version will be updated as well to take advantage of newer graphics hardware. The new versions and the PC update was released on June 13, 2022.

* ShortRangeShotgun: The M37. Outside of bad-breath distance, its wide spread will make enemies flinch but doesn't do heavy damage. Averted with the M21, which packs the same punch at longer distances as it does up close.

** The game is a little contradictory about whether the molded are, fungus-infested zombies created to be the "drones" of the {{Hive Queen}}'s family, or if they're actually a sort of fungal {{golem}}. In the guest house at the prologue, you can find a document with a list of names of people who've died or "turned" after exposure to the Mold. Likewise, before your first encounter with a Molded, you find a note on a whiteboard talking about successful and failed transformations, a topic repeated in the incinerator room. Finally, when you return with the D-Series Arm, you find Deputy Anderson's head, partially transformed into a Molded's head, in the trailer fridge. However, in the salt mine lab, you can find a part of a Research & Development Report that notes Eveline has the ability to form "organisms" by manipulating the mycelia (fungal filaments) she has extruded and allowed to grow across her environment, which are explicitly referred to as "the Molded". Files in the main game and the ''Not A Hero'' DLC confirms at least some of the Molded in the Baker mansion were once human transformed by Eveline once they don't satisfy her as members of her "family".

* * ArtisticLicenseArt: When the crew’s camera shuts off, it goes to a technical difficulty screen and plays the tune of an Emergency Broadcast System alert, which only occurs when the government sends a signal to televisions, phones and radios-not when an individual camera is damaged.

** The 44 Mag is the most powerful weapon in the game, able to instantly kill most enemies on any difficulty with a headshot. Shame you'll only get to fire it 10ish times if you make sure to check every nook and cranny for it's wellhidden ammo. Unless you have infinite ammo unlocked (I.E. you've already beaten the hardest difficulty) and intend to use it your antique coins are better spent on other upgrades.

** The ''entire'' game itself can be this in another perspective. At first, it seem to be a supernatural SurvivalHorror game until you get terms like "E-Series" and "D-Series". Until you reach to the tanker where you find out [[spoiler: Mia's real job was to transport Eveline, an E-Series BOW, to Central America until she goes berserk and kills everyone in the tanker. She also kickstarted the plot and infected many people as the Molded and turned the Bakers into superpowered cannibals and lured Ethan, Mia's husband, to Dulvey just so he can be her "father"]].

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The Japanese version of the game heavily censors everything surrounding the death of [[spoiler:Deputy David Anderson, from his head remaining in tact after Jack's assault, to a Polaroid of him with an "X" on it replacing his decapitated head in the fridge.]] Other minor details like the blood on disembodied limbs being recolored were also changed. To add to this, there are ''two'' Japanese versions of the game: a "normal" version that was heavily censored and [[UnratedEdition an 18+ "Grotesque" version]] that, while BloodierAndGorier than the "normal" version, is still censored.

* BossAlteringConsequence: During the fight against Jack in the garage, you can hit him with the car if you grab the car keys and turn it on. However, if you're not fast enough, he will instead get into the car and try to hit ''you'' with it. Either way, Jack will eventually hijack the car and crash it, setting himself on fire.

* HandCannon: During the final confrontation with Eveline the B.S.A.A. tosses Ethan a special handgun called the Albert-01 to kill her with. The handgun is in-fact Albert Wesker's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge", [[EquipmentUpgrade customized to use RAMRODS rounds for dealing with Bio Organic Weapons]]. It can be unlocked later as a standard handgun that uses 9mm rounds, but deals roughly the same damage as the Magnum, though it carries a measly three rounds in its magazine for balancing purposes.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: [[spoiler:In ''Not A Hero'', Umbrella sends Chris Redfield specifically to apprehend Lucas for questioning. However, Chris tries his damnedest to do so when Lucas kills four of his men. Unfortunately, he mutates to the point that the trope no longer applies, to the point Veronica changes the objective from capturing him to killing him]].

A direct sequel, titled ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'', was announced in June of 2020. On January 21, 2021, Capcom announced a release date of May 7, 2021.

* DaylightHorror: It's daytime outside during the demo. That doesn't help the inside of the house ''at all.''
