Where the game's new lore really shines is in how it connects its new and weirder monsters like Salvatore Moreau's Lovecraftian creature, or Karl Heisenberg's Frankensteinian Tetsuo the Iron Man monster. They act as your more agile zombies while the vampiric moroaice are classic slow ones. Though their name implies a werewolf connection, the lycans are still more or less mutated humans in the same way we've had different kinds of zombies in previous games. The move towards lycans and vampires works so well because they still carry a sense of verisimilitude that tracks with our classic Resident Evil zombies. Village mostly leaves the zombies behind in order to focus on more classic monsters like lycans and vampires, with the player taking on the role of Ethan Winters in his quest to find his daughter, Rose, and murder everyone and everything that gets in his way. The title felt distinctly different from the zombies in previous games while still managing to explain it away as being pseudo-connected to the usual Umbrella shenanigans. This started with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which combined The Texas Chain Saw Massacre-style folk horror with the titular biohazards. Though that idea was deemed too outside of the survival horror that Resident Evil was known for at the time, Devil May Cry did end up becoming a successful franchise of its own, and Resident Evil 4 did end up becoming more of an action game, but it's Village that fully feels like the franchise going back to that initial pitch.
The first game in that franchise started out as a proposed idea for Resident Evil 4, with director Hideki Kamiya wanting to tell a more "stylish" and "cool" action game centered around a mystery surrounding the protagonist and his superhuman abilities (which the game would explain with biotechnology).
