Complete the DLC
Once you've cleared the base game, learn what happens to 16-year old Rose as she figures out who she is and how her father's legacy is passed down to her. The "Winter's Expansion" DLC is set to be released on October 28, 2022!

One thing you can set your sights on after clearing the story is to hunt any remaining trophies you have left to unlock. Many of these can be done before you finish the game, but alongside Challenges, there are more to get, especially if you missed some.
Destroy All the Goats of Warding
One of the most difficult of the collectible-type trophies is for destroying every Goat of Warding. Aside from the Village, most areas become inaccessible once you move on from them, so if you miss anything, you'll need to reload a save or play through the game again.
If you have any trouble finding them, we have a guide for the location of every Goat in the game.

Complete Challenges
By fulfilling each Challenge's requirements you can earn CP (Completion Points) that are used to purchase various things from the Extra Content Shop.
While all trophies are considered a Challenge, there are actually many more Challenges than trophies that you can complete to keep you playing the game.
Get High Scores in The Mercenaries
You can also unlock the Mercenaries, a game mode returning from Resident Evil 4 and 5. In this game mode, you must kill enemies within the time limit to accumulate points to unlock more stages and other goodies.
Depending on your score, you will be assigned a rank, and the rank you get determines your reward. There are also trophies tied to this mode so keep playing and aim for the highest score!

Unlock the Village of Shadows Difficulty
Harder Than Hardcore
The Village of Shadows difficulty mode is the hardest difficulty in the game above Hardcore. In previous games in the series, the hardest difficulty would make enemies stronger, decrease the amount of save points, or disable auto-save, so it's safe to assume things are similar this time around.
Unlock More Bonuses
| Bonus | Content |
|---|---|
| Extra Content Shop | Unlock Concept Art, Figures, and Special Weapons. |
| Concept Art | A variety of artwork created for the game, including characters, enemies, and more. |
| Figures | 3D models of characters and enemies. |
| Challenges | Complete various challenges that provide CP to use in the Extra Content Shop. |
After clearing Resident Evil Village, the Extra Content Shop, Concept Art, Figures, and Challenges menus will be added to the Bonuses menu on the title screen.
Concept Art and Figures can be purchased in the Extra Content Shop using CP earned by completing Challenges which you can continue to fulfill in subsequent playthroughs.
