Where Does It Fit In? – Shadows Of Rose DLC


The DLCs protagonist, Rose, is the daughter of Ethan Winters, the protagonist of the core game. Following on from Villages’ post-credit scene, Rose is now a teenager assisting Chris Redfield in his various exploits.

It looks like Rose has developed supernatural powers. Well, it’s more of a curse seeing as she’s setting out on a journey to get rid of it. The DLC is touted to send Rose into an alternate reality mixed with elements of the past. Capcom promised a “warped and twisted world of nightmares”, so it certainly sounds like promising content.
