Andrew Lincoln’s final episode of The Walking Dead aired almost three years ago. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long, but a trilogy of movies was announced around the time of his departure.

While it’s safe to say that Capcom probably will never top their TV ad for the original Resident Evil 2, they can try with an entirely different route with Resident Evil Village.
