PayPalExcited to play Resident Evil Village? It may not support Linux but that isn't stopping Valve with a new Proton Experimental update out now.
The latest update to Proton Experimental 07/05/2021 has a single line added in the changelog which notes "Beginnings of Resident Evil Village support.". With that in mind then, Valve's partner CodeWeavers and their Wine hackers are already hooking up whatever they can to get it working.
From initial few reports, it looks like you can actually get in-game now thanks to Proton Experimental but there are plenty of issues like settings not being able to change and videos not yet showing up. So keep that in mind if you were planning to pick it up to play it on Linux.
Like a number of other big titles, it probably won't be too long before it becomes much more playable given the progress on the Proton compatibility layer.
If you're not clear on what Proton and Steam Play are, be sure to check out our constantly updated dedicated page. It's a special compatibility layer for running Windows games and apps from Steam on Linux.
You can buy Resident Evil Village from Humble Store and Steam.

And for the game proper you will need a mod to change the FOV because it's just silly narrow.

This year I've played through Resident Evil Remake as well as the remakes of Zero and 2. (thanks to GloriousEggroll) Leaving RE3 as the only game from the main series I haven't played yet.
However, given the poor reception that game has gotten I decided not to buy it until I could get it for 15 euro or less. So, by the time I finally buy it, Re:Village should be patched, fully working on linux as well as including some good dlc content. (fingers crossed)
