Resident Evil Village is about to launch on the PC and it unfortunately comes as no surprise, but more of a disappointment, that the game ships without any ability to adjust the field of view (FOV) on the PC.
But never fear, the PC modding community is here: Nexus Mods user Maceyaface has crafted magic with a very quick fix for the Resident Evil Village demo on the PC that provides an FOV slider that lets you adjust the field of view in real-time. There are separate FOV sliders for the base field of view, and the zoomed-in field of view while the mod will remember your last-set FOV options and auto-sets.
The FOV mod for Resident Evil Village has some limitations in the form of the cutscenes in the game not having their field of view adjusted.

FOV adjustment is a staple to PC gaming for me, I don't think I could play with a bog stock standard field of view. Give me 90-degree FOV or more, or go home, Capcom. That stuff might fly on a console, but give PC gamers the ability to tweak it out of the box.
