Every new trailer, bit of gameplay footage, and screenshot so far for the Resident Evil 2 Remake has set out to answer fan curiosity about what established characters and locations from the 1998 classic look like in their modern gory glory.
We’ve seen that Police Station, the streets of Raccoon City and been reintroduced to the new look Leon, Claire, Sherry, and the mutated William Birkin, and now we get a first look at a few more members of the supporting cast, including the fan favorite Ada Wong, who is sporting a much more reserved get up.
At Tokyo Games Show 2018, Capcom were introducing the Japanese voice actors for a variety of Resident Evil 2 Remake characters and showed off the first official glimpse of Ada Wong, Chief Irons, and Annette Birkin.
Chief Irons is an extremely creepy and corrupt head of the R.P.D. while Annette is a scientist and is also the wife of the man-monster William Birkin, and mother of Sherry Birkin. Ada is a mysterious and aloof woman who Leon encounters during his descent into Umbrella’s Bio-Weapon hell.
Oh, and the zombified dogs are back and looking quite gruesome.
There’s also a new story trailer that also shows Ada in her trenchcoat and sunglasses look. It’s a bit over the top in a 50’s spy kind of way and I genuinely applaud that.
The change of outfit is causing some grumbles with some fans, but there’s certainly no indication Ada isn’t going to be sporting another outfit closer to her red dress from the 1998 version. Anyway, we’ve already discussed why change is a good thing where Resident Evil is concerned.
Resident Evil 2 Remake will shuffle onto PS4, Xbox One, and PC on January 25.
