Hello! Over the next few days we’re going to be going back over some of our favourite games and moments and themes and whatnot from this very strange year. We hope you enjoy looking back with us!
It started with a reveal that had the internet thirsting; it ended with voice actress Maggie Robertson winning best performance at The Game Awards. 2021 was the year of Lady Dimitrescu.
The tall vampire lady of Resident Evil: Village is truly the icon of the game – so much so that her infamy has transcended the game itself.
Lady Dimitrescu was first revealed at the Resident Evil Showcase in January of this year, and it didn’t take long for fans to collectively lose their shit. In fact, a few snippets of footage in a teaser before the event was enough to gain the…interest of fans.
“Well, well Ethan Winters. There you are,” she purrs, stooping through another doorway. Our response? Step on me, mama.
The hype and thirst for Lady Dimitrescu following her reveal was so strong that art director Tomonori Takano publicly stated her official height – 9’6″ to be exact – sending the internet into even more of a spin. It only continued once the game was finally released on 1st May.
