Resident Evil Villageis one of the most highly anticipated titles releasing later this year. With an unsettling atmosphere and setting, new characters to encounter, and the same control scheme and mechanics featured inResident Evil 7,Resident Evil Villagelooks to be a promising horror experience. However, Capcom has capitalized on the popularity of the game’s main antagonist.
Since being featured prominently in one of the earlier game trailers forResident Evil Village, Lady Dimitrescuhas been idolized by many on the Internet. While her connection to the overarchingResident Evilstoryline has yet to be explained, a number of fans have taken a great interest in the nearly 10-foot tall vampire lady.

On its own, this towel is impressive, but in terms of the ways Capcom has used Lady Dimitrescu’s imposing form as a way to promoteResident Evil Village, this is just the tip of the iceberg. In Hong Kong,Lady Dimitrescu is layered on top of double-decker buses, which serves as a gigantic ad forResident Evil Villagerolling around the city.
Capcom is certainly doing everything it can toindulge fans of Lady Dimitrescuin the days leading up toResident Evil Village’srelease. With the game launching in less than two weeks, players will finally get to experience the continuation of Ethan Winters' story that began withResident Evil 7. However, there are still a lot of questions that fans have on their minds going into this new game.
Resident Evilis a series that is known for its zombie horror, with every mainline entry in the series featuring these enemies to an extent. The fact thatResident Evil Villagerevolves so heavily around vampire and werewolf lore appears to be quite the departure from the series. How the events of this story will influence the story threads presented inResident Evil 7, such asUmbrellaand The Connections, ultimately remains to be seen.
Resident Evil Villagewill be available May 7 for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
