Resident Evil Village Gold Edition will include Lady Dimitrescu as a playable character

Alcina Dumitrescu was one of Resident Evil Village's great hooks. Not only because of the fascination provoked and her particular magnetism but because we are talking about a formidable enemy no less than 2.9 meters tall. In the new Gold Edition, we will not only be able to put ourselves in their shoes but also see the game from her perspective.

On the occasion of ComicCon 2022, Capcom released a new trailer of the promised new Resident Evil Village content, focusing on the characters and new additional maps of the expanded Mercenary Mode - Additional Orders of the game.

The Winters’ Expansion is also included with the Gold Edition, which is due out alongside its release on October 28.

And yes, in addition to Lady Dimitrescu, we can play with other characters like Chris Redfield and Karl Heisenberg, but Lady D. has always been the fan favorite. There must be a reason, right?

What's new in the Gold Edition?

According to Gematsu, Capcom released a lot of information along with the new trailer, including key features and a deeper look at the downloadable content that you can read below:

''The Winters’ Expansion include a new way to enjoy the full campaign in “Third-Person Mode,” plus The Mercenaries Additional Orders, a major update for the action-packed The Mercenaries mode that introduces new playable characters, and finally, a continuation of the story arrives in Shadows of Rose, which picks up the plot 16 years after the conclusion of the main game. Resident Evil Village Gold Edition also includes a voucher for the Trauma Pack.''
