New Mod Ports Lady Dimitrescu Over to Resident Evil 2 Remake

A modder ports RE8's Lady Dimitrescu to the PC version of Resident Evil 2 Remake not long after doing the same thing for RE3 Remake.

It's been several months since Lady Dimitrescu was unveiled to the gaming world, and just over a week since Resident Evil Village was launched, and fans still have not grown tired of her yet. Recently, someone replaced Jill's character model in Resident Evil 3 Remake with Dimitrescu, and now that same person has ported her over to Resident Evil 2 Remake.

Uploading the mod just a few days ago, user Raq says the mod essentially replaces Claire Redfield's and Elza Walker's character models and clothing with Dimitrescu's own outfit. They've also added "cloth physics" to her dress. Similar to the RE3 mod, this one shrinks her down to the sizes of Resident Evil 2 Remake's original characters, which means players won't get to play as the 9ft figure, but it will still feel as though fans are in control of her.

Given her stature, some have asked on the mod page whether there may be the potential for her to replace RE's Mr X at some point. Given that both Lady Dimitrescu and Mr. X function in similar ways in their respective games, an add-on which replaces the latter's model with the formers is arguably something the fan base at large would love to see. Although it may seem a little pointless when fans who want to be chased by the matriarchal figure can already do so in Village.

This is also not the first time a mod for Resident Evil 2 Remake has allowed players to take control of someone outside the RE universe. Back in January 2020, a modder created a way for fans to play as Geralt from The Witcher series. The modding community is constantly hard at work devising new ways to mix game universes, so it remains to be seen what other ways such talented people will bring franchises together or intentionally mess with RE's canon in hilarious ways.

With Village being one of the most talked about games at the moment, and for good reason as well, it's arguably the inclusion of the 9ft voluptuous villain that is partly responsible for so much hype around the game prior to release. Such reverence of her has even expanded beyond gaming. Recently, Lady Dimitrescu appeared in a Domino's Pizza ad. Despite her role as a villain and a threat, it seems fans are more enamored with her than scared, and if this RE2 Remake, and the RE3 one as well, proves anything, it's that people are also keen to step in her shoes as well be stepped on by them.

Resident Evil Village is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
