Written by Liana Ruppert 
Well, well ... Ethan Winters. We've shared a few really cool Lady Dimitrescu cosplays in the past, but none can compare to the actual face model herself paying her own special tribute to Resident Evil Village.
Helena Mankowska provided the face of the Big Tall Vampire Lady that the internet fell in love with. So when she took her role to the next level with a full-on cosplay shoot, it's pretty safe to say that fans of this aristocrat were excited to see the character come to life.

The actress also showed off a close-up shot that honestly brings the terror of the Dimitrescu house front and center. With its moody lighting and sharp angles, it's easy to see her fall back into the role of the first real threat Ethan Winters encounters. Even if it is far from the last.

Even with the small video below, it's easy to see that the actress is having fun with it. It's always interesting to see the faces and voices behind iconic characters go all-in on the fandom love. You love to see it, even if we are wishing there was more screentime for our beloved vamp.

Coming in at over 9 feet tall, we couldn't help but to also poke fun at this fan-driven phenomenon with our annual April Fool's Game Infarcer coverage, including artwork that has the Big Tall Vampire Lady crushing Mr. X's frail-by-comparison body within her grasp.
Thoughts on Helena's Lady Dimitrescu cosplay? Thoughts on the character herself and her role in the latest Resident Evil game? Sound off in the comment section below and tell us all of those thirsty hot takes.

Click here to watch embedded media Dying Light 2 has been one of our most anticipated games ever since we saw it in action in 2019. Unfortunately, following a delay in early 2020, the information has been reduced to a drip, and fans have wondered if the project was in peril. Thankfully, developer Techland has been more communicative in recent months, and now, the Polish studio appears to be teasing an even bigger drop of information later this week.
The teaser video (above) shows a wall with the words "Are You Dying 2 Know More?" followed by a tease for a stream happening on the official Techland Twitch channel. According to the video, we'll be able to learn more about Dying Light 2 on Thursday, May 27 at 9 a.m. Pacific / 12 p.m. Eastern. No additional information was provided by Techland at this time aside from a cryptic message in a PR email.
Survivor,Remember Harran? Who could forget...
But The City is our refuge now, and it needs your help.
There's so much for you to know, and so little time, but these clues can't fall into the wrong hands.
Find somewhere safe and play this message. You're our last change for survival.
Above all...
Stay Human.
I was blown away by Dying Light 2 when I saw it in action at E3 2019. The action, the scope, and the world all impressed me, but I was perhaps most wowed by the ambition of how the studio is implementing choice and consequence into the narrative and game at large. Hopefully this new look on Thursday will give us more insight into all of those elements and maybe even an idea of when we can expect to play it.
Dying Light 2 was originally scheduled to launch in 2020, but not far into the year, it was delayed, with the studio saying it needed time to completely fulfill its vision. Following that, the studio largely went dark, delivering only small updates until the flow of information resumed recently. While the first game was a great twist on the open-world zombie genre, Dying Light 2 looks to bring the series and the genre to new levels.
Dying Light 2 does not currently have a release date. If you'd like to see a version of the demo that impressed us at E3 2019, you can get a look at the 26-minute video here.

Written by Oliver VanDervoortFuser Now Lets You Headline A Virtual Music Festival With New Diamond Stage
Written by Brian Shea 
When Fuser came out last year, we loved the magic it brought as it allowed players to weave together seemingly disparate tracks from a diverse set of artists and genres to create cohesive and entertaining mixes on the fly. While Fuser implemented some social functionality in game to let DJs showcase their favorite creations, developer Harmonix is taking things a step further with a free update available today.
Through the new update, Harmonix is delivering the biggest post-launch content update to Fuser yet. It all starts with the new Diamond Stage, a place where players can step in front of a large crowd featuring hundreds of other Fuser players and potentially thousands of Twitch viewers on a newly established Twitch channel. This special stage is run by Harmonix, offering players the ability to be featured in a high-visibility spot that is broadcasting 24/7 and garner a following if audience members like what they hear.
Click here to watch embedded mediaTo get on to the Diamond Stage, players must use the new in-game currency called Diamonds. Diamonds can only be earned through play, with no option to purchase them via microtransactions. Now, when players do anything in Fuser, they earn both experience and Diamonds; players can also earn Diamonds from being in the crowd of the Diamond Stage. Players can then use Diamonds to book primetime 30-minute slots on the Diamond Stage. The notion from Harmonix is that requiring players to use in-game currency they've earned will encourage them to follow through with the time slots they've booked. Up to four players can claim the same 30-minute slot on the Diamond Stage, with full crossplay creating a single stage for the entire Fuser community to populate.
If you earn Diamonds but aren't really the performing type, Harmonix is offering up other ways to burn that new currency. The new Diamond Shop delivers a new place to pick up new cosmetics and customizations, as well as new tracks to add to your mixes. This update also upgrades Fuser's social interface, giving improvements to DJ profiles, a better recommendation engine, and better search options that pull from metadata. Now, you can search for things like happy mixes or mixes that feature songs from the '80s, or even mixes that use specific effects. Finally, this update fully integrates Twitch Drops into the game, giving yet another avenue to earn in-game rewards when you watch other players onstage.

The Headliner Spotlight update is available today for free to all Fuser players, with everyone receiving an initial cache of Diamonds once they install the update. If you're more interested in hearing creations of others than jumping into the mix yourself, you can keep an eye on the Fuser Diamond Stage on the new Twitch channel. Fuser initially launched on November 10, 2020 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. For more on the awesome music mixing experience, head on over to our review.
