Capcom Unveils Life-Sized Lady Dimitrescu & Wesker Statues for RE 30th Anniversary

Capcom is celebrating Resident Evil's 30th anniversary in a big way, and we mean that literally. The publisher has announced that a special exhibition will feature life-sized statues of two of the franchise's most beloved (and lusted-after) characters: the towering Lady Alcina Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village and the iconic villain Albert Wesker. The display is set to be part of a dedicated anniversary exhibition, with the Shibuya location drawing considerable attention from fans eager to stand face-to-face (or face-to-chest, in Lady D's case) with their favorite characters rendered at full scale.

GTA 6 Locked to 30fps on Console, 60fps Deemed "Extremely Unlikely"

Video Games Chronicle was among the first to report the confirmation, noting that no performance mode is planned for launch.

Squadron 42 Delayed to 2027 to Dodge GTA 6's Launch Spotlight

Cloud Imperium Games has announced that Squadron 42, the long-awaited single-player spin-off to Star Citizen, has been pushed back to Q2 2027.
