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.

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. The delay is being made deliberately to sidestep the enormous media and consumer attention expected to surround the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. In the words of the studio's leadership, there is "no way" they want to launch into the "attention buzz saw of GTA 6," signaling a frank acknowledgment that competing for eyeballs against Rockstar's blockbuster would be a losing battle for even a highly anticipated title like Squadron 42.

GTA 6 Still Has No PC Release Date, and PC Gamers Are Feeling Left Out

A fresh extended look at Grand Theft Auto 6 has done little to calm the nerves of PC players, as the massively anticipated title still carries no confirmed PC release date. Rock Paper Shotgun noted the irony of watching the breathlessly awaited new footage while being reminded that the game remains, for now, a console-first affair, with the outlet cheekily describing the reveal as "heavier on gabagool than expected." The extended showcase may have thrilled console owners, but for PC enthusiasts it was yet another reminder of their uncertain wait.
