Earlier this month, Capcom unveiled Lady Dimitrescu, one of the primary antagonists in Resident Evil Village. The character quickly became a hit among fans, inspiring cosplay, fan art and more. Artist @Countgate on Twitter joined the club with an amazing piece of pixel art meant to evoke Marvel vs Capcom! In the photo, Lady Dimitrescu Gambit can be seen making short work and preparing to finish the X-Man with a claw hand held high in the air. This is a really cool piece, and one that shows how well the character fits into the fighting game franchise!
The art of @Countgate can be found below.

It’s amazing how good the character looks in the style of Capcom’s classic arcade games! From the artwork alone, it feels like Lady Dimitrescu would translate well as a 2D fighter. Of course, Dimitrescu would not be the first Resident Evil character to appear in Marvel vs. Capcom series does not appear, so it is quite possible that she could end up in a future subscription if her popularity continues after the release of Resident Evil Village. For now, fans will just have to wait and see what comes next for the character!
Despite Dimitrescu’s immediate increase in popularity, Capcom has yet to release much information regarding her character. The villain will clearly be a problem for protagonist Ethan Winters, just like her daughters; in Capcom’s recent Resident Evil Showcase, Dimitrescu’s daughters can be seen in plagues of locusts attacking the player! While the character will clearly be at the head of the specific group, the Showcase also revealed that Dimitrescu will respond to someone named Mother Miranda. It remains to be seen exactly who this figure is, but she must be quite intimidating when Lady Dimitrescu answers her!
Resident Evil Village appears May 7 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC. In the meantime, you can see all of our previous coverage of the game here.
