Meet the face behind the face of the Resident Evil 3 remake's Jill Valentine. Like the characters from the previous remake, the game's leading lady got her looks from an actual model, who recently revealed herself to the world online.
Leaks of the Resident Evil 3 cover art gave audiences their first glimpse at Jill Valentine's new appearance, and the game's first trailer, which was shown at State of Play earlier this month, really let audiences become familiar with the character. It is apparent from the start that Jill looks different from the way she did in previous titles. This was a decision by Capcom to shift things in a fresh direction, using Sasha Zotova as the prototype for Jill's new appearance.
The model recently announced her involvement in Resident Evil 3 through her personal Instagram account, stating it was, "such an honor for me to work with Capcom and to be the face model of a cult character and join the RE family." Zotova also thanked fans of the character for their support and positivity.
Since the first trailer premiered, audiences have learned much more about the upcoming remake, such as pre-order bonuses, various achievements players can earn, and that the upcoming Resident Evil Resistance will be bundled with Resident Evil 3. It will provide more content to Resident Evil 3, as the game itself is much shorter than its predecessor. Packaging both games together will warrant the $60 price tag.
This new, asymmetrical-multiplayer title was announced in September, and will have a 4v1 structure that pits a mastermind against a group of survivors. In Resistance, players will need to work together, facing various traps and pitfalls laid out by the mastermind, in order to escape and win a match.
