Capcom’sResident Evilis certainly making the most of its 25th anniversary celebrations. Not only is the survival horror series getting a brand new title in the form ofResident Evil Village, but it is also making its presence felt in other franchises, such as Ubisoft’sThe Division 2, and soon in its flagship tactical shooterRainbow Six Siege.
As part of its flurry of new Year 6 content, GROM Attacker Zofia Bosak will be paying tribute toResident Evil‘s top-tier hero, Jill Valentine. Zofia’s new Elite skin will reflect Ms. Valentine’s classic look from her 1996 debut, complete with beret, finger-less gloves, and hefty shoulder pads. Given that Zofia is already handy with a grenade launcher, it’s a pretty snug fit. The kit will also include a matching charm, weapon skin, and win-pose.
This isn’t the first time a member of Team Rainbow got their cosplay on. One year ago, squad leaderAsh was gifted with the getupof none other than theTomb Raiderherself, Lara Croft. It’s certainly a surprise to see these guest characters come charging round the corner when playing online, but they’re very welcome inRainbow Six‘s evolving, comic-book style universe.
TheResident EvilJill Valentine Elite will arrive in-game later in 2021. A furtherResident EvilElite skin will arrive later in Year 6.
