How Can You Play as Lady Dimitrescu in Resident Evil Requiem?

Even though the release date of February 27, 2026, is still a bit far away, the hype for Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline entry in Capcom’s survival horror series, is reaching fever pitch. Whether it’s the fake leaks about Leon or the recent reveal of the Deluxe edition, everything is exciting.

Why is the deluxe edition creating hype? Because players can finally channel their inner vampire queen thanks to a Lady Dimitrescu outfit. Yes, that means you can have Grace Ashcroft, the new protagonist, don the infamous white gown and hat of the towering villainess herself.

While the towering vampire herself won’t likely appear in Resident Evil Requiem, players can still capture her sinister presence and, most importantly, that chilling elegance. That is happening because Capcom is giving us so much in the Deluxe edition.

The edition not only includes Grace’s Costume: Dimitrescu, but it will also bring 4 other costumes. Since that’s not revealed, Capcom is letting fans transform the new heroine into a stylish, hat-tipping version of the iconic villain from Resident Evil Village.

It’s pure cosplay, but it’s got fans thrilled to see the devs embracing its gothic roots. The edition doesn’t stop at costumes either; it includes our weapon skins, two visual filters, two collectible charms, a nostalgic Raccoon City Classic audio pack, and a lore-based file set titled “Letters from 1998.”

Another standout item from the deluxe set is the Mr. Raccoon Charm, which is a direct callback to Resident Evil 2. This shows that developers are taking a new route, but they remember the past and are looking to blend nostalgia with fresh content.

Why Lady Dimitrescu’s Outfit Has Fans Talking

Every once in a while, players will encounter a villain that is just pure class and has that certain gravitas. Lady Dimitrescu was one of them. She became an instant sensation when she debuted in Resident Evil Village (2021).

You can say it was stature, as she stands over nine feet tall, with a stylish white dress and then a life hat. She was an aristocratic vampire who ruled Castle Dimitrescu with what you expect: icy grace and terrifying power.

All of these qualities made her one of the franchise’s most recognizable villains. That’s why her return, even as a mere costume, has sparked such excitement.

In a way, it’s a love letter to fans who adored her and a clever nod to Resident Evil’s legacy of unforgettable characters. Grace Ashcroft may be the series’ new face, but slipping into her heels lets players relive the grandeur and danger of the franchise.
