Ada Wong Was Cut From Resident Evil Village
The highly anticipated survival horror game Resident Evil Village has finally made its way to consoles. Featuring returning characters Ethan Winters and Chris Redfield, it seems the fan-favorite character Ada Wong was set to make an appearance but ended getting cut.
The Trauma Pack DLC, which players received for purchasing the Collector’s, Deluxe, or Complete Editions of Resident Evil Village, includes some concept art galleries. Titled “The Tragedy of Ethan Winters Artwork,” Ada is seen donning a black plague doctor-inspired outfit and armed with a crossbow. This is a pretty big departure from the red dress she is typically known for.
Remasters of Nioh are right around the corner. The first Nioh and Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition will bring the base games and all of their DLC together in upgraded next-gen bundles, but the question remains: Where does Team Ninja go after that?

Yasuda spoke to Shacknews in a recent interview that touched on the future of Team Ninja and the Nioh franchise on January 19, 2021. In said interview, Yasuda revealed that the launch of Nioh and Nioh 2 Remastered and Complete Editions will likely mark a stopping point on Nioh content as Team Ninja shifts attention to other projects. That said, Nioh 3 certainly isn’t out of the question.

Instead, hours before the reveal, SNK said that the event would be postponed until further notice. It is unclear if this was part of a social media blackout related to the domestic terrorist attack on the United States Capital Building or not, but the reveal did not take place. This morning however, SNK did reveal something else; the King of Fighters XIV Ultimate Edition trailer (that’s 14).
King of Fighters XIV is going on five years old at this point. There have been a bunch of updates, additional characters, and costumes since its launch, but invested fans probably already have that stuff by now, right? Well, if they don’t, now was supposed to be the time we see more of King of Fighters XV, so we are close enough to that game that fans would probably just wait for that. Ultim
