Resident Evil fans are buzzing after Lily Gao, the voice and performance artist for Ada Wong, shared a series of intriguing photos on social media two days ago. The posts, which are still live, feature Gao alongside Nick Apostolides, the actor behind Leon S. Kennedy, sparking immediate speculation about a professional reunion.
The intrigue deepened with the fourth photo in the set, where Gao explicitly tagged two heavyweights from Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 Remake and Separate Ways production team: Producer Hiro Masuda and Capture Director Steve Kniebihly. The involvement of a capture director specifically suggests that Gao and Apostolides may have been back in the studio for new motion capture work.
While Capcom is officially focused on the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem (RE9), these hints align perfectly with a report from noted leaker DuskGolem 24 days ago, who claimed that “Ada Wong is very likely in RE9’s DLC.” If Gao’s tags are any indication, the mysterious “Requiem” might lean heavily on the established chemistry of the RE4 Remake cast. Whether this signifies a standalone Ada expansion or a crossover in the next mainline entry, Capcom’s production team appears to be keeping the franchise’s most iconic duo very busy.
