Russian model Sasha Zotova has confirmed that she is providing the likeness for Resident Evil 3 Remake protagonist, Jill Valentine. The character was previously played for some years by Julia Voth, who debuted in the Resident Evil Remake and continued for a number of subsequent releases, becoming a fan favourite in the process.
Resident Evil 3 Remake Reveals New Jill Model
Zotova posted the following statement on Instagram:
It is such an honor for me to work with Capcom and to be the face model of a cult character and join the RE family. Thanks to Jill Valentine fans for your kindness and politeness.
The remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is pencilled in for release on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on April 3, 2020. The game chronicles Valentine’s attempt to escape a zombie-infested Raccoon City in events that transpire 24 hours before and after Resident Evil 2, which itself was remade earlier this year to great success.
Much like the Resi 2 remake, this latest title will feature an over-the-shoulder perspective, and Capcom is expanding on many elements of the game, including the character of Dario and the classic Hunter enemies.
Pleasingly, the game’s producer has assured fans that Resident Evil 3 Remake will not be delayed, and is roughly 90% complete.
The original version of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was released for the PSOne back in 1999, and was ported to the GameCube, Dreamcast, and PC. Resi 3 was also the first entry in the series to introduce the popular Mercenaries mini-game.
Here’s the full blurb on Resident Evil 3:
Jill Valentine is one of the last remaining people in Raccoon City to witness the atrocities Umbrella performed. To stop her, Umbrella unleashes their ultimate secret weapon: Nemesis! Also includes Resident Evil Resistance, a new 1 vs 4 online multiplayer game set in the Resident Evil universe.
