My first exposure to the Resident Evil franchise came when I got my hands on Resident Evil 3: Nemesis from Capcom which was released in 1999 for Sony’s PlayStation. The third installment of the game follows Jill Valentine and it takes place about a day before the events of the previous game Resident Evil 2 and introduces us to one of my favorite characters in the franchise Nemesis. After the success of Resident Evil 2‘s remake that was released earlier this year, it seemed like only a matter of time before the third game also got the remake treatment.
Recently there was a leak of the Resident Evil 3 that showed off our first look at Jill Valentine followed by the announcement of the game as well as the game’s first trailer that was shown at State of Play. In order to make the characters more relatable to gamers, Capcom decided to use a model for Jill’s appearances and expressions. Via Instagram, Russian model Sasha Zotova, revealed that she was the prototype for Jill’s new look.
Zotova commented this about her involvement with Resident Evil 3:
“Dear friends, I am happy to announce that I became the prototype of Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 3 Remake. 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.”

Although this game play is said to be shorter, the amount of details that are being put into the characters gives us the idea that they want us invested in the characters for future games, which is very exciting. I look forward to seeing more of Jill’s new look as well as checking out the Resident Evil Resistance that will come bundled with Resident Evil 3.
