Capcom are making literal big bad Lady Dimitrescu a wee bit shorter forResident Evil Village’s The Mercenaries Additional Orders DLC, out later this month. Game director Kento Kinoshita toldPolygonthat although playable Lady D is still taller than any other character in Mercenaries, she’s been shortened to “a little under nine feet tall” from hercanon heightof around nine feet six inches. Kinoshita also went into some detail about Additional Orders’ other characters, including punch-maestro Chris Redfield.

Whereas Village’s original Mercenaries mode limited players to Ethan Winters, The Mercenaries Additional Orders lets you step into the varying height shoes of Dimitrescu, Chris, and magnetic Nicholas Cage impersonator Karl Heisenberg. Kinoshita said these three each have their own flavour, with Chris merging ranged gun combat with close-quarters fisticuffs, for example. Heisenberg obviously relies on his Magneto shtick, while Dimistrescu is tall. That’s it, she’s tall. It makes her really good at throwing furniture.

Resident Evil Village Gold Edition is out on October 28th for PC and consoles, and includes The Mercenaries Additional Orders. If you own the base game then you can nab the Winters’ Expansion onSteamfor £16/$20/€20
