A surfaced clip of Resident Evil Ada Wong actor Jolene Andersen that led some to believe the character was returning for a new project turned out to be a Cameo.
Over the weekend, a clip of Anderson – who played Ada Wong in Resident Evil 2 Remake – surfaced in which she gives well wishes for the new year before adding, "Speaking of missions, I’m getting ready to go on a very top secret mission myself. I’d love to tell you all about it, but uh… that information is classified. Now, I don’t want to be a rookie about it, because I wouldn’t want to end up like Ben, now, would I?"
Obviously, Ada Wong is known for being all-in on espionage throughout the Resident Evil series, so the "top secret mission" line had fans of the series interested, and with Ben being a reference to Ben Bertolucci – the journalist aiming to expose corruption within RPD found in Leon's campaign in both the original and 2019 remake who promptly gets got by one of the giant monsters depending on which game you play – it seemed like a direct nod at something, especially when the current rumor is that Ada will return for Resident Evil Requiem's upcoming DLC.
This story gained traction, with some taking it as confirmation that Anderson was returning to the role after Ada was recast in Resident Evil 4 remake. However, it's since surfaced that this clip actually emerged from a Cameo Anderson recorded, with the YouTube channel that uploaded the clip posting the full transcript in the comments.
Of course, there's still a good chance that Ada Wong will return for Resident Evil Requiem's DLC, especially since Ada is a constant in the games where Leon Kennedy features as a protagonist. However, the character was previously recast with actress Lily Gao – who also portrayed the character in the Welcome to Raccoon City film – so if Ada does come back, it's very likely that Anderson won't be included.
