Ada Wong has been at the center of recent Resident Evil 4 discussions. Unfortunately, it has to do with the harassment the character’s voice actress, Lily Gao, has faced. She gets a lot of hate from idiots because the actress thinks the remake made the character too “broken”. The character will return as a separate how-to DLC that has not been officially announced.
However, we recently learned that Ada Wong was considered for the role in Resident Evil Village. Concept art included with the DLC revealed that “the initial plan was for a mysterious masked man to rescue Ethan. This was going to be Ada Wong investigating the town, but it was dropped due to several conflicting scenarios.” So, fans are discussing her possible role.
At r/residentevil, fans are discussing what Wong would have done if he had actually appeared in the game. While many of the comments were jokes about her flirtatious nature, others think she could have played a big enough role. There are several interesting theories about her involvement.
“Be mysterious. Try to get a sample of something. Attack Leon. I know Leon isn’t 8 years old, but Ada will still find a way to attack him.” Based on the initial description of the character, xvszero joked. Others, however, were disappointed not to see Wong in a standalone story that didn’t include Leon.
“I’m imagining a mysterious masked character who comes in and out of the story and helps Ethan from time to time. For example, when Ethan is first in the castle, instead of the usual amputation of his hand, a masked character appears and saves him. Later in the story, the mask comes off and Ada It goes back to being what it used to be: taking advantage of other people and stealing things.”
“If I had approached it, I’d have her do the part of Chris, albeit a little different. You still have to “help” Ethan behind the scenes, but manipulate him into getting rid of the cult of Miranada. Her whole schtick is that she now She’s getting more legitimate jobs from people like the BSAA who can use her skills without constant surveillance of the government that’s after her.
However, there were many comments saying that it was fortunate that she was not included. The main reason was that they thought Wong didn’t work well as a character on his own and only shines as the opposite force to Leon. “Ada is a good talisman for Leon. She is a cold, calculating mercenary. Leon is idealistic, joker and loyal to a fault,” added Kanin_usagi.
