Resident Evil Requiem dataminers have seemingly found an alternate form of Victor Gideon that went unused in the final release.
Spoiler warning for the finale of Resident Evil Requiem to follow, so read no further unless you’ve beaten the game (or don’t care, either or).

In this version, Gideon’s final form takes on a chimera-like appearance, with multiple versions of his face, body parts, and snakes (which explains the snakeskin coat he’s wearing) protruding from the massive lump of flesh. There’s also another model of the character of Gideon missing an arm with a Sephiroth-like one wing sticking out, presumably making this transformation a bit gradual.
I obviously don’t know why Capcom decided against the new form, or how far into development it got, but Gideon being a Nemesis was undoubtedly one of my least favorite parts of Resident Evil Requiem. It was my personal “okay, this one too many” for Requiem’s nostalgia-filled moments, so it’s interesting to see it was seemingly not the original plan, although it’s a shame a far cooler form is now resigned to being hidden in files forever.
The clip of Resident Evil 2’s Ada Wong actor teasing the character’s return is a dud, as it actually surfaced from a fan’s Cameo request
