Twin ballerinas, Shadowheart and Ada Wong

At the beginning of January we traditionally publish the most striking cosplay of the past year. We bring beauties to your attention Baldur’s Gate 3 Atomic heart, Hogwarts Legacy and remake of Resident Evil 4, as well as heroines Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1.

Before release Atomic Heart seemed too ambitious for an inexperienced studio. To be honest, I didn’t believe Mundfish’s developers would be up to the task. However, they succeeded. The game turned out to be a high-quality shooter with mechanics BioShock in the setting of the retro-futuristic USSR.

Many images of Atomic Heart have become popular in fan culture. First of all, we’re talking about twin ballerinas. They appear in several cutscenes and act as the final boss. One of them was played by Lady Melamori.

Eleanor, the upgrade cabinet of the main character, who has the character of a voluptuous lady, deserves special attention. Alisa Arefieva made her cosplay. In terms of genre, this is not canon, but humanization. This is a special approach when an inanimate object or animal is depicted as a living person. Photographer – 412ART.

Many publications have recognized this the third Baldur’s Gate is the best game of 2023. And at the last The Game Awards it received more awards than any other project. In cosplay, the half-elf Shadowheart has achieved the greatest popularity. In this article we have taken the work of the French Cinderys.

We also want to highlight a tiefling girl named Karlach. Red skin and passionate temperament make the beauty incredibly exotic. Her image was brought to life by Nastya Volkova, also known as Svizee. Photographer: MIVA.

The remake of the third Resident Evil was criticized for its short length and cut levels. Capcom took fan dissatisfaction into account while working a new version of the fourth part of the series. The result is a flawless reissue of a classic. In fact, Resident Evil fans have embraced numerous changes from the original, such as Ada’s new dress. Her cosplay was made by Xenon.

But even though Miss Wong has been popular in cosplay since 2019, work in the image of Ashley Graham was previously virtually unheard of. And in 2023, many girls decided to try on the role of the president’s daughter. We want to celebrate the Peach Milky photo shoot. This beauty’s body was used to create a model of her heroine in the game itself.

Hogwarts Legacy turned out to be the best Harry Potter game ever. It cannot be called ideal – the developers clearly have something to work on. In the meantime, the game has become a must-read for fans of the films. Of all the characters, only Mirabelle Chesnoke has become popular in cosplay. The canonical image of a herbology teacher was brought to life by Alice01.

But in cosplay, the fanservice version of Mirabelle is much more common, with an unbuttoned shirt or a plunging neckline. A striking example is the work of Zhanna Rudakova.

The sixth installment in the Street Fighter series has, as expected, caused a stir among cosplayers. The most popular in 2023 were Cammy and Juri Han. The image of a British special forces soldier was brought to life by Helly Valentine. The girl showed her heroine in two outfits at once, classic and modern.

And the cosplay of the villain Juri was done by the leggy beauty Tniwe. According to the plot, her heroine is so strong that she could defeat Chun Li herself.

IN In the new part of the Mortal Kombat series, many villains turned out to be heroes. Not everyone liked these changes. We noticed that girls were less likely to cosplay as Mileena, who suddenly became kind and honest. And Princess Kitana is as popular as ever. A good example is the work of Vera Andreeva, better known as Oichi.
