Stranger Things Chapter 2 Nancy Wheeler supposed face rework?
So today on 06.01.2026 Bhvr added option to play newest ptb for Stranger Things chapter 2.
Upon opening new ptb i came across this:
I don't know why and what was the reason of changing nancy's face she looks odd she looks like she way fatter cheeks which is unfitting for Nancy and Natalia Dyer
Please dear Bhvr and Communuty let's unite and don't let this her new look in next update i don't wanna use the look i really fell in love by playing and maining her for years😥

Someone did a comparison between her new model, her original model and her face in the show, she actually do look much better now.
It's either her facial rig or lobby lighting that does her face dirty. Similarly to Rick Grimes' face.

I much prefer her original look but her hair looks way better now she looks way more cartoony than before and her portrait looks awful.

Even if her face looks better and more accurate why her cheeks are fatter than before and her chin looks odd compare to original.

Dunno, but they only really just need to tweak the model's facial rig a bit rather than revert it, as it's just the chin part that's somewhat off.

I believe this. Even when the DBD models are ported to other games like the Resident Evil remakes or Left 4 Dead 2, they look a hundred times better.

Her puffed cheeks is the problem as well as her portrait

Which again, is most likely as a result of the facial rig being bugged. Not because the model itself is the problem
Jonathan had a similar issue years ago with his facial rig, when his skin got released.

There are quite a few pictures of new Nancy without any animations on Twitter, and while it does improve her appearance by quite a significant margin, the cheeks are still too puffy, Natalia's cheekbones are one of her most prominent features, the new model fails to recreate this.
If they bring her cheeks in ever so slightly, and obviously fix her facial animations, the new model would look very good.

I think this conversation is forgetting that in all of the pictures from the show, Natalia is pulling a face, while the dbd rig she is in a state of depressed fear and without makeup. Besides that the Lobby light is well known for making everything look like garbage.
What productive changes could come from this convo is that BHVR should be better about lobby animations and lighting.
Besides the lobby is BHVR best place to sell a cosmetic, so why the lighting is so devastating to them is a mystery.1 -
well I kindly feel very disappointed as I heard about people commenting and complaining about her new face on social media.
like at least revert it back to normal or adjust some tweaks. for example like adjust her big cheeks and shrink her both eyes a little bit.0 -
Exactly new hair is way better than old but her chin is way to oval and her cheeks are for some od reason puffed compared to previous one.

Claire Redfield did too. Her actual facial textures were fine, it's like they just slapped them on Jill Valentine and called it a day. No, it was very much not a day. She looked terrible. But, once they actually went in and gave her a proper unique facial rig, now she looks great.
Here is a comparison. While you can see she's still not perfect to the Resident Evil 2 Remake (which is honestly more a case of RE2 Remake being a newer game overall, it just looks better) she looks a LOT better than she did on release.
