Duo, a mutated green owl and the mascot for language-learning platform Duolingo, had a reputation for being a maladjusted psycho online – until Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn declared earlier this summer that the company was "going to be AI-first" and sucked the fun from it. But there are few video games better suited to rotten corporate horror than Resident Evil, so it seems developer Capcom has (jokingly) given Duo a second chance at life by employing him as a biological weapon.
An Automaton spot and translation tells us the official Resident Evil brand account on Twitter recently posted an image of an abnormally muscular Duo edited into the Resident Evil remake, declaring him "Our new biological weapon. Go. Spread language learning to the world."
