Resident Evil: The Story So Far

3 years 8 months ago

In the more 20+ years since the original released on PC and the original PlayStation, there have been nine mainline Resident Evil games - not to mention a few remakes and plenty of weird ports and wild spinoffs. Now that Netflix has announced a Resident Evil Series, we thought it was worth providing an up-to-date summary of the franchise’s story and take a look at just how Netflix’s eight-episode arc, focused on “the Wesker sisters”,  could fit into the established lore.

We’re only going to look at “core” games in the series (sorry Zombie Buster mobile games!), though it’s possible that the show will take inspiration from spinoffs or “non-canon” games as well (like the time Leon and Claire had to bust all those zombies). Given what we know about the Netflix series so far, though, we could be in for an entirely new spin on Resident Evil’s brand of survival horror as well.
