The Resident Evil lore you need to know before playing Requiem

If you play one Resident Evil game, you’ll probably find a story that’s easy enough to follow. Zombies, viruses, evil corporations — got it. If you play two Resident Evil games, your head will start swimming. Capcom’s survival horror series is one of the most complicated sagas in gaming. What began as a straightforward haunted house tale has morphed into a mess of characters, evil organizations, military factions, conspiracy theories, and more. Three decades of storytelling have all built up to Resident Evil Requiem, one of the series’ most complicated installments yet.
