Hi guys - Adam here - the guy that hosted this behemoth of a video! This video is an updated version of a previous timeline we made back in 2020 with loads more added in to accommodate new games like Resident Evil Village and its DLC, Shadows of Rose. It was made before Resident Evil 4 Remake came out though, so if that game retcons or refreshes any story elements, I guess I'll just have to make a third update at some point in the future. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy it!

If anyone actually thinks Albert Wesker is truly dead, they haven't been paying attention. You really think he would bet it all on a volcano fight? Even IF that was his original body, I wouldn't doubt he had clones of himself growing somewhere with an "if you're watching this, I died and here's what you need to do" video. Wesker will be back.

Another correction: The team sent by Umbrella to retrieve the G Virus from Birkin was instructed to capture him alive. In the RE2 remake, Hunk scolds Martinez for killing Birkin.

Even Netflix loves Leon.

Thanks for updating these timelines with each new release. It is cool to see how each game changes the history and lore of the franchise.

Thank you for all the lore and info in this video, it was really helpful especially since I only played a couple of the RE games. Also, I'm sorry I was looking at your Zelda poster and cannot unsee the disconnected frame. Love the video, good job!

Id love to see ashely make a cameo appereance in the next game. Working for blue umbrella or some other goverment agency like she told leon she would

In a way, both the originals and remakes are canon. There's always the plot-hole of who explored the mansion, Jill or Chris, but it was both in a way. Since they reported back after these events, there's multiple versions of the same story. Maybe it was the one in the Remake where they fought Crimson Zombies and Lisa Trevor, or maybe it was like Umbrella Chronicles that Jill and Chris were together the entire time. Same on RE2, we know the canon is Claire A/Leon B, but in Umbrella Chronicles, Leon and Claire crossed the same places together. So it's multiple ways to tell the events, maybe they remember each time differently due to severe PTSD. And yes, i'm making this argument because i refuse to accept that RE3 Remake events are canon over the original game.

Thank you, Adam! I have been intrigued by the Resident Evil story my whole life but my vision is poor and I can't handle jumpscares so I can't really play shooter games. I've watched over the shoulders of some but getting to hear all the juicy details is nice! Thank you so much

I wish you would have had the Lore from Resident Evil: Survivor in here! It explains where the Mr. X's come from and how they are made and its got some of the most brutal and cruel humanitarian atrocities of the whole series. And yes, its cannon. The game itself takes place after RE2, although not sure if it would be before or after Code Veronica, but the lore it reveals happens earlier before the first game.

@matthewconnors9256

Agreed. Also the Zoe and Baker story from VII was also left out sadly

Despite having little info you missed HUNK which we can pretty say his skill level of survivor is the same as some of the STARS members and because of him and his team killing Willian and stealing the G-Virus, because of it the T-Virus spread through the RC and it started the countdown of the end of the city and the beggining of RE3.

The only complaint I have about this timeline is that there were 3 games missing from the timeline: 1) RE: Outbreak File #1 2) RE: Outbreak File #2 3) RE: Survivor Additionally, there is also a game where you play as members of UBCS, as the unit Carlos Oliveira was a part of was not the the only UBCS unit Umbrella had sent during the Racoon Incident.

I hate how some people always say there are only 8 mainline games. There are only 8 numbered games, but as for "mainline" there are 12

The stars and raccoon city would always be the best memories of resident evil

Great video

I had to do my research on what was going on because I skipped almost most of the games and didn't know which game was the right game for the right timeline It was all confusing because you got RE 8 For the start but not the OG RE

albert isn't the only one who survived, alex also survived, spencer kept her closer than he did with albert

I swear if the guy who approaches the car at the end of Village is Albert Wesker… I’ll explode.

Thankyou i now understand the storyline

i watched this in attempt to make sense of the timeline but failed. this stuff's wacky but i love every bit of it

Wait, what about End of Zoe? You skipped the alligator punching.

I was really hoping for the explanation of Wesker’s son in this video but oh well. Maybe in the next one.

There is another RE movie in the timeline- Death Island, coming this summer taking place in 2015 after RE6 & Vendetta and before 7
