Resident Evil Timeline Explained Easily in a 40-Minute Video

Resident Evil has decades of games, a pile of spin-offs, and somehow it's all one connected story. If you've ever tried to piece together the Resident Evil timeline and ended up more lost than a rookie cop on his first day in Raccoon City, you're not alone. This video walks through every mainline game in story order, from Umbrella and the T-virus all the way to Resident Evil Requiem, so you know who's who, what happened, and why Wesker keeps showing up right when you think he's gone. Haven't played all the Resident Evil games? No worries. I stick to the big story beats without getting into all the details.
