In-Depth Look
Story
Everything kicks off when a mysterious body—showing signs of a strange, unknown disease—is found inside an abandoned hotel. FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft is sent to investigate, only to realize the scene is the same place where her mother died eight years ago. As Grace digs deeper, what starts as a routine case quickly unravels into something much bigger—one that ties back to the Raccoon City outbreak, the biological catastrophe that changed everything. Could this be the case that finally uncovers the truth—and puts the ghosts of that tragedy to rest once and for all?
Grace Ashcroft
While investigating a suspicious death at a government office linked to a mysterious new disease, Grace Ashcroft was abruptly called into Director Dempsy’s office and reassigned to a wider case—one involving a string of unexplained infections and sudden deaths. The most recent incident had occurred at the Wrenwood Hotel, the very place where her mother was killed years earlier.
Location
A midwestern city in the United States, Raccoon City once served as the headquarters of the global pharmaceutical giant, Umbrella Corporation. When a devastating viral outbreak turned its citizens into the walking dead in 1998, the government authorized a so-called “sterilization operation”—a missile strike intended to contain the infection. The city was wiped off the map overnight, and the truth behind the disaster was quickly buried under official reports and corporate cover-ups.
Gameplay
Experience the series' classic survival horror through combat, investigations, puzzles, and resource management. Gameplay allows you to freely switch between first and third-person views to face the horrors in a way that suits your playstyle.
