Resident Evil Lore - Every Scrapped & Cut Resident Evil Storyline Explained

Описание: Resident Evil has a graveyard of cancelled games, cut storylines, and scrapped ideas that were too dark, too controversial, or too ambitious to ever see release. Some were rewritten. Some were buried. And some only exist in leaked files and developer interviews.

I'm going through every major scrapped concept across the entire franchise, from Resident Evil 1.5's lost timeline to RE4's supernatural horror version, to the RE5 controversy that rewrote the entire game, to storylines in Village that were quietly removed before launch.

Starting with what Capcom erased:
– What Capcom has actively removed from Resident Evil history
– The first Resident Evil concept that was considered too dark to release
– Resident Evil 1.5: the nearly-finished game that was scrapped and rebuilt as RE2
– Events from 1.5 that were rewritten or completely erased from canon
– Monster designs Capcom thought went too far and never made it in
– The Raccoon City timeline that was almost canon before the rewrite

Then the cancelled survivor stories and timelines:
– Scrapped Raccoon City survivors who never made it into the final games
– Resident Evil 4's abandoned supernatural story with ghosts and hallucinations
– Why Capcom killed the horror in RE4 to save the franchise from commercial failure
– RE4's cut psychological horror arc focusing on Leon's mental breakdown
– Storylines from RE4 that were never finished or explained

Moving into the RE5 controversy and rewrites:
– Resident Evil 5's original darker story before the backlash
– The moral controversy over African zombies that forced Capcom to rewrite the game
– Wesker's alternate endings that were cut or changed
– Resident Evil 6's story that collapsed under its own ambition and scope
– Cancelled global apocalypse scenarios across multiple games
– Scrapped bioweapon programs that were deemed too extreme for the series

Then the modern era cuts and leaks:
– Resident Evil 7: the story concepts before Ethan Winters existed
– Storylines from Village that were quietly removed during development
– Characters who almost became canon but were cut before release
– Endings Capcom refuses to officially release or acknowledge
– Cut lore that later became canon in remakes or sequels
– Stories fans only know about through leaks, datamines, and developer files
Finally, the darkest material and the lost universe:
– The darkest Resident Evil ideas Capcom buried and will never release
– The alternate Resident Evil universe that never existed, different canon, different timeline
– Why some ideas were too controversial, too expensive, or too horrifying to pursue
This is built from developer interviews, leaked documents, beta footage, datamined files, concept art books, and piecing together what Capcom tried to make before changing direction. It's the complete history of the Resident Evil games and stories that never were.
