Resident Evil Lore: The Complete Timeline Leading Directly Into RE9 (RE1 To The Present RE9)

Описание: This is the complete Resident Evil timeline.

I'm not skipping anything. This goes from the Progenitor Virus discovery in Africa to the BSAA using bioweapons as soldiers in RE8. From Umbrella's rise to its collapse. From Raccoon City's destruction to the normalization of bioterror as a military tool. This is how we got here.

I. Foundations & Pre-Outbreak Era
Starting with the origins of bioweapon research. Oswell Spencer discovering the Progenitor Virus and founding Umbrella in the 1960s. Early human experiments through the 70s and 80s. The Spencer Estate and the first containment failures that went unreported. European shadow networks funding parallel research. The Arklay facilities getting built in the mountains outside Raccoon City.

II. The Arklay Era (RE0 → RE1)
The Arklay Mountain murders begin in 1998. Bravo Team sent in and immediately collapsing. Rebecca Chambers surviving the proto-outbreak on the Ecliptic Express. The Spencer Mansion incident with Alpha Team. Wesker's betrayal and his plan to harvest combat data. The mansion's destruction and Umbrella's first major cover-up.

III. The Spread Toward Raccoon City
Viral waste leaking into sewers and infecting the ecosystem. Raccoon City before the outbreak with hospitals and officials in total denial. Prisons, orphanages, and underground facilities already compromised while the public stays oblivious.

IV. Raccoon City Collapse (RE2 / RE3)
The first day of the outbreak. Jill Valentine hunted by Nemesis. Leon Kennedy's first night as a cop. Claire Redfield searching for her brother. The RPD's total failure. Umbrella's NEST facility running final experiments underground. Government intervention and the sterilization order. October 1, 1998: the city gets nuked.

V. Post-Raccoon World Response
Global fallout and Umbrella's public scandal. The corporation's collapse by 2003. Survivors being silenced or forcibly recruited. Bioweapons flooding the global black market with no oversight.

VI. The Bio-Terror Age (RE4 → RE6)
Las Plagas and the Spanish cult in 2004. Leon's transition into a government weapon. Tricell taking over Umbrella's research. Africa and the reclaimed Progenitor experiments in 2009. Wesker's death and the false sense of victory. The BSAA militarizing. Global bioterrorism becoming normalized by 2013.

VII. The Post-Wesker World
The power vacuum after Umbrella. Private militaries using bioweapons as standard assets. Black sites, failed containments, and buried incidents. The BSAA quietly corrupting from the inside.

VIII. The Mold Era (RE7 → RE8)
The Mold's origins and Eveline's creation. The Baker family incident in 2017. Ethan Winters and his exploitation by the government. Seizure of Mold research for military use. The Village, Mother Miranda, and the pre-Umbrella bioweapon roots in the 1900s. The Megamycete and living memory storage. Ethan's death in 2021 and Rose left behind.

IX. The World Leading Into RE9
The BSAA using bioweapon soldiers. The collapse of moral authority in bioterror response. Bioweapons becoming standard military tools globally. Corporate, religious, and state power all using the same research. The post-Village world state. What the world looks like at the exact start of Resident Evil 9 in February 2026.
This is built from every mainline game, spin-offs, files, CGI films, and cross-referencing timelines to create one unbroken narrative from 1960s Africa to 2026 America. It's the most complete RE timeline leading directly into RE9.
