The development of the first ''[[Resident Evil (1996 video game)|Resident Evil]]'', released as ''Biohazard'' in Japan, began in 1993 when [[Capcom]]'s [[Tokuro Fujiwara]] told [[Shinji Mikami]] and other co-workers to create a game using elements from Fujiwara's 1989 game ''[[Sweet Home (video game)|Sweet Home]]''.<ref name="Gamespot-Mikami">[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/resident-evil-creator-shinji-mikami-reflects-on-th/1100-6435918/ Resident Evil Creator Shinji Mikami Reflects on the Series' Roots], [[GameSpot]] (March 22, 2016)</ref><ref>[http://www.computerandvideogames.com/281325/features/time-machine-sweet-home/ Time Machine: Sweet Home], ''[[Computer and Video Games]]''</ref> When in late 1994 marketing executives were setting up to release ''Biohazard'' in the United States, it was pointed out that securing the rights to the name ''Biohazard'' would be very difficult as a DOS game had been registered under that name, as well as a New York hardcore punk band called [[Biohazard (band)|Biohazard]]. A contest was held among company personnel to choose a new name; this competition turned up ''Resident Evil'', the name under which it was released in the west.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/gr-asks-why-was-biohazard-renamed-resident-evil/|title=GR Asks: Why was Biohazard renamed Resident Evil?|website=[[GamesRadar+]]|date=April 8, 2009}}</ref> ''Resident Evil'' made its debut on the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] in 1996 and was later ported to the [[Sega Saturn]].

A port of ''Resident Evil 2'' was released for the [[Nintendo 64]]. In addition, ports of all three were released for [[Microsoft Windows]]. The fourth game in the series, ''[[Resident Evil – Code: Veronica]]'', was developed for the [[Dreamcast]] and released in 2000, followed by ports of ''Resident Evil 2'' and ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. ''Resident Evil – Code: Veronica'' was later re-released for Dreamcast in Japan in an updated form as ''Code: Veronica Complete'', which included slight changes, many of which revolved around story cutscenes. This updated version was later ported to the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[GameCube]] under the title ''Code: Veronica X''.
Despite earlier announcements that the next game in the series would be released for the PlayStation 2, which resulted in the creation of an unrelated game titled ''[[Devil May Cry]]'', series' creator and producer Shinji Mikami decided to make the series exclusively for the GameCube.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/action/residentevil/review.html |title=Resident Evil for GameCube Review |website=GameSpot |date=April 29, 2002}}</ref> The next three games in the series—a [[Resident Evil (2002 video game)|remake of the original ''Resident Evil'']] and the prequel ''[[Resident Evil Zero]]'', both released in 2002, as well as ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' (2005)—were all released initially as GameCube exclusives. ''Resident Evil 4'' was later released for Windows, PlayStation 2, and [[Wii]].
A trilogy of [[GunCon]]-compatible [[light gun]] games known as the ''Gun Survivor'' series featured [[first person (video games)|first-person]] gameplay. The first, ''[[Resident Evil Survivor]]'', was released in 2000 for the PlayStation and PC but received mediocre reviews.<ref>{{cite web |website=IGN |url=http://psx.ign.com/articles/163/163923p1.html |title=''Resident Evil Survivor'' Review |date=September 14, 2000 |access-date=January 27, 2006 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/65OO1qGHJ?url=http://psx.ign.com/articles/163/163923p1.html |archive-date=February 12, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The subsequent games, ''[[Resident Evil Survivor 2 – Code: Veronica]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil: Dead Aim]]'', fared somewhat better.<ref>{{cite web |website=GameSpot |url=http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/residentevildeadaim |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050208233247/http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/residentevildeadaim/ |archive-date=February 8, 2005 |title=''Resident Evil: Dead Aim'' Review |date=June 16, 2003 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> ''Dead Aim'' is the fourth ''Gun Survivor'' game in Japan, with ''Gun Survivor 3'' being the ''[[Dino Crisis]]'' spin-off ''[[Dino Stalker]]''. In a similar vein, the ''Chronicles'' series features first-person gameplay, albeit on an on-rails path. ''[[Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles]]'' was released in 2007 for the Wii, with a sequel, ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles]]'' released in 2009 (both were later ported to the PlayStation 3 in 2012).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/resident-evil-chronicles-hd-collection|title=Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection|work=metacritic.com}}</ref> Also in 2009, ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'' was released for [[PlayStation 3]], [[Windows]] and [[Xbox 360]], becoming the best selling game of the franchise despite mixed fan reception.
''[[Resident Evil Outbreak]]'' is an [[online game]] for the PlayStation 2, released in 2003, depicting a series of episodic storylines in Raccoon City set during the same period as ''Resident Evil 2'' and ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It was the first in the series and the first survival horror title to feature [[Cooperative video game|cooperative gameplay]].<ref name="reeves1">{{cite magazine|last=Reeves|first=Ben|title=Guinness World Records 2012 Gamer's Edition Preview|url=http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/12/30/guinness-world-records-2012-gamer-s-edition-preview.aspx|magazine=[[Game Informer]]|access-date=December 31, 2011|date=December 30, 2011}}</ref> It was followed by a sequel, ''[[Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2|Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2]]''. Raccoon City is a metropolis located in the Arklay Mountains of the Midwestern United States that succumbed to the deadly T-virus outbreak and was consequently destroyed via a nuclear missile attack issued by the United States government. The town served as a critical junction for the series' progression as one of the main catalysts to Umbrella's downfall and the entry point for some of the series' most notable characters.
''[[Resident Evil Gaiden]]'' is an [[action-adventure game]] for the [[Game Boy Color]] featuring a [[Role-playing video game|role-playing]]-style combat system. There have been several downloadable [[Mobile games in the Resident Evil series|mobile games]] based on the ''Resident Evil'' series in Japan.

In 2013, producer Masachika Kawata said the ''Resident Evil'' franchise would return to focus on elements of horror and suspense over action, adding that "survival horror as a genre is never going to be on the same level, financially, as shooters and much more popular, mainstream games.

{{See also|List of Resident Evil characters}}
[[File:Umbrella Corporation logo.svg|thumb|right|Logo for [[Umbrella Corporation]], a prominent antagonistic faction in the franchise.]]
Earlier installments in the franchise primarily concerns a group of people who battle against the [[Umbrella Corporation]], a pharmaceutical company which develops the T-virus and other [[mutagen]]s for their secret "bio-organic weapons" research. The mutagens can transform humans into [[zombies in Resident Evil|zombie]]s as well as mutate other animals and plants into horrifying monsters.<ref name="RE-story">{{cite news |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/resident-evil-story-synopsis-plot-summary-lore-explained |title=Resident Evil: The Story So Far |work=IGN |date=2020-08-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200907140658/https://www.ign.com/articles/resident-evil-story-synopsis-plot-summary-lore-explained |archive-date=2020-09-07 |access-date=2020-11-13 }}</ref>
The original game and many franchise entries are set in and around Raccoon City, a fictional [[Midwestern United States|midwestern]] American city. The city and its outlying areas house several [[bioengineering]] laboratories belonging to the Umbrella Corporation, which develop viruses intended for use in [[biological warfare]]. One of the laboratories, unnamed throughout the video game series and referred to as "The Hive" in the film adaptations, is located underneath Raccoon City and is where the T-virus is developed. As Umbrella's mutagen testing grows in scale and the virus has leaked into Raccoon City, STARS officers and other characters fight through the monsters ravaging the city to investigate Umbrella's involvement in the disaster. Raccoon City is ultimately destroyed by a thermobaric missile strike initiated by the United States government to contain the viral outbreak.<ref>{{cite book |author=Damien Waples |title=Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles Official Game Guide |publisher=[[Prima Games]] |location=California, United States |isbn=978-0-761-55845-3 |pages=58–73 |date=2007-11-13 }}</ref> An ensuing government investigation leads to Umbrella's downfall. However, the proliferation of Umbrella's biological weapons and viruses leads to other outbreaks across the world. The protagonists of each subsequent entry continue to fight new factions that engage in bio-terrorism and also face new types of creatures.<ref name="RE-story" />
Several major characters are members of Raccoon City's [[police tactical unit]], [[STARS (Resident Evil)|STARS]], including [[Chris Redfield]], [[Jill Valentine]], and [[Rebecca Chambers (character)|Rebecca Chambers]]. The head of the STARS department is [[Albert Wesker]], who also [[double agent|secretly works]] for Umbrella and is a primary antagonist in the series. Other notable characters of the franchise include police officer and later US special agent [[Leon S. Kennedy]], Chris' sister [[Claire Redfield]], [[Industrial espionage|corporate spy]] [[Ada Wong]], and systems engineer [[Ethan Winters]].
==Gameplay==
The ''Resident Evil'' franchise has had a variety of control schemes and gameplay mechanics throughout its history. Puzzle-solving has figured prominently throughout the series.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3332740/whats-memorable-resident-evil-puzzle/|title=What's the Most Memorable 'Resident Evil' Puzzle?|publisher=Bloody Disgusting|first1=Adam|last1=Dodd|date=February 24, 2015|access-date=December 19, 2018}}</ref>
===Tank controls===
The first game introduced a control scheme that the player community has come to refer to as "[[tank controls]]" to the series. In a game with tank controls, players control movement relative to the position of the [[player character]], rather than relative to the fixed [[Virtual camera system|virtual camera]] from which the player views the current scene.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=https://www.pcgamer.com/a-eulogy-for-tank-controls/|title=A eulogy for tank controls|date=20 February 2015|work=[[PC Gamer]]|access-date=5 March 2018|language=en}}</ref> Pressing up (for example on a [[D-pad]], [[analog stick]], or [[Arrow keys|cursor movement keys]]) on the [[game controller]] moves the character in the direction being faced, pressing down backpedals, and left and right rotates the character.<ref name=":0" /> This can feel counter-intuitive when the character is facing the camera, as the controls are essentially reversed in this state. This differs from many 3D games, in which characters move in the direction the player pushes the controls from the perspective of the camera.<ref name=":0" /> Some critics have posited that the control scheme is intentionally clumsy, meant to enhance stress and exacerbate difficulty.<ref name=historyofRE>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjkr-8lrK2w| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/Xjkr-8lrK2w| archive-date=2021-12-11 | url-status=live|title=The History of Resident Evil|website=GameSpot|date=August 13, 2016|access-date=December 6, 2018}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
While the first three entries in the series featured this control scheme, the third, ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', saw some action-oriented additions. These included a 180 degree turn and dodge command that, according to ''[[GameSpot]]'', "hinted at a new direction that the series would go in." Later games in the series, like ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', would feature a more fluid over-the-shoulder third-person camera instead of a fixed camera for each room, while ''[[Resident Evil 7]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil Village]]'' are played from the [[First-person (video games)|first-person perspective]].
===Third-person shooter gameplay===
''Resident Evil 4'' saw significant changes to the established gameplay, including switching from [[Virtual camera system#Third-person view|fixed camera perspectives to a tracking camera]], and more action-oriented gameplay and mechanics. This was complemented by an abundance of ammunition and revised aiming and melee mechanics. Some critics claimed that this overhauled control scheme "made the game less scary."<ref name="historyofRE" /> The next two games in the franchise furthered the action-oriented mechanics: ''Resident Evil 5'' featured cooperative play and added strafing, while ''Resident Evil 6'' allowed players to move while aiming and shooting for the first time, fully abandoning the series' signature tank controls.<ref name="historyofRE" />
===First-person gameplay and VR===
''Resident Evil 7'' is the first main ''Resident Evil'' game to use the first-person perspective and to use [[virtual reality]]. It drew comparisons to modern survival horror games such as ''[[Outlast]]'' and ''[[P.T. (video game)|PT]]''.<ref name="historyofRE" /> The eighth main-series game, ''[[Resident Evil Village]]'', also features a first-person perspective.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.polygon.com/2021/1/21/22243195/resident-evil-village-first-gameplay-details-capcom |title=Resident Evil Village has a Resident Evil 4-style inventory and merchant |last=McWhertor |first=Michael |date=January 21, 2021 |website=TheVerge.com |publisher=The Verge |access-date=January 22, 2021}}</ref> A VR version of ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' was released on the [[Oculus Quest 2]] on October 21, 2021.<ref>{{cite news|last=Robertson|first=Adi|date=September 27, 2021|title=''Resident Evil 4 VR'' is launching October 21st, but only on Oculus Quest 2|work=[[The Verge]]|url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/27/22692268/resident-evil-4-vr-capcom-oculus-quest-2-release-date|accessdate=November 5, 2021}}</ref>

=== Television ===
{{Main|Resident Evil (TV series)|Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness}}
[[Constantin Film]] was in development of a ''Resident Evil'' animated series in 2005, intended as a spin-off of ''Resident Evil: Apocalypse'' which would continue Alice and Jill's adventures in the event Sony turned down work on a third film. When ''Resident Evil: Extinction'' was greenlit, this project was abandoned. A second attempt at a TV series arose in 2014; owing to a deterioration in Constantin's relationship with Sony Pictures over the cancellation of ''[[The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes (unproduced film)|Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes]]'' and Sony Pictures Television's disinterest in the ''Shadowhunters'' series, Constantin began shopping around for alternate financiers with the intention it begin production following the release eof ''[[Resident Evil: The Final Chapter]]''.
Work renewed on the television show project in late 2018 following the cancellation of ''Shadowhunters'', with Constantin approaching Netflix to finance the film, with production outsourced to Moonlighting Film, their South Africa partner on ''The Final Chapter''. The series was formally announced in 2020, having been greenlit as an eight episode series with each episode one hour in length.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Patches|first=Matt|date=2020-08-27|title=Resident Evil live-action series confirmed by Netflix with first details|url=https://www.polygon.com/2020/8/27/21403542/resident-evil-netflix-show-plot-characters-wesker|access-date=2020-08-27|website=Polygon|language=en}}</ref> [[Andrew Dabb]] was hired as Showrunner alongside a number of other Netflix projects.

''Resident Evil Archives'' is a reference guide of the ''Resident Evil'' series written by staff members of Capcom. It was translated into English and published by [[BradyGames]]. The guide describes and summarizes all of the key events that occur in ''[[Resident Evil Zero]]'', ''Resident Evil'', ''Resident Evil 2'', ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', and ''Code: Veronica''. The main plot analysis also contains character relationship charts, artwork, item descriptions, and file transcripts for all five games. <!-- One part of the guide replaces all instances of the word "biohazard" with "Resident Evil," even when the situation didn't warrant it (resulting in such goofs such as the UBCS being referred to as the "Umbrella Resident Evil Countermeasure Service" at one point), as well as typos and spelling errors throughout. A second Archives book was later released in December 2011 and covered ''Resident Evil 4'', ''Resident Evil 5'', the new scenarios detailed in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' and ''Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles'', and the 2008 CGI movie, ''Resident Evil: Degeneration''. The second Archives volume was translated by Capcom and published by BradyGames. --> A second Archives book was later released in December 2011 and covers ''Resident Evil 4'', ''Resident Evil 5'', the new scenarios detailed in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' and ''Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles'', and the 2008 CGI movie, ''Resident Evil: Degeneration''.

=== Novels ===
The first ''Resident Evil'' novel was Hiroyuki Ariga's novella ''Biohazard: The Beginning'', published in 1997 as a portion of the book ''The True Story of Biohazard'', which was given away as a pre-order bonus with the Sega Saturn version of ''Biohazard''. The story serves as a prelude to the original ''Resident Evil'', in which Chris investigates the disappearance of his missing friend, Billy Rabbitson.
[[S. D. Perry]] has written novelizations of the first five games, as well as two original novels taking place between games. The novels often take liberties with the games' plot by exploring events occurring outside and beyond the games. This often meant that the games would later contradict the books on a few occasions.<ref>For example, the novel ''Underworld'' suggested that Raccoon City was destroyed during an accidental fire after the events of ''City of the Dead'', whereas in ''Resident Evil 3'' it is revealed that the city was destroyed by a nuclear missile launched by the government.</ref> One notable addition from the novels is the original character Trent, who often served as a mysterious behind-the-scenes string-puller who aided the main characters. Perry's novels were translated and released in Japan with new cover arts by Wolfina.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wolfina.com/snake-heart/ |title=Snake Heart |language=ja}}</ref> Perry's novels, particularly ''The Umbrella Conspiracy'', also alluded to events in ''Biohazard: The Beginning'', such as the disappearance of Billy Rabbitson and Brian Irons' bid to run for Mayor. A reprinting of Perry's novels with new cover artwork began in 2012 to coincide with the release of ''[[Resident Evil: Retribution]]'' and its respective novelization.
There are a trilogy of original ''Biohazard'' novels in Japan. {{Nihongo|'' Hokkai no Yōjū''|北海の妖獣||lit. "The Strange Beast of the North Sea"}} was published in 1998 and was written by Kyū Asakura and the staff of Flagship. Two additional novels were published in 2002, ''To the Liberty'' by Sudan Kimura and ''Rose Blank'' by Tadashi Aizawa. While no official English translation of these novels has been published yet, the last two books were translated into German and published in 2006.
Novelizations of three of the six Paul Anderson films; ''Genesis'', ''Apocalypse'', and ''Extinction'', were written by [[Keith DeCandido]]. ''Afterlife'' did not receive a novelization due to Capcom's decision to discontinue working with [[Pocket Books]], who had been their primary source of publishing books up to that point, Capcom would later make [[Titan Books]] their primary publisher going forth. ''Retribution'' was written by [[John Shirley]], while ''The Final Chapter'' was written by [[Tim Waggoner]]. ''Genesis'' was published over two years after that film's release and coincided with the publication of ''Apocalypse'', ''Genesis'' being marketed as a prequel to ''Apocalypse'', while the ''Extinction'' novel was released in late July 2007, two months before the film's release. ''The Final Chapter'' was published in December 2016 alongside the film's theatrical release. There was also a Japanese novelization of the first film, unrelated to DeCandido's version, written by Osamu Makino. Makino also wrote two novels based on the game ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''. The books are a two-part direct novelization of the game and are published in Japanese and German only. The first novel, titled ''Biohazard: The Umbrella Chronicles Side A'' in Japan and ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles 1'' in Germany, was released on December 22, 2007. The second novel, titled ''Biohazard: The Umbrella Chronicles Side B'' in Japan and ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles 2'' in Germany, was published in January 2008.
=== Comics ===
In 1997, [[Marvel Comics]] published a single-issue prologue comic based on the original ''Resident Evil'', released through a promotional giveaway alongside the original PlayStation game.
In 1998, [[WildStorm]] began producing a monthly comic book series based on the first two games, titled ''Resident Evil: The Official Comic Magazine'', which lasted five issues. The first four issues were published by [[Image Comics|Image]], while Wildstorm themselves published the fifth and final issue. Each issue was a compilation of short stories that were both adaptations of events from the games and related side stories. Like the Perry novels, the comics also explored events occurring beyond ''Resident Evil 2'' (the latest game during the series' publication) and thus were contradicted by later games. Wildstorm also published a four-issue miniseries titled ''Resident Evil: Fire & Ice'', which depicted the ordeal of Charlie Team, a third STARS team created specifically for the comic. In 2009, Wildstorm reprinted ''Fire & Ice'' in a trade paperback collection.<ref>{{cite news|date=February 7, 2009|title=NYCC '09 – Wildstorm Panel with Jim Lee|work=[[Newsarama]]|url=http://www.newsarama.com/comics/090207-nycc09-widlstorm.html}}</ref>
In Hong Kong, there has been officially licensed ''Biohazard'' [[manhua]] adaptations of ''Biohazard 0'' by publisher Yulang Group, ''Biohazard 2'' by Kings Fountain, ''Biohazard 3 Supplemental Edition'' by Cao Zhihao and, ''Biohazard 3'', and ''Code: Veronica'' by Lee Chung Hing published by Tinhangse Publishing. The latter was translated into English and distributed by Wildstorm as a series of four graphic novel collections.
In 2009, Wildstorm began publishing a comic book prequel to ''Resident Evil 5'', titled ''Resident Evil'', which centers around two original members of the BSAA named Mina Gere and Holiday Sugarman. Written by Ricardo Sanchez and illustrated by Kevin Sharpe and Jim Clark, the first issue was published on March 11, 2009. On November 11, 2009, the third issue was released, and the fourth was released March 24, 2010. The sixth and final book was finally published in February 2011.<ref name="Wildstormre5">{{cite web|title=''Resident Evil'' solicitations at DC Comics website.|url=http://www.dccomics.com/wildstorm/comics/?cm=11359}}</ref>
=== Plays ===
In the summer of 2000, ''Bioroid: Year Zero'' was performed in Japan. It was a musical horror-comedy but took the perspective of the infected. Super Eccentric Theater put on the production under the direction of Osamu Yagihashi. The stage play was performed from early July to late August.<ref>{{Cite web|title=BIOHAZARD対策室/BIOHAZARD/S･E･Tバイオロイド零年|url=http://www.biohazard.gr.jp/setzeronen/info.html|access-date=2021-06-25|website=www.biohazard.gr.jp}}</ref>

== Reception and legacy ==
Most of the games in the prominent ''Resident Evil'' series have been released to positive reviews. Some of the games, most notably ''Resident Evil'', ''Resident Evil 2'' and ''Resident Evil 4'', have been bestowed with multiple [[List of Game of the Year awards|Game of the Year]] honors and often placed on lists of the best video games ever made.
In 1999, ''[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]'' listed the ''Resident Evil'' series as number 13 on their "Top 50 Games of All Time", commenting that, "Flawless graphics, excellent music, and a top-notch storyline all combined to make a game of unparalleled atmosphere and suspense."<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Top 50 Games of All Time |magazine=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]|issue=50 |publisher=[[Imagine Media]] |date=February 1999|page=79}}</ref> In 2012, ''[[Complex (magazine)|Complex]]'' ranked ''Resident Evil'' at number 22 on the list of the best video game franchises.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.complex.com/video-games/2012/09/the-50-best-video-game-franchises/resident-evil|title=Resident Evil – The 50 Best Video Game Franchises – Complex|author=Elton Jones|work=Complex}}</ref> That same year, [[G4tv]] called it "one of the most successful series in gaming history."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.g4tv.com/videos/59175/top-100-video-games-of-all-time-81-resident-evil/ |title=Top 100 Video Games of All Time #81 – Resident Evil – |publisher=G4tv.com |date=June 11, 2012 |access-date=August 15, 2013}}</ref>

[[File:Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, Resident Evil characters (WonderCon 2013), cropped.jpg|thumb|[[Chris Redfield]] and [[Jill Valentine]] cosplay]]
[[GameSpot]] listed the original ''Resident Evil'' as one of the fifteen most influential video games of all time. It is credited with defining and popularizing the [[survival horror]] genre of games. It is also credited with taking [[video games]] in a cinematic direction with its [[B-movie]] style [[cut-scenes]], including live-action [[full-motion video]] (FMV) footage. Its live-action opening, however, was controversial; it became one of the first [[action games]] to receive the "Mature 17+" (M) rating from the [[Entertainment Software Rating Board]] (ESRB), despite the opening cutscene being censored in North America.<ref name="GameSpot">{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/video/15influential/p14_01.html |title=15 Most Influential Video Games of All Time |website=[[GameSpot]] |date=April 14, 2010 |access-date=August 11, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100414040202/http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/video/15influential/p14_01.html |archive-date=April 14, 2010}}</ref>

=== Television ===
{{Main|Resident Evil (TV series)|Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness}}
[[Constantin Film]] was in development of a ''Resident Evil'' animated series in 2005, intended as a spin-off of ''Resident Evil: Apocalypse'' which would continue Alice and Jill's adventures in the event Sony turned down work on a third film. When ''Resident Evil: Extinction'' was greenlit, this project was abandoned. A second attempt at a TV series arose in 2014; owing to a deterioration in Constantin's relationship with Sony Pictures over the cancellation of ''[[The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes (unproduced film)|Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes]]'' and Sony Pictures Television's disinterest in the ''Shadowhunters'' series, Constantin began shopping around for alternate financiers with the intention it begin production following the release eof ''[[Resident Evil: The Final Chapter]]''.
Work renewed on the television show project in late 2018 following the cancellation of ''Shadowhunters'', with Constantin approaching Netflix to finance the film, with production outsourced to Moonlighting Film, their South Africa partner on ''The Final Chapter''. The series was formally announced in 2020, having been greenlit as an eight episode series with each episode one hour in length.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Patches|first=Matt|date=2020-08-27|title=Resident Evil live-action series confirmed by Netflix with first details|url=https://www.polygon.com/2020/8/27/21403542/resident-evil-netflix-show-plot-characters-wesker|access-date=2020-08-27|website=Polygon|language=en}}</ref> [[Andrew Dabb]] was hired as Showrunner alongside a number of other Netflix projects. Due to delays brought on by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], production was delayed eight months and took place from February-July 2021.
The story makes heavy use of flashbacks, set in both 2022 and 2036. The 2022 plotline involve 14-year-old half-twins Jade and Billie Wesker moving to New Raccoon City. They come to realize that their father may be concealing dark secrets, both that could destroy the world and reveal their true origins. The 2036 plotline takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where Umbrella's T-virus has spread across the world, mutating wildlife and six billion human victims, called "Zeroes", leaving behind a mere 15 million uninfected refugees.

=== Merchandise ===
[[File:Resident Evil Bar.jpg|thumb|''Resident Evil'' theme restaurant]]
Over the years, various toy companies have acquired the ''Resident Evil'' license, with each producing their own unique line of ''Resident Evil'' [[action figure]]s or models.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Enter The Survival Horror...

[[Tokyo Marui]] also produced replicas of the guns used in the ''Resident Evil'' series in the form of gas blow-back [[airsoft]] guns. Some models included the STARS [[Beretta]] featured in ''Resident Evil 3'', and the [[Desert Eagle]] in a limited edition that came with other memorabilia in a wooden case, along with the Gold [[Luger (pistol)|Lugers]] from ''Code: Veronica'' and the "Samurai Edge" pistol from the ''Resident Evil'' remake. Other merchandise includes an energy drink called "T-virus Antidote."
''Resident Evil Archives'' is a reference guide of the ''Resident Evil'' series written by staff members of Capcom. It was translated into English and published by [[BradyGames]]. The guide describes and summarizes all of the key events that occur in ''[[Resident Evil Zero]]'', ''Resident Evil'', ''Resident Evil 2'', ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', and ''Code: Veronica''. The main plot analysis also contains character relationship charts, artwork, item descriptions, and file transcripts for all five games. <!-- One part of the guide replaces all instances of the word "biohazard" with "Resident Evil," even when the situation didn't warrant it (resulting in such goofs such as the UBCS being referred to as the "Umbrella Resident Evil Countermeasure Service" at one point), as well as typos and spelling errors throughout. A second Archives book was later released in December 2011 and covered ''Resident Evil 4'', ''Resident Evil 5'', the new scenarios detailed in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' and ''Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles'', and the 2008 CGI movie, ''Resident Evil: Degeneration''. The second Archives volume was translated by Capcom and published by BradyGames. --> A second Archives book was later released in December 2011 and covers ''Resident Evil 4'', ''Resident Evil 5'', the new scenarios detailed in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' and ''Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles'', and the 2008 CGI movie, ''Resident Evil: Degeneration''.

=== Novels ===
The first ''Resident Evil'' novel was Hiroyuki Ariga's novella ''Biohazard: The Beginning'', published in 1997 as a portion of the book ''The True Story of Biohazard'', which was given away as a pre-order bonus with the Sega Saturn version of ''Biohazard''. The story serves as a prelude to the original ''Resident Evil'', in which Chris investigates the disappearance of his missing friend, Billy Rabbitson.
[[S. D. Perry]] has written novelizations of the first five games, as well as two original novels taking place between games. The novels often take liberties with the games' plot by exploring events occurring outside and beyond the games. This often meant that the games would later contradict the books on a few occasions.<ref>For example, the novel ''Underworld'' suggested that Raccoon City was destroyed during an accidental fire after the events of ''City of the Dead'', whereas in ''Resident Evil 3'' it is revealed that the city was destroyed by a nuclear missile launched by the government.</ref> One notable addition from the novels is the original character Trent, who often served as a mysterious behind-the-scenes string-puller who aided the main characters. Perry's novels were translated and released in Japan with new cover arts by Wolfina.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wolfina.com/snake-heart/ |title=Snake Heart |language=ja}}</ref> Perry's novels, particularly ''The Umbrella Conspiracy'', also alluded to events in ''Biohazard: The Beginning'', such as the disappearance of Billy Rabbitson and Brian Irons' bid to run for Mayor. A reprinting of Perry's novels with new cover artwork began in 2012 to coincide with the release of ''[[Resident Evil: Retribution]]'' and its respective novelization.
There are a trilogy of original ''Biohazard'' novels in Japan. {{Nihongo|'' Hokkai no Yōjū''|北海の妖獣||lit. "The Strange Beast of the North Sea"}} was published in 1998 and was written by Kyū Asakura and the staff of Flagship. Two additional novels were published in 2002, ''To the Liberty'' by Sudan Kimura and ''Rose Blank'' by Tadashi Aizawa. While no official English translation of these novels has been published yet, the last two books were translated into German and published in 2006.
Novelizations of three of the six Paul Anderson films; ''Genesis'', ''Apocalypse'', and ''Extinction'', were written by [[Keith DeCandido]]. ''Afterlife'' did not receive a novelization due to Capcom's decision to discontinue working with [[Pocket Books]], who had been their primary source of publishing books up to that point, Capcom would later make [[Titan Books]] their primary publisher going forth. ''Retribution'' was written by [[John Shirley]], while ''The Final Chapter'' was written by [[Tim Waggoner]]. ''Genesis'' was published over two years after that film's release and coincided with the publication of ''Apocalypse'', ''Genesis'' being marketed as a prequel to ''Apocalypse'', while the ''Extinction'' novel was released in late July 2007, two months before the film's release. ''The Final Chapter'' was published in December 2016 alongside the film's theatrical release. There was also a Japanese novelization of the first film, unrelated to DeCandido's version, written by Osamu Makino. Makino also wrote two novels based on the game ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''. The books are a two-part direct novelization of the game and are published in Japanese and German only. The first novel, titled ''Biohazard: The Umbrella Chronicles Side A'' in Japan and ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles 1'' in Germany, was released on December 22, 2007. The second novel, titled ''Biohazard: The Umbrella Chronicles Side B'' in Japan and ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles 2'' in Germany, was published in January 2008.
=== Comics ===
In 1997, [[Marvel Comics]] published a single-issue prologue comic based on the original ''Resident Evil'', released through a promotional giveaway alongside the original PlayStation game.
In 1998, [[WildStorm]] began producing a monthly comic book series based on the first two games, titled ''Resident Evil: The Official Comic Magazine'', which lasted five issues. The first four issues were published by [[Image Comics|Image]], while Wildstorm themselves published the fifth and final issue. Each issue was a compilation of short stories that were both adaptations of events from the games and related side stories. Like the Perry novels, the comics also explored events occurring beyond ''Resident Evil 2'' (the latest game during the series' publication) and thus were contradicted by later games. Wildstorm also published a four-issue miniseries titled ''Resident Evil: Fire & Ice'', which depicted the ordeal of Charlie Team, a third STARS team created specifically for the comic. In 2009, Wildstorm reprinted ''Fire & Ice'' in a trade paperback collection.<ref>{{cite news|date=February 7, 2009|title=NYCC '09 – Wildstorm Panel with Jim Lee|work=[[Newsarama]]|url=http://www.newsarama.com/comics/090207-nycc09-widlstorm.html}}</ref>
In Hong Kong, there has been officially licensed ''Biohazard'' [[manhua]] adaptations of ''Biohazard 0'' by publisher Yulang Group, ''Biohazard 2'' by Kings Fountain, ''Biohazard 3 Supplemental Edition'' by Cao Zhihao and, ''Biohazard 3'', and ''Code: Veronica'' by Lee Chung Hing published by Tinhangse Publishing. The latter was translated into English and distributed by Wildstorm as a series of four graphic novel collections.
In 2009, Wildstorm began publishing a comic book prequel to ''Resident Evil 5'', titled ''Resident Evil'', which centers around two original members of the BSAA named Mina Gere and Holiday Sugarman. Written by Ricardo Sanchez and illustrated by Kevin Sharpe and Jim Clark, the first issue was published on March 11, 2009. On November 11, 2009, the third issue was released, and the fourth was released March 24, 2010. The sixth and final book was finally published in February 2011.<ref name="Wildstormre5">{{cite web|title=''Resident Evil'' solicitations at DC Comics website.|url=http://www.dccomics.com/wildstorm/comics/?cm=11359}}</ref>
=== Plays ===
In the summer of 2000, ''Bioroid: Year Zero'' was performed in Japan. It was a musical horror-comedy but took the perspective of the infected.

[[GameSpot]] listed the original ''Resident Evil'' as one of the fifteen most influential video games of all time. It is credited with defining and popularizing the [[survival horror]] genre of games. It is also credited with taking [[video games]] in a cinematic direction with its [[B-movie]] style [[cut-scenes]], including live-action [[full-motion video]] (FMV) footage. Its live-action opening, however, was controversial; it became one of the first [[action games]] to receive the "Mature 17+" (M) rating from the [[Entertainment Software Rating Board]] (ESRB), despite the opening cutscene being censored in North America.<ref name="GameSpot">{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/video/15influential/p14_01.html |title=15 Most Influential Video Games of All Time |website=[[GameSpot]] |date=April 14, 2010 |access-date=August 11, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100414040202/http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/video/15influential/p14_01.html |archive-date=April 14, 2010}}</ref>

-The development of the first ''[[Resident Evil (1996 video game)|Resident Evil]]'', released as ''Biohazard'' in Japan, began in 1993 when [[Capcom]]'s [[Tokuro Fujiwara]] told [[Shinji Mikami]] and other co-workers to create a game using elements from Fujiwara's 1989 game ''[[Sweet Home (video game)|Sweet Home]]''.<ref name="Gamespot-Mikami">[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/resident-evil-creator-shinji-mikami-reflects-on-th/1100-6435918/ Resident Evil Creator Shinji Mikami Reflects on the Series' Roots], [[GameSpot]] (March 22, 2016)</ref><ref>[http://www.computerandvideogames.com/281325/features/time-machine-sweet-home/ Time Machine: Sweet Home], ''[[Computer and Video Games]]''</ref> When in late 1994 marketing executives were setting up to release ''Biohazard'' in the United States, it was pointed out that securing the rights to the name ''Biohazard'' would be very difficult as a DOS game had been registered under that name, as well as a New York hardcore punk band called [[Biohazard (band)|Biohazard]]. A contest was held among company personnel to choose a new name; this competition turned up ''Resident Evil'', the name under which it was released in the west.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/gr-asks-why-was-biohazard-renamed-resident-evil/|title=GR Asks: Why was Biohazard renamed Resident Evil?|website=[[GamesRadar+]]|date=April 8, 2009}}</ref> ''Resident Evil'' made its debut on the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] in 1996 and was later ported to the [[Sega Saturn]].

-The original game and many franchise entries are set in and around Raccoon City, a fictional [[Midwestern United States|midwestern]] American city. The city and its outlying areas house several [[bioengineering]] laboratories belonging to the Umbrella Corporation, which develop viruses intended for use in [[biological warfare]]. One of the laboratories, unnamed throughout the video game series and referred to as "The Hive" in the film adaptations, is located underneath Raccoon City and is where the T-virus is developed. As Umbrella's mutagen testing grows in scale and the virus has leaked into Raccoon City, STARS officers and other characters fight through the monsters ravaging the city to investigate Umbrella's involvement in the disaster. Raccoon City is ultimately destroyed by a thermobaric missile strike initiated by the United States government to contain the viral outbreak.<ref>{{cite book |author=Damien Waples |title=Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles Official Game Guide |publisher=[[Prima Games]] |location=California, United States |isbn=978-0-761-55845-3 |pages=58–73 |date=2007-11-13 }}</ref> An ensuing government investigation leads to Umbrella's downfall.

-==Gameplay==
-The ''Resident Evil'' franchise has had a variety of control schemes and gameplay mechanics throughout its history. Puzzle-solving has figured prominently throughout the series.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3332740/whats-memorable-resident-evil-puzzle/|title=What's the Most Memorable 'Resident Evil' Puzzle?|publisher=Bloody Disgusting|first1=Adam|last1=Dodd|date=February 24, 2015|access-date=December 19, 2018}}</ref>

-The first game introduced a control scheme that the player community has come to refer to as "[[tank controls]]" to the series.

This differs from many 3D games, in which characters move in the direction the player pushes the controls from the perspective of the camera.<ref name=":0" /> Some critics have posited that the control scheme is intentionally clumsy, meant to enhance stress and exacerbate difficulty.<ref name=historyofRE>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjkr-8lrK2w| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/Xjkr-8lrK2w| archive-date=2021-12-11 | url-status=live|title=The History of Resident Evil|website=GameSpot|date=August 13, 2016|access-date=December 6, 2018}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

-While the first three entries in the series featured this control scheme, the third, ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', saw some action-oriented additions. These included a 180 degree turn and dodge command that, according to ''[[GameSpot]]'', "hinted at a new direction that the series would go in." Later games in the series, like ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', would feature a more fluid over-the-shoulder third-person camera instead of a fixed camera for each room, while ''[[Resident Evil 7]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil Village]]'' are played from the [[First-person (video games)|first-person perspective]].

-===Third-person shooter gameplay===
-''Resident Evil 4'' saw significant changes to the established gameplay, including switching from [[Virtual camera system#Third-person view|fixed camera perspectives to a tracking camera]], and more action-oriented gameplay and mechanics. This was complemented by an abundance of ammunition and revised aiming and melee mechanics. Some critics claimed that this overhauled control scheme "made the game less scary."<ref name="historyofRE" /> The next two games in the franchise furthered the action-oriented mechanics: ''Resident Evil 5'' featured cooperative play and added strafing, while ''Resident Evil 6'' allowed players to move while aiming and shooting for the first time, fully abandoning the series' signature tank controls.<ref name="historyofRE" />

<p>The first <i>Resident Evil</i> novel was Hiroyuki Ariga's novella <i>Biohazard: The Beginning</i>, published in 1997 as a portion of the book <i>The True Story of Biohazard</i>, which was given away as a pre-order bonus with the Sega Saturn version of <i>Biohazard</i>. The story serves as a prelude to the original <i>Resident Evil</i>, in which Chris investigates the disappearance of his missing friend, Billy Rabbitson.
</p><p><a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._D._Perry" title="S. D. Perry">S. D. Perry</a> has written novelizations of the first five games, as well as two original novels taking place between games. The novels often take liberties with the games' plot by exploring events occurring outside and beyond the games. This often meant that the games would later contradict the books on a few occasions.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a></sup> One notable addition from the novels is the original character Trent, who often served as a mysterious behind-the-scenes string-puller who aided the main characters. Perry's novels were translated and released in Japan with new cover arts by Wolfina.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a></sup> Perry's novels, particularly <i>The Umbrella Conspiracy</i>, also alluded to events in <i>Biohazard: The Beginning</i>, such as the disappearance of Billy Rabbitson and Brian Irons' bid to run for Mayor. A reprinting of Perry's novels with new cover artwork began in 2012 to coincide with the release of <i><a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil:_Retribution" title="Resident Evil: Retribution">Resident Evil: Retribution</a></i> and its respective novelization.
</p><p>There are a trilogy of original <i>Biohazard</i> novels in Japan. <i> Hokkai no Yōjū</i><span style="font-weight: normal"> (<span title="Japanese-language text"><span lang="ja">北海の妖獣</span></span>, lit. "The Strange Beast of the North Sea")</span> was published in 1998 and was written by Kyū Asakura and the staff of Flagship. Two additional novels were published in 2002, <i>To the Liberty</i> by Sudan Kimura and <i>Rose Blank</i> by Tadashi Aizawa. While no official English translation of these novels has been published yet, the last two books were translated into German and published in 2006.
</p><p>Novelizations of three of the six Paul Anderson films; <i>Genesis</i>, <i>Apocalypse</i>, and <i>Extinction</i>, were written by <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_DeCandido" title="Keith DeCandido">Keith DeCandido</a>. <i>Afterlife</i> did not receive a novelization due to Capcom's decision to discontinue working with <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_Books" title="Pocket Books">Pocket Books</a>, who had been their primary source of publishing books up to that point, Capcom would later make <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_Books" class="mw-redirect" title="Titan Books">Titan Books</a> their primary publisher going forth. <i>Retribution</i> was written by <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Shirley" title="John Shirley">John Shirley</a>, while <i>The Final Chapter</i> was written by <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Waggoner" title="Tim Waggoner">Tim Waggoner</a>. <i>Genesis</i> was published over two years after that film's release and coincided with the publication of <i>Apocalypse</i>, <i>Genesis</i> being marketed as a prequel to <i>Apocalypse</i>, while the <i>Extinction</i> novel was released in late July 2007, two months before the film's release. <i>The Final Chapter</i> was published in December 2016 alongside the film's theatrical release. There was also a Japanese novelization of the first film, unrelated to DeCandido's version, written by Osamu Makino. Makino also wrote two novels based on the game <i>Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles</i>. The books are a two-part direct novelization of the game and are published in Japanese and German only. The first novel, titled <i>Biohazard: The Umbrella Chronicles Side A</i> in Japan and <i>Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles 1</i> in Germany, was released on December 22, 2007. The second novel, titled <i>Biohazard: The Umbrella Chronicles Side B</i> in Japan and <i>Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles 2</i> in Germany, was published in January 2008.

Each issue was a compilation of short stories that were both adaptations of events from the games and related side stories.

Wildstorm also published a four-issue miniseries titled <i>Resident Evil: Fire & Ice</i>, which depicted the ordeal of Charlie Team, a third STARS team created specifically for the comic. In 2009, Wildstorm reprinted <i>Fire & Ice</i> in a trade paperback collection.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a></sup>
