A city's about to vanish from the Earth.
The city's name is Raccoon City.
It's an abode of foolish loyal dogs whose master is the giant corporation Umbrella.
Most of its citizens, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, don't even suspect their evil master.
They believed they were going with the flow and their days would continue endlessly in seemingly peaceful fashion.
They were oblivious to this being a sin that would lead to their destruction...
Like Sodom and Gomorrah, scorched by the wrath of God, the city was filled with death.
Umbrella, the ruthless ruler, didn't care about the lives of its servants.
The earth was polluted, the water corroded, and the people were denied their supposed equality in death.
All that could be heard were resentful howls from cannibals whose hearts had been consumed by darkness.
Jill Valentine doesn't look back.
Looking back she sees only desolate scenes of destruction.
The immortal beast released by the Umbrella runs through the city of the dead in pursuit of her.
The Pursuer's name is Nemesis--- the unconquerable one, the hellish hunter bearing the name of the goddess of vengeance.
But for Jill, this monster isn't the true "Nemesis."
Umbrella, an insane organization that continues to grow in size through conspiracies and its outstanding technologies.
It's a conceited giant that has ensnared the power of the state and is no longer bound by law.
Without conquering the root of the problem, Umbrella, there'll be no end to biohazards.
Her battle's merely a prelude.
So let us light the beacon for our grand counterattack here.
Let us raise our unbreakable will of steel high above the fading embers.
Let's conquer Nemesis, Umbrella's vanguard, to its last drop of blood.
For a requiem for the foolish souls. For the sake of making Umbrella's sneer twitch in fear.
Jill Valentine will be the conqueror...

UPTOWN IMAGE STORY Burning Zombie
A strange smell wafted through the alley.
A dense smell of decay. The process of necrosis in cellular tissue, however, is no longer a unique smell in Raccoon City. Every place in the city was filled with the stench of death, and of the dead.
The smell of death permeates everything on the streets: bloodstained walls, shattered glass strewn about, abandoned vehicles... and so on. There's no longer any sense of incongruity.
What stimulated her paralyzed nostrils was the smell of burning flesh.
No, it was the intense stench of blood, skin, hair, nails, everything else that makes up the human body, being scorched---that was the true nature of the bizarre odor wafting through this corner of Raccoon City, which had turned into a city of the dead.
Flickering tongues of flame continued to infest every corner of the city, where even those who tried to extinguish them had ceased to exist. Rising black smoke enveloped the city in darkness. The crimson light emitted by industrial fires served only to intensify the contrast of shadows, rather than illuminate the darkness.
In the alleyways, too, were many such seedbeds of fire stirring in the air.
They were in a space colored with fiery vermilion and the black of darkness.
The corpse of a man lying face down, his body being consumed by the flames spreading on the road surface--- the source of the strange smell from earlier.
The fire had already spread to the clothes he was wearing. The synthetic fibers were bursting into flames as the man's back was beginning to blaze red like a torch while his corpse jerked.
He couldn't be alive. A human being who has been burned on just 30% of their body's surface area is no longer able to sustain life due to an imbalance of water inside the body and a sudden drop in blood pressure.
The skin of the middle-aged man lying on his side is charred in places, his blood even partially boiling. It's no wonder the shock from the burns alone was enough to kill him.
In other words, it looked like this was the phenomenon where the body's burning muscles and tendons contract under the heat, causing the body to stiffen as if it were coming back to life.
The man's corpse twisted and turned performing a slow, frenzied dance on the street. Flames also spread to his raised abdomen, now enveloping his entire body in fire. The dead man, clad in a gorgeous scarlet robe, performs a terrifying dance to send himself off to his own funeral.
And yet.
He shouldn't have lived.
The man raised himself up. Kneeling on one knee, the flaming corpse stood up with a clear and definite will while shakily balancing on the ground.
His eyeballs popped from the heat of the fire leading toward the entrance to the alley. The man's burned lips formed a sloppy "0" and a long, silent howl, neither "ahh" nor "ohh", emanates from them.
Several other dead people emerge from the flames, all of them no longer visible. They all have their eyes, which they can probably no longer see through, fixed on the same point as the first man.
The poor departed, still burned but not allowed to live forever. Heartless dead men who wander about seeking the flesh of the living, commanded by their shameful appearances and the hunger that assails him. Those who've ceased to be human due to a demonic virus.
The only thing possible to do for them was return them to their original state as soon as possible.
Jill Valentine stepped into the alleyway under the Zombies' hungry stares, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger on her Beretta. To break the accursed thread binding them to this world...

POLICE STATION IMAGE STORY Chaser in Black
The irregular sound of thick-soled boots pounding on the road surface echoes through the air.
They overlap with the sound of heavy breathing. Haa, haa, the shriek-like sound of breathing escapes from his throat.
The man was being chased.
Looking back and forth, the man runs clumsily down the dark street, nearly falling over.
He knows every time he looks behind him he slows down. But even so he couldn't help but cast frightened glances over his shoulder.
What he sees is a constant world of darkness, like it's nothingness. There's no sign of his Pursuer, and no sign of the city's newest inhabitants, the Zombies.
But as soon as he turns his head forward in the need to run, he's overcome with anxiety. He feels like a huge, deformed man dressed in black who melted into the darkness had showed up from a corner behind him just as he took his eyes off it, and seemed to be running toward him.
He could no longer imagine those veiny fingers thick as the barrel of a heavy duty rifle reaching for the back of his neck to crush his medulla oblongata at any moment. Just the thought of the Pursuer being there sends a feverish stiffness up his spine. He could feel every hair on his body stand on end. A tremendous amount of fear rose up from his lower abdomen, as if he might vomit his guts out of his stomach.
His legs tangle. His breathing's labored, and the blood vessels in his temples pulsate without enough oxygen. He was sweating profusely. His terrified heart beat unbelievably fast. If he didn't check behind him, this anxiety alone would've been enough to kill him.
And then the man, Brad Vickers, looks back again. The only thing in his shaky field of vision's the uninhabited cityscape...
Behind him, sparks fly from an unlit show window, and the street's momentarily painted black and white. In the midst of this scene, like a monochrome photograph, Brad saw it.
He saw the Pursuer standing there in a jet-black trench coat.
He was a real strange man.
His skin was a dry ochre color, as if his whole face were a tumor. On his face there was almost nothing that should be on a human face, save for the left eye and its large, puckered, lipless mouth.
His right eye was completely crushed by what appeared to be a surgical wound reaching the top of the head. Around his neck, a number of slimy pipe-like tubes of a toxic purple shade were embedded in his body.
His pupil-less, cloudy left eye was squinted and his exposed teeth were slightly distorted. The distance was still great, but Brad could see it clearly. The Pursuer sneered.
"S.T.A.R.S...."
"Heeey!"
Brad let out a true scream this time as he heard the monster lurking in the darkness utter his special ops unit's name. He shuddered in despair, knowing he was the one being targeted after all. Then he started sprinting.
Knowing the Pursuer was there, he no longer needed to turn around. Brad ran so hard he wondered where in his depleted and maimed body he had the strength left to do so. He held out a gleam of hope for a companion who might be able to save him, or even turn them against the monster.
Behind him, he hears the continuous thuds of the Pursuer's shoes. Clearly it was closing the distance between itself and Brad. But his destination was already in sight.
With a leap of faith, he opens the gate to the Raccoon Police Department he'd arrived at. And there she was, a familiar, beautiful colleague.
"Jill!"
Brad shouts, and at that same moment, the Pursuer leaps effortlessly through the gate and lands right in front of him. A vise-like hand clamps down on his cheekbones and hoists him into the air. His skull squeaks and creaks.
Brad Vickers was doomed to die.

CHAPTER.2 / MONSTER FILES
ZOMBIE (p.062)
After a large quantity of it leaked into the sewage system, the T-Virus was spread exponentially by rats and insects, resulting in a biohazard of unprecedented scale in Raccoon City. People affected by the T-Virus suffer from skin necrosis and blood congestion, and after periodic bouts of confusion, eventually succumb to a half-dead state in which their brains have been eaten away and they've lost the ability to reason and think. By this time, skin on the entire body has begun to rot away due to the abnormal metabolic functions, and their appearance is just like the "living dead" depicted in movies and novels--- in other words, Zombies themselves. In reality, they wander the streets in search of fresh human flesh, driven solely by their intense hunger.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Since the game's main focus is on urban areas, we've included many variations of Zombies, such as office worker Zombies, fat Zombies, and Zombies crawling out of their graves. In the early stages of development, we wanted to make butcher Zombies with knives and office worker Zombies carrying bags and wandering the city, but we wound up rejecting those ideas.
ZOMBIE DOG (p.064)
Dogs are one of the most familiar animals to humans, possessing the intelligence to perform a variety of tasks and serve as partners if trained to do so. However, they're essentially carnivorous beasts with powerful fangs a bare-handed human can't compete with. And thus, dogs affected by the T-Virus and turned into Zombies are starving, ravenous beasts that no longer recognize humans as companions, only as food. These Zombie Dogs prowling the city's streets are mere shadows of the former police dogs raised at the Raccoon Police Department. Since they were originally Dobermans bred for combat, they haven't lost any of their muscular strength, and unlike the human Zombies, they retain their normal agility.
GIANT SPIDER (p.065)
Among those in the arthropoda class which includes insects that prosper everywhere on Earth, the spider family's a successful species. The reason's variety. Spider species are distributed from dry desert zones to tropical jungles and cold regions, and amount to only about 30,000 currently confirmed kinds. They show a capability for extraordinary environmental adaptation. They also fully demonstrate this adaptation ability once again under the influence of the T-Virus. They became ferocious and grew massive so they aren't easily killed by other creatures, evolving into a new kind and more rapidly intensifying their venomous nature. The reason there's no change in appearance may be that the spider's form is already perfect.
DRAIN DEIMOS (p.066-067)
This mutant's generally called "DD" and was originally a small blood sucker living on the skin of animals. By ingesting the body fluids of infected animals, it was secondarily infected with the T-Virus which allowed it to grow at an astonishing speed through exuviations, and in the end, it grew to a hundred times its normal size, to the size of a human. Human cerebrospinal fluid is the main nutrient source of the DD imago and it uses a sharp acerose mouth to stab a human's cervical vertebra, killing the victim almost immediately. This creature prefers dark and wet places like narrow alleyways and is asexual, but can morph itself into a female when it obtains enough nutrients, so mono-propagation is its reproduction method.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
I designed it by request for "a monster able to utilize three-dimensional space", based on an insect jumping and moving on walls and ceilings. Its motif was a flea. It's hard to see but when attacked, sometimes its arms will be blown off. And please be careful with it, as it lays eggs.
BRAIN SUCKER (p.068-069)
The Brain Sucker's an "irregular mutant" similar to DD, but has two protruding heads. Since its appearance has a clear distinction with reptilians, it can't simply be considered a DD subspecies. It was originally speculated to be a kind of flea and due to it parasitizing on different animals, a differentiation was caused. This means that when an insect consumes a T-Virus infected animal's flesh, due to the differences in DNA from the host, it'll mutate into a totally different creature. In comparison to DD which extracts body fluids, the Brain Sucker feeds directly on the human brain. Its two tongues mutated into a form suitable for breaking its victim's skulls.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
I designed it with the image of two entangled monsters. Initially this monster's color was orange with black and when standing and attacking it looks like the mystery man who appears in Kamen Rider (the impression of its whole body wrapped in an orange costume to black head-to-foot tights), and I made various alterations and reached the current design.
SLIDING WORM (p.071)
During the Raccoon City incident, the "Grave Digger" laid hundreds of eggs in the ground and sewers of the city. In order to survive in these excessively cruel environments, these eggs incubate in about two hours and grow to about one meter in length. The larva's called "Sliding Worm" and has four small but very sharp fangs the same shape as the adult. Its body's very bouncy which allows it to leap in order to attack humans. It uses its fangs to bite a person's skin and extract blood. A single worm can extract at most one liter of blood at a time, and when the worms attack as a swarm, their prey will immediately die of excessive blood loss. If a larva can absorb nutrition, it'll grow to a giant size like the Grave Digger in a week's time.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The Grave Digger was initially designed with tentacles protruding out of the mouth, but it went wrong in the production process and became the Grave Digger's larva (child). It discolors slightly red when it sucks the player's blood.
HUNTER β (p.072)
The Hunter's the B.O.W. that achieved the results closest to success in the "Mansion Incident" with its high combat capabilities and the intelligence to handle very simple commands (eliminate all people encountered, etc). Since low-cost cloning was simple, emphasis was placed on performance enhancement as the next mainline Umbrella product, and further superimposed gene remodeling gave birth to this β model. In comparison with the α model that was a trial manufacture type, its offensive abilities slightly declined, and although its appearance became monstrous, its characteristic agility rose markedly, realizing an improved nervous system, astounding instantaneous force, and enabling it to evade gunfire. About twenty were released into Raccoon City for the purpose of a final test before mass-production.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The concept in this design is the same as the Hunter α in "BIO1" and I designed it to emphasize features like its claws and evil impression in its appearance. By the way, the Hunter's headhunting is great this time, but its left arm's dominant now so the left hand's bigger.
HUNTER γ (p.074)
The γ model's a unique form, popularly called "Frogger", developed by a European Umbrella laboratory after receiving the Hunter α and β models developed by the American research team, and inimitably completed using that know-how. Developed in a reverse way of thinking, they daringly used an amphibian as the base for the fertilized ovum and added human genes in the culture process, and contrary to most expectations, its intelligence failed to reach a level favorably comparable with the β model. However it seems to be weak to dryness and direct sun-rays similar to the characteristics of amphibians, concluded to be lacking versatility and difficult to commercialize, it having now been sent into Raccoon City strongly implicates a test by the European branch.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The Hunter γ's a monster whose model was made in advance. In the initial stage it was designed with blue blood vessels running from head to toe on a white body, but when I handled it the texture didn't appear on the polygon model well, leading to its current stage. It comes with the "Hunter" name but it's closer to an amphibian than a reptile, its eyes degenerated and it's also toothless and swallows prey whole.
GRAVE DIGGER (p.076)
With the progression of the virus and Bio Organic Weapons development in the Umbrella Raccoon City Laboratory, the generated waste and contaminated material far exceeded the disposal plant's degradation potential and steadily leaked into the soil around the city from an early stage. This giant creature, reaching ten meters in total length, achieved a mutation far beyond imagination because, as an underground dwelling arthropod species, its entire habitat area constantly absorbed the T-Virus and was seriously contaminated. Perhaps it succumbed to this biohazard, and it's believed to dig up the corpses of victims who were quickly buried without being cremated and starved beneath the cemetery in Raccoon Park, digging into them just as its name, Grave Digger, suggests.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The first decided monster I designed in response to a request for a huge earthworm-like monster that emerges from the soil and attacks. However it took a lot of effort to create and there were many problems in production. Initially tentacles came out of the Grave Digger's mouth and were planned to grab guns while Jill fired away, but...
NEMESIS 1ST FORM (p.078)
The latest B.O.W. which conquered the significant decrease in intelligence, a side effect of the T-Virus, by allowing the control of the brain through the external parasite "NE-α Type", commonly named Nemesis. The base was a mass-produced Tyrant model, already with a certain degree of perfection, but under the influence of the cell activation composition secreted by the dominant Nemesis, it transformed into something more like a monster. Its ability to think is markedly high compared with conventional B.O.W.'s, it can continuously carry out missions through self-judgement, and according to the situation, it's also even capable of properly using weapons requiring special knowledge, such as a rocket launcher. The coat wrapped around its entire body's blast-proof and bulletproof while also playing the role of a straitjacket which suppresses emergencies of going out-of-control.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
I designed it when the director asked for "a rough guy who attacks with weapons and has an intimidating build" in order to express the fear of pursuit. We made a parasite to characterize it and it's assumed to be a test subject with its stitching and exposed muscles.
NEMESIS 2ND FORM (p.079)
Although the Pursuer "Nemesis-T Type" acquired a regenerative ability far exceeding a normal Tyrant due to the Nemesis parasite's secretions, it's difficult to say its genetic code's stable in relation to the two creatures coexisting, and in the process of healing damage to its body, a mutation progressed at an increasing rate. With this second form, in which the coat on the upper half of its body has been lost due to an accumulation of damage, it can be noticed that the tentacles, released from their restraint, became larger and increased its aggressiveness, and moreover, the enlargement of the Nemesis' body itself, which could invade the central nervous system and brain stem from the medulla oblongata, can be seen as it trying to adapt to the critical situation. Its arms no longer have a form suitable for the use of firearms and its multiple tentacles outweigh them as a means for powerful attacks.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The Pursuer has three types from the first form to the third form, but it's not a transmutative metamorphosis as an evolutionary process like "G" in "BIO2", its transformations are merely absolutely influenced by damage. By the way, its coat comes off in the second form and its restricted tentacles are released and it becomes stronger.
NEMESIS 3RD FORM (p.080)
Through damage and resistance improvements, the Nemesis-T Type appeared to solve the fatal weapon defects of intelligence decline and dramatic change of form due to excessive damage, which often occurred in the Tyrant. However if the brain of the synchronized Tyrant is destroyed, its survival instinct's believed to exceed the control bestowed for Umbrella, and all control becomes impossible in this berserk form. Its appearance no longer retains the Tyrant's original shape. Its damaged limbs are substituted by abnormal development of its tentacles, and as for the head, the Nemesis itself forms an organ for predation and absorption. The cells of the Tyrant and Nemesis each struggle for control, distorting and transforming it, and the intensely acidic toxic pus it spreads continuously is believed to have absorbed the processing room's waste fluid from blebs on its back, swelling up in its shoulder. It's reduced to a bizarre-looking monster left with a single thought of S.T.A.R.S.--- eliminating Jill.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The design I was most troubled by trying to show its evil impression as much as possible. It might not be noticeable during the game but the parasite cells replicated abnormally in the Pursuer's body and the third form became huge, its body reversed and became a quadrupedal form facing upward on its back (the long tusk-like things protruding from its back in the third form are ribs protruding from the chest).
"NE-α TYPE" PARASITE & "NEMESIS-T TYPE" (p.081)
By examining the valuable combat data provided by the Mansion Incident, the Bio Organic Weapon research teams of Umbrella recognized the fact that most B.O.W.'s created using the T-Virus possessed only low intelligence and were presently insufficient as "products."
Even the Tyrant, regarded as a perfect ultimate life-form, was unable to adequately execute orders--- In the face of these results, the research teams of each branch respectively sought possibilities for improving intelligence through different approaches. Having continued research for some time, one of these answers was presented by the European branch under headquarters' direct control, a unique and devilish biological remodeling process said to place the brain under total control while strengthening a B.O.W.'s capabilities, by allowing an organism of an entirely new species to parasitize it.
Then, the parasite "NE-α Type" was developed--- known as Nemesis. When this is transplanted into a Bio Organic Weapon's spinal cord at a cellular level, it absorbs the internal T-Virus cells to grow, then forms a unique brain near the medulla oblongata. At the same time, it invades the central nervous system and destroys the host's frontal lobe, modifying the neural network to link its own brain with all remaining brain functions. Through this, Nemesis becomes responsible for cerebration in place of the host and completely controls the body as its own.
In addition, an interesting report was made concerning a Nemesis-T Type test subject, in which this was transplanted into the latest Tyrant. In this case, it gained a sense of self during the Nemesis culture process and attempted to escape from the facility with others. That proved the test subject's intelligence was drastically improved, and suggests a risk that a B.O.W. could become a new intelligent organism and rebel against humanity.
At such a time, could mankind survive---?
ZOMBIE (p.062)
After a large quantity of it leaked into the sewage system, the T-Virus was spread exponentially by rats and insects, resulting in a biohazard of unprecedented scale in Raccoon City. People affected by the T-Virus suffer from skin necrosis and blood congestion, and after periodic bouts of confusion, eventually succumb to a half-dead state in which their brains have been eaten away and they've lost the ability to reason and think.

Among those in the arthropoda class which includes insects that prosper everywhere on Earth, the spider family's a successful species. The reason's variety. Spider species are distributed from dry desert zones to tropical jungles and cold regions, and amount to only about 30,000 currently confirmed kinds. They show a capability for extraordinary environmental adaptation. They also fully demonstrate this adaptation ability once again under the influence of the T-Virus. They became ferocious and grew massive so they aren't easily killed by other creatures, evolving into a new kind and more rapidly intensifying their venomous nature. The reason there's no change in appearance may be that the spider's form is already perfect.
DRAIN DEIMOS (p.066-067)
This mutant's generally called "DD" and was originally a small blood sucker living on the skin of animals. By ingesting the body fluids of infected animals, it was secondarily infected with the T-Virus which allowed it to grow at an astonishing speed through exuviations, and in the end, it grew to a hundred times its normal size, to the size of a human. Human cerebrospinal fluid is the main nutrient source of the DD imago and it uses a sharp acerose mouth to stab a human's cervical vertebra, killing the victim almost immediately. This creature prefers dark and wet places like narrow alleyways and is asexual, but can morph itself into a female when it obtains enough nutrients, so mono-propagation is its reproduction method.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
I designed it by request for "a monster able to utilize three-dimensional space", based on an insect jumping and moving on walls and ceilings. Its motif was a flea. It's hard to see but when attacked, sometimes its arms will be blown off. And please be careful with it, as it lays eggs.
BRAIN SUCKER (p.068-069)
The Brain Sucker's an "irregular mutant" similar to DD, but has two protruding heads. Since its appearance has a clear distinction with reptilians, it can't simply be considered a DD subspecies. It was originally speculated to be a kind of flea and due to it parasitizing on different animals, a differentiation was caused. This means that when an insect consumes a T-Virus infected animal's flesh, due to the differences in DNA from the host, it'll mutate into a totally different creature. In comparison to DD which extracts body fluids, the Brain Sucker feeds directly on the human brain. Its two tongues mutated into a form suitable for breaking its victim's skulls.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
I designed it with the image of two entangled monsters. Initially this monster's color was orange with black and when standing and attacking it looks like the mystery man who appears in Kamen Rider (the impression of its whole body wrapped in an orange costume to black head-to-foot tights), and I made various alterations and reached the current design.
SLIDING WORM (p.071)
During the Raccoon City incident, the "Grave Digger" laid hundreds of eggs in the ground and sewers of the city. In order to survive in these excessively cruel environments, these eggs incubate in about two hours and grow to about one meter in length. The larva's called "Sliding Worm" and has four small but very sharp fangs the same shape as the adult. Its body's very bouncy which allows it to leap in order to attack humans. It uses its fangs to bite a person's skin and extract blood. A single worm can extract at most one liter of blood at a time, and when the worms attack as a swarm, their prey will immediately die of excessive blood loss. If a larva can absorb nutrition, it'll grow to a giant size like the Grave Digger in a week's time.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The Grave Digger was initially designed with tentacles protruding out of the mouth, but it went wrong in the production process and became the Grave Digger's larva (child). It discolors slightly red when it sucks the player's blood.
HUNTER β (p.072)
The Hunter's the B.O.W. that achieved the results closest to success in the "Mansion Incident" with its high combat capabilities and the intelligence to handle very simple commands (eliminate all people encountered, etc). Since low-cost cloning was simple, emphasis was placed on performance enhancement as the next mainline Umbrella product, and further superimposed gene remodeling gave birth to this β model. In comparison with the α model that was a trial manufacture type, its offensive abilities slightly declined, and although its appearance became monstrous, its characteristic agility rose markedly, realizing an improved nervous system, astounding instantaneous force, and enabling it to evade gunfire. About twenty were released into Raccoon City for the purpose of a final test before mass-production.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The concept in this design is the same as the Hunter α in "BIO1" and I designed it to emphasize features like its claws and evil impression in its appearance. By the way, the Hunter's headhunting is great this time, but its left arm's dominant now so the left hand's bigger.
HUNTER γ (p.074)
The γ model's a unique form, popularly called "Frogger", developed by a European Umbrella laboratory after receiving the Hunter α and β models developed by the American research team, and inimitably completed using that know-how. Developed in a reverse way of thinking, they daringly used an amphibian as the base for the fertilized ovum and added human genes in the culture process, and contrary to most expectations, its intelligence failed to reach a level favorably comparable with the β model. However it seems to be weak to dryness and direct sun-rays similar to the characteristics of amphibians, concluded to be lacking versatility and difficult to commercialize, it having now been sent into Raccoon City strongly implicates a test by the European branch.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The Hunter γ's a monster whose model was made in advance. In the initial stage it was designed with blue blood vessels running from head to toe on a white body, but when I handled it the texture didn't appear on the polygon model well, leading to its current stage. It comes with the "Hunter" name but it's closer to an amphibian than a reptile, its eyes degenerated and it's also toothless and swallows prey whole.
GRAVE DIGGER (p.076)
With the progression of the virus and Bio Organic Weapons development in the Umbrella Raccoon City Laboratory, the generated waste and contaminated material far exceeded the disposal plant's degradation potential and steadily leaked into the soil around the city from an early stage. This giant creature, reaching ten meters in total length, achieved a mutation far beyond imagination because, as an underground dwelling arthropod species, its entire habitat area constantly absorbed the T-Virus and was seriously contaminated. Perhaps it succumbed to this biohazard, and it's believed to dig up the corpses of victims who were quickly buried without being cremated and starved beneath the cemetery in Raccoon Park, digging into them just as its name, Grave Digger, suggests.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The first decided monster I designed in response to a request for a huge earthworm-like monster that emerges from the soil and attacks. However it took a lot of effort to create and there were many problems in production. Initially tentacles came out of the Grave Digger's mouth and were planned to grab guns while Jill fired away, but...
NEMESIS 1ST FORM (p.078)
The latest B.O.W. which conquered the significant decrease in intelligence, a side effect of the T-Virus, by allowing the control of the brain through the external parasite "NE-α Type", commonly named Nemesis. The base was a mass-produced Tyrant model, already with a certain degree of perfection, but under the influence of the cell activation composition secreted by the dominant Nemesis, it transformed into something more like a monster. Its ability to think is markedly high compared with conventional B.O.W.'s, it can continuously carry out missions through self-judgement, and according to the situation, it's also even capable of properly using weapons requiring special knowledge, such as a rocket launcher. The coat wrapped around its entire body's blast-proof and bulletproof while also playing the role of a straitjacket which suppresses emergencies of going out-of-control.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
I designed it when the director asked for "a rough guy who attacks with weapons and has an intimidating build" in order to express the fear of pursuit. We made a parasite to characterize it and it's assumed to be a test subject with its stitching and exposed muscles.
NEMESIS 2ND FORM (p.079)
Although the Pursuer "Nemesis-T Type" acquired a regenerative ability far exceeding a normal Tyrant due to the Nemesis parasite's secretions, it's difficult to say its genetic code's stable in relation to the two creatures coexisting, and in the process of healing damage to its body, a mutation progressed at an increasing rate. With this second form, in which the coat on the upper half of its body has been lost due to an accumulation of damage, it can be noticed that the tentacles, released from their restraint, became larger and increased its aggressiveness, and moreover, the enlargement of the Nemesis' body itself, which could invade the central nervous system and brain stem from the medulla oblongata, can be seen as it trying to adapt to the critical situation. Its arms no longer have a form suitable for the use of firearms and its multiple tentacles outweigh them as a means for powerful attacks.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The Pursuer has three types from the first form to the third form, but it's not a transmutative metamorphosis as an evolutionary process like "G" in "BIO2", its transformations are merely absolutely influenced by damage. By the way, its coat comes off in the second form and its restricted tentacles are released and it becomes stronger.
NEMESIS 3RD FORM (p.080)
Through damage and resistance improvements, the Nemesis-T Type appeared to solve the fatal weapon defects of intelligence decline and dramatic change of form due to excessive damage, which often occurred in the Tyrant. However if the brain of the synchronized Tyrant is destroyed, its survival instinct's believed to exceed the control bestowed for Umbrella, and all control becomes impossible in this berserk form. Its appearance no longer retains the Tyrant's original shape. Its damaged limbs are substituted by abnormal development of its tentacles, and as for the head, the Nemesis itself forms an organ for predation and absorption. The cells of the Tyrant and Nemesis each struggle for control, distorting and transforming it, and the intensely acidic toxic pus it spreads continuously is believed to have absorbed the processing room's waste fluid from blebs on its back, swelling up in its shoulder. It's reduced to a bizarre-looking monster left with a single thought of S.T.A.R.S.--- eliminating Jill.
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
The design I was most troubled by trying to show its evil impression as much as possible. It might not be noticeable during the game but the parasite cells replicated abnormally in the Pursuer's body and the third form became huge, its body reversed and became a quadrupedal form facing upward on its back (the long tusk-like things protruding from its back in the third form are ribs protruding from the chest).
"NE-α TYPE" PARASITE & "NEMESIS-T TYPE" (p.081)
By examining the valuable combat data provided by the Mansion Incident, the Bio Organic Weapon research teams of Umbrella recognized the fact that most B.O.W.'s created using the T-Virus possessed only low intelligence and were presently insufficient as "products."
Even the Tyrant, regarded as a perfect ultimate life-form, was unable to adequately execute orders--- In the face of these results, the research teams of each branch respectively sought possibilities for improving intelligence through different approaches. Having continued research for some time, one of these answers was presented by the European branch under headquarters' direct control, a unique and devilish biological remodeling process said to place the brain under total control while strengthening a B.O.W.'s capabilities, by allowing an organism of an entirely new species to parasitize it.
Then, the parasite "NE-α Type" was developed--- known as Nemesis. When this is transplanted into a Bio Organic Weapon's spinal cord at a cellular level, it absorbs the internal T-Virus cells to grow, then forms a unique brain near the medulla oblongata. At the same time, it invades the central nervous system and destroys the host's frontal lobe, modifying the neural network to link its own brain with all remaining brain functions. Through this, Nemesis becomes responsible for cerebration in place of the host and completely controls the body as its own.
In addition, an interesting report was made concerning a Nemesis-T Type test subject, in which this was transplanted into the latest Tyrant. In this case, it gained a sense of self during the Nemesis culture process and attempted to escape from the facility with others. That proved the test subject's intelligence was drastically improved, and suggests a risk that a B.O.W. could become a new intelligent organism and rebel against humanity.
At such a time, could mankind survive---?

Remarks: Completed US Special Forces Delta Force training course
Supervisor's Report
A beautiful female warrior with an indomitable will
It's hard to imagine from her neat appearance, but she already possesses survival skills comparable to front-line mercenaries. This is probably due to the harsh experience she had during the Mansion Incident, which fostered in her an ability to adapt to emergencies even better than normal people. She's believed to have had the skills to be selected for the elite unit S.T.A.R.S., who are chosen from across public, private, and regional boundaries. Although she has a tendency to be impulsive in many ways, her attitude of never giving up and trying to find a way to get things done without losing sight of her basic objective foreshadows the possibility she'll continue to be a bold obstacle to Umbrella's plans in the future.

Special Skill: Weapons maintenance and local procurement, and piloting helicopter and Cessna aircraft
Remarks: South American communist guerrilla organization member
Supervisor's Report
A young veteran who has lived as a guerrilla
He was originally a war criminal and exiled soldier sentenced to life imprisonment and capital punishment who was then forced to enlist in the organized U.B.C.S. in exchange for mitigation of his charges, and he's young enough to be called its youngest member. From childhood, he committed himself to an anti-government Communist guerrilla organization based in a certain South American country, and in order to ascertain his capabilities, the fact he's spent more time than he looks as a soldier shouldn't be forgotten. Since he also survived when the organization was completely destroyed due to a mop-up by government troops, a mercenary coordinator evaluated his tenacious survival techniques and scouted him into the U.B.C.S. In addition, it's thought he changed his name and face in order to erase his past.
▲ Due to his youth, he can appear cowardly under desperate situations, but surprisingly possesses the courage to actively deal with crises he faces.

Special Skills: Terrorism planning and execution
Remarks: Former Soviet Union Army Captain
Supervisor's Report
A too-kind commander who believes in rebellion
Entrusted with the 30-man D Platoon, within the meritocratic U.B.C.S. it's an undoubted fact he's an excellent commander. His military career prior to enlisting was something special, and in spite of even being promoted to Captain in the former Soviet Union military, he unceremoniously retired from service after the federation's collapse and suddenly participated in the independence movement of the ethnic minority his wife belonged to, and he was successful in much acts of terrorism as the leader of a guerrilla organization. The reason Mikhail consented to a position in the U.B.C.S., despite his rebellious spirit, was conditional upon clemency for his compatriots who were arrested alongside him. He tries to protect others, even by abandoning his cause, and with most of his subordinates losing their lives in combat in Raccoon City, it was surely a nightmare for him.
▲ Mikhail's angry over the loss of his subordinates and directs his hatred towards the Zombies. Although he's a capable commander, he's somewhat sentimental and cares nothing for his own life.

Remarks: Former Soviet Union Spetsnaz Special Forces Sergeant
Supervisor's Report
A ruthless giant who returns from any battlefield
There's almost nothing clarified regarding his career. What's become clear's only the fact that in the Cold War era prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was a member of the Spetsnaz special forces secretly maneuvering in sabotage and VIP killings around the world, relishing in an utmost evil reputation. With the advanced training he received at the time, Nikolai's skills as a soldier reached an exceptional level and he possessed the techniques and knowledge to deal with all situations on the battlefield, from woodland to urban combat, martial arts, installing and disarming booby traps, and the art of assassination. Thus there were many cases where only he returned in ops where the unit was wiped out, and it seems that within the unit, he has a poor reputation and reliability just as a soldier.
▲ Without hesitation, he shoots and kills Murphy as he was starting to turn into a Zombie. He's ruthless in cutting down any obstacles to his own survival.

Supervisor's Report
A mercenary with no morals and a keen business sense
Despite being highly capable for a mercenary, his money-minded obsession seems unusually strong, and at the time he belonged to the French Foreign Legion, he used his position to dabble in a side-business of heavy weapons smuggling. As a result, these weapons were used for genocide and his illegal sales were discovered, and though he was sentenced to life imprisonment after being discharged, he was a clever operator and actively contacted a mercenary coordinator himself and endorsed a special measure of release subject to enlisting in the U.B.C.S. A talented man devoid of convictions like himself, whose only criteria's money, could be called a very convenient piece for an employer.

Supervisor's Report
A sniper with a warm heart and a fierce temperament
Although he has a slightly shy personality for a soldier, he has a fierce past where in order to retaliate against a street gang for mercilessly murdering his brother, he shot 20 members of the organization one after another with a hunting rifle. His god-like sniper skills, referred to as first-class within the Marine Corps, caught the eye of a coordinator who rescued him from serving life imprisonment, and he joined the U.B.C.S. Since he drank T-Virus contaminated water following the unit's annihilation in Raccoon City, he faced his best friend Carlos and begged to be shot before he became a Zombie, displaying a readiness to die as a man.

Supervisor's Report
A weak-minded man who refused to fight
One of the survivors of the Mansion Incident who belonged to the S.T.A.R.S. A (Alpha) Team like Jill, but unlike the other surviving members, he was a pilot in charge of the helicopter and wasn't directly involved with the incident itself. As a result, he was seen in a rather frightened state in Raccoon City as it was flooded with Zombies, and after sensing the existence of the Pursuer, he also completely lost himself with his innate cowardice. He's intrinsically not a back-boned type and kept his distance from the other S.T.A.R.S. members after the Mansion Incident, appearing to show no willingness to pursue Umbrella.
SUPERVISORS - THOSE WHO BECAME THE EYES OF UMBRELLA (p.339)
Several people charged with special missions, called "Supervisors", were sent inside the U.B.C.S. They're special agents under the direct control of Umbrella executives and their existence isn't known to ordinary members. The duty of the Supervisors in Raccoon City is to gather valuable data under the special difficult to obtain situation of the most unprecedented large-scale biohazard in history.
Collecting or destroying samples and data left in medical facilities and laboratories, field surveys of mutant creatures and virus contaminated organisms including Zombies, and combat record reports before the annihilation of the U.B.C.S. who were sacrificed to obtain combat data etc.--- point being they're not allies for the general members to trust.
They're Umbrella's living surveillance cameras, calmly observing the ways in which guinea pigs die. In addition to being administered superior virus antibodies, a relay base for many means of escape and outside communication was covertly arranged by Umbrella agents who infiltrated the city beforehand.
Due to such duties, Supervisors have more exceptional careers than general U.B.C.S. members, and moreover, the only ones selected are those who can be controlled through financial reward, with no sense of justice or morality. However, there are some who seem to want to take advantage of the chaos in order to eliminate all other Supervisors and sell their data at a high price.

CHAPTER.7 / EXTRA FILES / FILE II ORIGINAL SETTING DESIGNS
JILL VALENTINE (p.340)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
For redesigning Jill, I asked to make sure she was attractive enough to appeal to everyone. I made her a "pro trap and explosives disposal specialist" and further clarified her setting with the fact she has experienced training equivalent to that of the U.S. Special Forces Delta Force.
CARLOS OLIVEIRA (p.341)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Of all the new characters, Carlos was the one whose name kept changing from one to another. Brazilian names aren't easy for us to understand, so we had to choose a name that sounded good.
His design's based on the image of a "wild but gentle and kind-hearted man." As is common with all the mercenaries, Carlos has a very dark past. This is the reason Carlos's place of origin is "South America," he demanded a "new start in life" as a reward in exchange for joining the U.B.C.S. That means his name, face, nationality, etc. are...
MIKHAIL VICTOR (p.342)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Mikhail was a character created on the premise of a "heroic death" symbolizing the mercenary troops who were sent to be discarded, and thanks to this, the way he died changed many times as the scenario and game were adjusted, and I remember we went through a lot of trial and error.
In terms of design, I asked for the image of a "common soldier with a sense of gravitas." After the Soviet Union's collapse, he went from an army officer to joining guerrillas for the sake of his wife, who was an ethnic minority, and successfully carried out an independent terrorist campaign, at the expense of many civilians.
NIKOLAI ZINOVIEV (p.343)

Nikolai was initially the "mastermind" character and actually supposed to be part of the "Zinoviev Brothers" along with Mikhail (the good guy brother and the bad guy brother...).
His design image is that of a tough, cold-hearted mercenary, and his setting's also that of a professional in unconventional combat chosen by Umbrella. He was seen as a rival to HUNK within the Umbrella organization. This is the reason Nikolai's only equipped with a handgun and a knife in the bonus game "The Mercenaries".
DARIO ROSSO (p.344)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
He's the only civilian in the story who has lines of dialogue. Originally, he was supposed to be "representative of the weak" and die after being active a little while longer. As a lovable supporting character, he has a few secret followers among the development team, and some of them even imitate Dario's voice acting by shouting "WHAT?", to imitate his voice actor's passionate performance, which was often seen by some of the planning staff. Dario's daughter's name is Lucia, and in the early days of development, she was still alive. He's not related to Mikhail.
MURPHY SEEKER
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Carlos' best friend Murphy, who's on the verge of becoming a Zombie, appears to portray the tragedy of having to shoot someone who's somewhere between human and Zombie. Many people would've hesitated, as did Carlos, at the thought of their loved ones or neighbors turning into monsters. This is one of the reasons Raccoon City has turned into a city of the dead.
TYRELL PATRICK
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Tyrell, who appears as one of Umbrella's Supervisors, was designed to be a "sarcastic, intellectual policeman." I wanted to include more black characters, but in the end he was the only one to appear. In the design stage, there was also a black female helicopter pilot...
POLICE FORCE (p.345)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
This was drawn from an existing setting of a select police force similar to riot police, created by the Raccoon Police Department separately from the special ops unit S.T.A.R.S. Special training was intensified, aiming to pick out officers with the intention of forming the Raccoon S.W.A.T.
JILL VALENTINE (p.340)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
For redesigning Jill, I asked to make sure she was attractive enough to appeal to everyone. I made her a "pro trap and explosives disposal specialist" and further clarified her setting with the fact she has experienced training equivalent to that of the U.S. Special Forces Delta Force.
CARLOS OLIVEIRA (p.341)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Of all the new characters, Carlos was the one whose name kept changing from one to another. Brazilian names aren't easy for us to understand, so we had to choose a name that sounded good.
His design's based on the image of a "wild but gentle and kind-hearted man." As is common with all the mercenaries, Carlos has a very dark past. This is the reason Carlos's place of origin is "South America," he demanded a "new start in life" as a reward in exchange for joining the U.B.C.S. That means his name, face, nationality, etc. are...
MIKHAIL VICTOR (p.342)
from DEVELOPMENT STAFF
Mikhail was a character created on the premise of a "heroic death" symbolizing the mercenary troops who were sent to be discarded, and thanks to this, the way he died changed many times as the scenario and game were adjusted, and I remember we went through a lot of trial and error.
In terms of design, I asked for the image of a "common soldier with a sense of gravitas." After the Soviet Union's collapse, he went from an army officer to joining guerrillas for the sake of his wife, who was an ethnic minority, and successfully carried out an independent terrorist campaign, at the expense of many civilians.

CHAPTER.7 / EXTRA FILES / FILE III Development Staff Q&A (p.348~351)
Respondents...
Q.1~23: [BIOHAZARD 3] Scenario & Creative Changes, Yasuhisa Kawamura
Q.24: [BIOHAZARD 3] Director, Kazuhiro Aoyama
Q1. Could the citizens of Raccoon City not escape from its closure by the U.S. military?
A1. It took some time for the U.S. military to surround Raccoon City, including a vote in Congress to do so. Although Raccoon City was encircled by order of the President, a considerable number of civilians had fled the city before then. Many of them were caught by the Army and National Guard security web, and those detained were examined and received quarantine measures depending on their level.
Q2. Through what method was the Pursuer deployed into Raccoon City?
A2. It was brought in via a dedicated transport, like the helicopter that airlifted the Tyrants. Incidentally, Hunters and others were brought in by land due to their large numbers.
Q3. What's the true reason the Pursuer was deployed?
A3. The Pursuer was ordered to eliminate all the S.T.A.R.S. officers in Raccoon City. Like the Hunters and such however, the Pursuer was deployed into live combat experimentally, so it was restricted to executing its command within Raccoon City. The plan was to attempt a demonstration of the magnitude of its capabilities by eliminating the top-caliber S.T.A.R.S. officer targets.
Q4. How'd the Pursuer identify the S.T.A.R.S. officers?
A4. The team that developed the Pursuer was also in charge of training the Pursuer, with the officials having it memorize photo and video materials of the S.T.A.R.S. officers. The Pursuer's intelligent so it'll carry out instructions because it understands them.
Q5. Where does the name "Nemesis" come from?
A5. The name Nemesis means "Goddess of Vengeance" and was given as a nickname by the Sixth Laboratory development team in Europe that developed the Pursuer. It may have been alluding to avenging the prototype Tyrant tragically killed by Jill etc. in BIO1.
Q6. What were the circumstances behind Dario Rosso's death?
A6. He miserably couldn't endure the fear of the Zombies invading the warehouse and was cornered after he opened the container door and tried running away.
Q7. What are the whereabouts of the Raccoon City mayor?
A7. The Raccoon City mayor was first to flee and is under the protective custody of the U.S. military.
Q8. What sort of band is "Big E" that planned to play live in Bar Jack?
A8. Big E's a pure American rock band whose hometown's Raccoon City. They're so popular there's nobody in Raccoon City who hasn't heard of them. In addition, all the band members survived as they were in the middle of returning to Raccoon City from a tour.
Q9. Marvin disappears along the way, but what was he doing before he met Leon and Claire in BIO2?
A9. He was in a hazy state of consciousness, recovering every now and then, before running out of energy once more near the lockers.
Q10. How'd Nikolai survive the event in the gas station or sales office?
A10. How Nikolai survived is shrouded in secrecy. But what's certain is he inherited his skills from the special forces of the former Soviet Union he once belonged to. Then following that, Nikolai didn't show himself for a while, as he refused to get caught up in the struggle between Jill and the Pursuer.
Q11. On what date did Jill ring the clock tower bell?
A11. It was September 28th. Jill was left in a coma and ended up sleeping for more a full day.
Q12. Was the Hunter γ in the hospital office capsules captured? Or was the hospital itself an Umbrella research facility?
A12. The hospital was funded by Umbrella, but it's purely a private medical facility. The Hunter γ was captured, with the hospital staff risking their lives to sedate them then carry them into the laboratory.
Q13. Why was Tyrell trying to open the safe in the hospital basement?
A13. The objective of the Supervisors, not just Tyrell, was to recover or destroy all data and important documents (including the hospital medical records etc). The reason he was trying to open the safe was to obtain some of those things.
Q14. Carlos created a vaccine to neutralize the T-Virus in the hospital, but did the hospital create this vaccine before it was destroyed? And if so, why weren't they able to use it?
A14. As written in the diary left in the hospital, the doctors arrived at the testing stage of the vaccine through research. However, most of the doctors and nurses at that point were in a semi-conscious state due to being infected with the virus, eventually turning into Zombies until not a single one survived.
Q15. What are the effects in the T-Virus that'll revive the dead as inferred from Brad who turned into a Zombie after losing his brain as well as the zombified bodies sleeping in the cemetery?
A15. Brad was infected with a powerful T-Virus dwelling in the Pursuer's tentacles, so his brain was destroyed but his body didn't die. Also, the Zombies who crawl out from the cemetery were infected with the T-Virus and revived within the ground since they were buried in an apparently dead state.
Q16. How'd Nikolai know all the Supervisors?
A16. All the Supervisors recognized each other.
Q17. What was the U.S. Army doing at the disposal plant? Also, what was the reason for the Tyrants fighting against the U.S. troops there?
A17. The U.S. Army Special Forces going to the thermal disposal plant was a total mistake. There's Umbrella personnel within the U.S. Government. Among these types of people however there are double agents on both sides, so intel on the Umbrella side was leaked to the U.S. Government. The Special Forces wiped out in the factory were dispatched for the purpose of seizing the newly developed "G-Virus" and protecting its developer, but they went up the lift to the disposal plant far from their destination as they had no accurate intel on the actual facility. (They infiltrated from the underground freight train route). But at the same time, Umbrella had already caught the intel leak and ordered all remaining Tyrants to be dropped at the disposal plant, after one T was dropped on the police station. The consequence was that the Special Forces and Tyrants were killed after engaging in a fierce battle while the virus was recovered by the Umbrella Security Service, who took control of the laboratory in the meantime. In addition, the rail cannon the Special Forces brought in for use against "G-Organisms" remained unused as they weren't able to respond to being blind-sided by the Tyrants.
Q18. Why'd the Pursuer kill Nikolai?
A18. Jill came in contact with Nikolai and the Pursuer saw them talking several times, viewing Nikolai as Jill's ally. "That woman's a liability..."--- What he felt so uneasy about on the streetcar became a reality and he was killed.
Q19. Which type of missile appeared in the ending?
A19. It's some sort of new type of bomb, a vaporizing bomb for example, with power second only to nuclear weapons, and although the details are unknown, radioactive contamination appears to be exceedingly low. In this story, it could be said it's equal to the rail cannon as an ultimate top-secret weapon of the U.S. military.
Q20. To what extent did the American government know about Umbrella? In addition, is there a reason why they never publicly attacked the Umbrella Corporation?
A20. The United States itself is a prominent customer so they're quite familiar with Umbrella's shady merchandise, say for example viral weapons or B.O.W.'s (Bio Organic Weapons). However, the details were limited to products available on the market and they hadn't obtained any detailed information on portions considered top-secret by Umbrella, such as development status. Moreover the reason the U.S. Government hasn't denounced Umbrella is "it'd bring unnecessary trouble upon themselves." The collusive relationship between Umbrella and key government officials runs so deep that to denounce Umbrella would expose the dark side of the U.S. Government itself. It's an act of suicide for many politicians. This framework also applies to many advanced nations. Umbrella's shady products are distributed in most of the developed world and many powerful politicians receive funding from them.
Q21. What was Barry doing until he rescued Jill?
A21. After parting with Chris, Barry spent time getting his family to take refuge in a safe place. Then once his family was settled, he was going to join Chris and tried getting in touch with Jill, but contact with Jill had been lost. Thereby, Barry went to rescue Jill with a private helicopter and hurried back to Raccoon City. Barry waited, timing it until when the U.S. military forces lifted their siege for the missile strike, then infiltrated the urban zone at a low altitude and rescued Jill when she had little time left. Of course, believing Jill had survived was a do-or-die action.
Q22. Did Jill investigate William Birkin's research facility and the G-Virus?
A22. That's right. She didn't know the details, but grasped the fact important research was being conducted.
Q23. Specifically what's the meaning behind Jill's "Last Escape"?
A23. The title Last Escape is loaded with meaning, of the end of Raccoon City, and of farewell to the stage that has sustained the series.
Q24. Any messages for the readers!!
A24. We created a new horror, and every day was a dilemma with a condensed production period and the challenges of our own "BIO3", including the formalities of being a game to play rather than watch, and elaborating for core fans, but it was surrounded by passionate staff who pursued fun and fear, and every day was enjoyable.
How did everyone respond to our challenge called BIO3? If you have any opinions, comments or complaints, please contact us at CAPCOM without hesitation. Our challenge isn't over yet. Please look forward to it in the future.
