Umbrella developed it as a bioweapon to combat the T-Virus. Interestingly, Lisa is infected with the G-Virus (Golgotha Virus) in the game, which is known to cause these more extreme mutations. Just like in the games, Lisa is deformed, chained up, and sports a giant, monstrous eyeball on her back. Lisa was an Umbrella test subject and the video shows Albert trying to administer something to her. She looks basically identical to her video game counterpart, which is pretty cool. In Resident Evil episode 5 Jade and Billie discover a truly horrific video on Albert’s computer showing footage of Lisa Trevor.
It is also featured in Resident Evil 5 and apparently the favorite song of Umbrella co-founder Oswell Spencer. The symphony appears a few times in the Resident Evil games, including the need to play it to unlock a secret room in the mansion during the first game.
In the fifth episode, Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” has special significance to Billie and Jade as part of the scavenger hunt that Albert has created. We also see that Evelyn keeps some kind of monstrosity in a tank (that later escapes) and the creature looks pretty similar to an early form of Birkin’s mutation after he injects himself with G-Virus in the games.

He is a significant antagonist in the series and one of the leading virologists in the T-Virus study.īirkin also discovered the Golgotha Virus, which is mentioned a few times in the first season, albeit not by name (the inclusion of Lisa Trevor is a big part of the G-Virus mentions in the show). William Birkin gets a shoutout during the show’s first season (maybe more than one) and fans of the games and movies should find the name instantly recognizable. Albert asks about the “chest mount” in the show, which is likely a reference to Jill wearing the Scarab on her chest at the end of Afterlife. Later, a version of P30 was turned into the Scarab machine in Resident Evil: Afterlife. That device is likely a reference to P30, the chemical compound he used to mind-control Jill Valentine.

In episode 7, we meet the real, original Albert Wesker who requests an update on the “mind machine” device from one of his clones in a flashback. It’s where Oswell Spencer built his mansion and it’s also where Lisa Trevor is believed to have gone into hiding.
Arklay is a pivotal location in the games, featuring multiple times. The flashback featuring the original Albert Wesker takes place in the Arklay Mountains in 2005, a few years after the 1998 Raccoon City outbreak. It’d be great to see her appear in the show if it gets renewed and it would mean Jade would have to travel to Japan, as that’s where Ada is per Albert’s note. She also appeared in Resident Evil: Retribution where she was played by Li Bingbing. She first appeared in Resident Evil 2 but has appeared in many of the games, novels and even animated films in the franchise. Ada is a fan-favorite character from the games and an awesome, morally ambiguous spy. He tells her that the person the note is a friend and someone she can turn to for assistance. Ada Wongĭuring the finale, Albert gives Jade a piece of paper with a name and address. There is a part where a zombie dog jumps out from a glass window and it was considered one of the scariest parts of the game! The 2002 Resident Evil film also featured its own version of that moment and the show appears to pull inspiration from the movie scene, too. Jade and Billie’s little dog is named Pablo and while it’s possible this is just a coincidence, it seems likely that the name Pablo is a nod to Pablo Kuntz, the voice actor that voiced Albert Wesker in the games.īillie and Jade’s fight with the infected Doberman is a direct homage to the original 1996 Resident Evil, the first game in the series. The Umbrella Corporation logo is an octagonal shape and there are octagons all over the place in Resident Evil, from on picture frames scattered throughout the Wesker house to the silver earrings Jade wears in the first episode. The show doesn’t go super into detail so there might be some differences from the game’s canon, but overall it’s a similar story. Umbrella told the world the area was destroyed (although not the real reason why), but in reality they fired a nuclear missile into the city to destroy it. The original Raccoon City was destroyed in 1998 after a T-Virus outbreak. The 2022 timeline takes place mostly in New Raccoon City, but what happened to the old one? The show keeps it the same as the game canon. Jade walks across the bridge and we get a shot of Big Ben and the skyline in the background as she does. The opening scene of Resident Evil episode 1 in 2036 is very reminiscent of the famous bridge scene in the iconic and acclaimed zombie movie 28 Days Later.
