Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

The game takes place at the same point in the series timeline as Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, but does not follow the same events. It is a non-canon "what-if" scenario which has nothing to do with the main series.2 3 The main playable characters are a 6 person team within the U.S.S. (Umbrella Security Service) known as "Wolfpack", the new Delta Team. During the game's prologue, Wolfpack are deployed to assist the Alpha and Bravo teams led by HUNK during the "G-Virus Seizure Operation". After the operation's failure and the resulting biohazard caused by the leak of the T-Virus, Wolfpack is blamed for the failure and re-deployed in order to eliminate witnesses and destroy evidence in order to ensure the survival of Umbrella by wiping out anything which may connect the company to the incident. At the same time, the United States Government deploys the "SPEC OPS' FIELD UNIT", an elite Special Forces team of the U.S. Army, to protect witnesses and recover any evidence which would explain the cause of the disaster. As a result, the game becomes a three-way struggle between the U.S.S., SPEC OPS and the monsters in the city, as well as Umbrella B.O.W.s such as the Tyrant (T-103) from RE2 and the Nemesis-T Type from RE3.

Certain characters from previous games in the series appear during the events of the game, including Leon Scott Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveira, Ada Wong and Nicholai Zinoviev. The game allows for the ability change the course of history for the series by directly killing characters such as Leon.
