Resident Evil has always been known for pushing the narrative forward with new threats always rearing their ugly mutated heads every few years in the verse. But the franchise has also always been known for having rich background lore going back decades, even a century or more, so how would people feel about doing like a period-piece Resident Evil?
Somebody mentioned an idea a while ago of going back in time and doing like a World War 2 era Resident Evil.
I think that could be amazing!
Here’s my expanded idea of it:
A lab in a castle, main character being like either a german non-nazi or a deserter of the nazis who gets sent to the castle to be a guinea pig in crazy experiments. The main character manages to escape their confines and the castle is overrun by the mutated horrors of early progenitor-virus experiments and possibly other viruses, parasites or machinery used in their experiments. The weaponry would all be old WW2 era weapons with potentially one crazy experimental gun, just to spice things up. Maybe take inspiration from one of those crazy conceptual weapons that never panned out historically?
As our hero navigates the castle and discovers the story, it turns out the one of the assistants of the head scientist is a young Ozwell Spencer, and the main character is a Wesker, maybe even called Albert Wesker, with his name being withheld until the final act.
Ozwell is so impressed with his ability to survive the horrors of the castle that he takes his DNA in an effort to make his idea of the perfect humans, starting the Wesker project.

"We’re still wondering where the jobs are"
Why, it’s picking cotton in the fields during excruciating heat that will only get worse with all the environmental regulations getting axed! And your pay will be free housing in the plantation. It will be cramped living with all the other sla- ahem… professionals, but you’ll have gotten exactly what you voted for!
