When it was released in 2013, the return of Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and Ada Wong was set to be the pinnacle of the series.在《生化危機 6》中，該系列將把生存恐怖的根源與動作恐怖的演變融為一體。它將增加更多的合作模式，並將講述《生化危機》有史以來最宏大的故事，其中包括一群主要角色。
《生化危机 6》有点混乱。 Focusing on three sets of characters, each running through their own campaigns, it tries to be survival-horror when you play as Leon, straight action when you play as Chris, and an ongoing, Nemesis-styleing player play 是”Who?” And honestly don’t worry about it.)
None of the approaches really work, thanks to the bleeding-together of Resident Evil’s gameplay sensibilities. More than that, though, the game’s story is genuinely confusing.雖然從三個不同的角度講述同一個故事是一個很酷的想法，但它難以解析整個事情。 RE6 covers governmental conspiracies and strange new villains, with multiple evil organizations, and if you didn’t play through all four campaigns, you likely never understood what was going on or its significance to wever never. ludicrous, superhero movie-like action set pieces and cutscenes–and the horror can never set in. That’s also true of RE6’s serious, sad moments, too–like when Leon is forced to shoot his friends sion, too–like when Leon is forced to poot his has the pter his p.
RE6 encapsulates an overall Resident Evil problem: Despite trying to unify all the different parts of Resident Evil’s identity and canon, it merely adds more confusion.

RE7及其後續作品， 生化危機村莊，是一系列典範轉移中的一個，幾乎都是典範轉移。每次《生化危機》自我重塑時，它的故事也會大大調整。 The first five Resident Evils (including 生化危機 0 和 代號：維羅妮卡 生化危機5
因此，我們來到了《生化危機安魂曲》，這款遊戲在發行前夕與《生化危機 6》進行了比較，並因此引起了一些恐懼。 《安魂曲》再次尝试统一《生化危机》的众多身份。這是一款由新主角主演的第一人稱生存恐怖遊戲，也是一款由萊昂驅動的動作遊戲，具有《生化危機 4》的風格，運行兩個獨立的戰役並以兩個不同的角色為特色。在它的故事中，玩家將回到浣熊市，浣熊市之前被安布雷拉病毒摧毀，政府為了掩蓋它的飛彈襲擊而摧毀了它。 《安魂曲》看起來像是一款再次嘗試同時旋轉《生化危機》所有板塊的遊戲，回到了過去的輝煌歲月，而不是提供任何創新。
。 But it doesn’t revisit the past solely to sell your nostalgia back to you, as some have said.它结束了多年来困扰 RE 的所有问题，包括原版游戏和侦查、令人困惑的故事背景和重制版。 It’s closing the loop on past Resident Evil in as many meaningful ways as it can manage. It’s the end of one era for Resident Evil, and the beginning of another.
正是在《方舟》中，我們開始看到《安魂曲》大受歡迎的故事原因：壞人正在出售安布雷拉的舊東西。吉迪恩在他的陰暗邪惡組織 The Connections 中的伙伴的幫助下，將方舟用作工廠。 They created a variant of the T-virus to make new zombies, and you’ll find readouts in the lab that talk about various past monster products they’ve updated for current sale, like the Licker, the Tyrant, and the Nemesis.
沿途的故事花絮也有助于链接到其他游戏。芝諾（Zeno）是與吉迪恩（Gideon）合作的新威斯克角色，顯然是 The Connections 的成員，該組織曾在《生化危機 7》和《生化危機：村莊》中與模型合作，並且在美國政府中擁有一些保留或融入。我們了解到，對浣熊市的導彈襲擊並不是為了遏制疫情爆發——考慮到所有殭屍仍然在周圍遊蕩，它完全沒有做到這一點，這一事實清楚地表明了這一點——而是為了隱藏方舟、埃爾皮斯和安布雷拉與這些強大人物的聯繫。
筆記和文件還表明，The Connections 對《生化危機 6》中的總統殭屍化負有責任，這是一次攻擊，目的是在他揭露浣熊市發生的事情背後的真相之前消滅他。這顯示《生化危機 6》的反派德里克·西蒙斯和他所屬的另一個名為「The Family」的恐怖組織也包含在 The Connections 中。 And we hear that The Connections were linked to Tricell, a seemingly rival corporation that rose up in the aftermath of Umbrella.
All this to say that Requiem is retroactively expanding on The Connections’ role in the overall series, and quickly positioning the group as the force behind a lot of the series’ events. If The Connections killed the president and are tied to Tricell, it stands to reason that Albert Wesker and Ada Wong were probably working for them as far back as Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2. Requiem makes them into a through-line for the series: They worked with Spencer and then betrayed him, they tried to seize Umbrella’s power for themselves, they convinced the government to destroy Raccoon City to cover their tracks, and they assassinated the president via zombie virus when he threatened to blow the lid關閉。在莱昂在生化危机 4 中阻止了奥斯蒙德·萨德勒的洛斯光明会邪教后，他们试图在生化危机 5 中利用拉斯普拉加斯寄生虫。他們分別與《RE：村莊》的米蘭達母親合作，希望利用她的模具來控制思想，這導致了《RE7》的事件。現在他們正與吉迪恩合作，用方舟復活安布雷拉的創造物，並希望能控制埃爾皮斯。
在一個故事中，《連線》巧妙地將其他遊戲留下的所有大線索以及它們不斷轉移到新故事的線索聯繫起來； guess now we know why they’re called that.但《安魂曲》不只是想解決未解決的問題，而是永遠解決它們。
然后是Elpis，安布雷拉时代的最终结局。格蕾絲發現了她母親採訪斯賓塞的視頻，並意識到埃爾皮斯是他消除他對世界造成的所有屠殺的希望；不是另一種病毒超級武器，而是一種可以摧毀所有病毒武器的抗病毒藥物。
These moments aren’t just supposed to ping your RE2 nostalgia. Requiem is taking each of these iconic Resident Evil ideas and creatures and putting them down, one by one. It’s willing, with a shot to the , thatkersre the noby thats. It’s willing, with a shot to the nobe, thatkers 不會再有了。不會再有T病毒了。不會再有雨傘了。 The last monster you fight is Gideon, transformed into a big gooey Nemesis monster that’s almost exactly like the one players beat in Resident Evil 3 remake, in one last callback.然後你也殺了他。
安布雷拉所有最大的坏处、最糟糕和最伟大的创造，都落在你的面前。 Elpis 被释放，所有病毒武器都不再存在。 Even Leon’s Raccoon City Syndrome, the disease that Raccoon City survivors have all developed and the most pointed metaphor for the past’s influence over Resident Evil’s characters, is cured.浣熊市和安布雷拉的持久遺產被抹去。
《生化危机》通过《安魂曲》做到了《生化危机 6》无法做到的事情：它使整个系列成为一个连贯的整体。更重要的是，重新審視它的過去，這樣它就可以埋葬一些過去——最後一次穿越浣熊市，然後最終將它留在後視鏡中。
該系列可以繼續發展一個新的、明顯的反派：連結。 They’ve been around the whole time, either working with, or responsible for, all those folks we’ve seen get badly mutated before someone’s tossed us a rocket launcher so weould finish them 更強大的方法安布雷拉。
現在《生化危機》已經放下了所有舊的可怕和噁心的想法，他們可以自由地想像所有新的可怕和噁心的想法供他們嘗試。
