As the fifth major release in the legendary Resident Evil franchise, it takes players on a gripping journey through the sun scorched, danger filled landscapes of Africa.

You step into the boots of Chris Redfield, a series veteran, and his new partner Sheva Alomar. Both are operatives of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), sent to investigate a black market bio weapons operation in Kijuju. But what starts as a routine mission quickly spirals into chaos the local population has been infected by a terrifying parasite called Las Plagas, turning ordinary people into aggressive, monstrous beings. The atmosphere is tense, the stakes are high, and trust me, you’ll feel the urgency in every firefight.
