Resident Evil 3 is a fast-paced survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. Originally released in 1999 as Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and later remade in 2020, the game continues the terrifying events of the Raccoon City outbreak. Known for its intense action and the relentless Nemesis, Resident Evil 3 delivers a more action-driven experience compared to Resident Evil 2.
Resident Evil 3 Story Overview
The story follows Jill Valentine, a former S.T.A.R.S. officer and one of the few survivors of the Spencer Mansion incident. After discovering the Umbrella Corporation’s deadly experiments, Jill becomes a target. As the T-virus spreads across Raccoon City, chaos erupts, turning civilians into zombies and grotesque creatures. Jill’s main objective is survival and escape. Throughout the game, she teams up with Carlos Oliveira, a member of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.), who helps her fight through the infected city.
Meanwhile, they face the ultimate threat — Nemesis, a powerful bio-weapon designed specifically to eliminate S.T.A.R.S. members. Unlike Resident Evil 2, which focuses heavily on exploration inside the police station, Resident Evil 3 expands into city streets, subways, hospitals, and underground labs. The story moves quickly, emphasizing action and urgency as Raccoon City heads toward total destruction.
