It has been six years since the outbreak of the deadly T-virus and the U.S. government has destroyed the evil Umbrella Corporation, the company behind the horrific events. Forward to 2004 and Leon S Kennedy, Raccoon City’s rookie cop from Resident Evil 2, is now a U.S. agent with a top-secret mission.

He has been tasked to look into the abduction of the President’s daughter and his investigation has led him to a mysterious location in the dark heart of central Europe. Encountering unimaginable horrors, Leon must find out who or what is behind this new nightmare.
