If you are a fan of Resident Evil, you would surely be interested in knowing and playing the events that took place between Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. What happened? A fan is creating a mod that answers that question.
The chronology of Resident Evil It is quite clear and while it is true that Resident Evil 2 comes before Resident Evil 3, both stories are intertwined to a large extent. The paths of Leon, Claire and Jill were about to come together.
Many fans have clamored to be able to play a kind of fusion of both games, but Capcom is focused on other projects. The remake of Resident Evil 4 has been a success, but there are fans who still want to see more of Raccoon City…
And that's what we need to talk about, because Resident Evil modder komizo_lab has unveiled his next project known as a “crossover of Resident Evil 2 and 3” that will unite both stories by using a character known to fans.
A new mod that expands the story of Resident Evil
The modder assures that he is developing this game with the knowledge he has acquired through the development of Resident Evil 2 Overhaul MOD, Resident Evil 3 Overhaul MOD and Nemesis”, previous projects.
The link between both games is Brad Vickers, important character in the saga and “the person who involved Chris and Jill in the mansion incident, and who can be said to be the origin of the Resident Evil series,” says the modder.
“Brad Vickers was a member of the Raccoon Police Department's STARS Alpha team and appeared in the first Resident Evil game released in 1996 and later in Resident Evil 2 and 3. This new mod project represents the events that took place from 2 to 3 from your perspective.”
The mod merges the maps of both games, but we don't know much more about it. The creator hopes to provide more information as development work progresses, but we can wait a long time until it is playable.
It is likely that the mod never came to fruition, since Capcom usually fights a lot for its licenses. In fact, many current and old Capcom games suffer from ''review bombing'' on Steam after the Japanese company's boycott of mods.
