One was to create a superior form of humans to remake the world in his own village, and the other was to find a way to essentially become immortal and bring an end to the very concept of ageing. Umbrella co-founder Ozwell Spencer was driven by two primary motivations in all that he did. And it’s entirely sure that these four groups together, in some way, shape, or form, were either became involved with Umbrella not long after their work started, or may even have been responsible, in some fashion, for the corporation’s existence.Īnd why would they bother? Well, for obvious reasons. And sure, at this point, all we can do is speculate based on very little information, but some theories do seem plausible.įor instance, it’s entirely possible that the powers that reign over RE Village’s village are Lady Dimitrescu and possibly three other groups, each represented by one of the four crests I mentioned earlier. The logo itself is surrounded by four other crests, and the whole thing seems to be a very ceremonial vibe to it. Umbrella discovered that flower in 1966, which, of course, is several years after what we know to be the earlier known indication of Lady Dimitrescu having her powers- but there has to be a very good reason for why Umbrella’s logo can be found in the village in such prominent fashion. That flower led to the creation of the Progenitor Virus, which, as its name suggests, is the root cause of all the countless viruses and bioweapons we’ve seen throughout the course of the series. The corporation’s experiments with and studies of bioweapons and experimental viruses only began when they found the flower known as Stairway of the Sun in West Africa.

But as Resident Evil 5 explains, Umbrella’s history is much longer than what earlier games in the series suggested. That’s quite a long time before the events of Resident Evil Village, or even RE0, which is the first mainline game in the series’ chronology. The Maiden demo on the PS5, for instance, reveals that Lady Dimitrescu has been around since at least the late 1950s, and has had her vampiric abilities since around that time, if not even earlier. One thing that’s become abundantly clear in all that we’ve seen of Resident Evil Village so far is that whatever is going on in the game’s titular village stems from things that were kicked into motion long before the game’s event kick off. The reason, I think, is that Umbrella is going to be involved in the game’s story in a pretty major way. The shot in question showed the classic logo of the Umbrella Corporation quite clearly, and Capcom obviously made sure to put that in the very first trailer we saw of the game for a reason. When Capcom first announced the game in last year, one particular shot from the trailer caught the attention of a lot of Resident Evil fans. The first and most obvious reason for that belief is, of course, Resident Evil Village’s debut trailer.

And there are several things that point to that. In fact, I’d say that it’s not just quite possible- it’s entirely likely. Of course, Umbrella Corporation were right in the thick of things once again quite recently, with the recent remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, but it’s quite possible that the villainous organization could have a role to play in the upcoming Resident Evil Village as well. Players fought against Umbrella and its messed up antics for years, and once they were gone, we took up arms either in attempts to clean up the messes they’d left behind, or to quash the even bigger problems that only existed because of Umbrella’s own actions. Even though Umbrella Corporation hasn’t been around in the Resident Evil chronology for a long time, the evil, corrupt organization still looms large over the series and everything to do with it.
