About

Released in 2012 for PlayStation 3, Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection brings together two on-rails light gun shooters from the Resident Evil series in high definition. The first title, Umbrella Chronicles, revisits key events from the franchise's past, tracing the rise and fall of the Umbrella Corporation across eight playable characters, among them Rebecca Chambers, Chris Redfield, and Jill Valentine. The second, Darkside Chronicles, returns to Raccoon City through the perspectives of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they fight to survive its horrors, while also shedding light on the history between Leon and his adversary Krauser. Both games cast players as stationary shooters moving through fixed paths, focusing on combat and enemy waves rather than exploration. The collection serves as a retrospective on the series' narrative, connecting storylines from several earlier entries.
