With Resident Evil: Death Island, Capcom has finally fulfilled the wishes of the fans, by uniting the five protagonists of the first stage of the saga in the same mission: Chris, Jill, Claire, Leon and Rebecca.

However, the references to Resident Evil Code: Veronica are also curious. And it is that the antagonist is again the Virus T, as it happens until Resident Evil Code: Veronica, with the special mutation in the T-Veronica Virus.
