In the world of Resident Evil, outbreaks and bioterror attacks and outbreaks are a regular occurrence. Most of the time, these will be contained within a single city, but there have been a few occasions where the stakes ended up getting worryingly high, with the fate of an entire nation, or even the whole world, resting on the heroes' shoulders. As the Resident Evil series has gone on, the villains' ambitions have only gotten more and more outlandish, with many of them being more than happy to plunge the world into chaos if it puts them one step closer to fulfilling their ultimate plan.
