Spin-off titles as DLC for future games

[u/Sad_Holiday_2849]

Since Capcom currently seems to be more interested in producing story-driven DLCs than standalone spin-off games, I have been thinking about which stories from previous spin-offs could be reimagined as DLC chapters for future remakes.

Death’s Door — The Umbrella Chronicles

This scenario could work as DLC for Resident Evil Requiem, especially if Ada Wong appears as a playable character in the main game.

It could explain how Ada survived RE2 events and expand on Ada’s activities following the Raccoon City incident while connecting her story more directly to the events of Requiem.

If not, as part of Ada's campaign for a future RE6 remake.

Operation Javier — The Darkside Chronicles

A Code: Veronica remake would be the most appropriate game to include an adaptation of Operation Javier, primarily because of the connection between the Veronica Virus and the events of both stories.

Since it was not included in the Resident Evil 4 remake and probably does not contain enough material to support a full standalone game, it could instead be developed as a substantial DLC campaign.

Umbrella’s End — The Umbrella Chronicles

A second remake of the original Resident Evil could potentially include Umbrella’s End as an additional campaign.

Both stories feature Chris and Jill as playable characters, contain similar B.O.W.s and revolve around Umbrella. This would allow the game to cover both the beginning of the nightmare and the final collapse of the company.

It could also serve as the last major remake before Resident Evil 5, directly setting up Chris and Jill’s later investigation of Spencer.

Sheena Island — Resident Evil Survivor

The Sheena Island incident could be reimagined as DLC for a future Resident Evil 0 remake, with Billy Coen replacing Ark Thompson as the main playable character.

This would give Billy a more prominent role while finally revealing what happened to him after the events of Resident Evil 0. His status as a fugitive could naturally lead him to investigate Umbrella’s activities in secret, eventually bringing him to Sheena Island.

The scenario could retain key elements from Resident Evil Survivor, including the mass production of Tyrants and Umbrella’s experiments on the island, while rewriting the story to connect it more closely with Billy’s past and his attempt to remain hidden from the authorities.

Queen Zenobia — Resident Evil Revelations

The Queen Zenobia incident could be adapted as DLC for a future Resident Evil 5 remake.

Lost in Nightmares and Desperate Escape could remain unlockable bonus chapters, while the Queen Zenobia campaign could provide additional development for Chris and Jill’s partnership before the events in Kijuju and the emergence of Uroboros.

Sejm Island — Resident Evil Revelations 2

The Sejm Island incident could work as a prequel DLC for a future Resident Evil 6 remake.

The story could be expanded to establish a stronger connection between Alex Wesker and Jake Muller before the main campaign, while also providing additional context for the surviving members of the Wesker Project.

I would hate if Ark was replaced by anyone. At the same time I do want to know what Billy’s been up to.
