Resident Evil 3 Remake is already out, and if you’re diving back into the reimagined horrors of Raccoon City, you might need a quick refresher on the key characters you’ll be spending time with. It’s been a long time since 1999, so here’s a guide to the main Resident Evil 3 Remake characters you’ll encounter as you fight to survive in a city overrun by terror.
Jill Valentine
Jill Valentine, a long-time series icon, returns as the main character in Resident Evil 3 Remake. First introduced in the original Resident Evil, Jill is now a seasoned survivor of the STARS team, and the remake gives her a modern overhaul, both in terms of character design and narrative depth. In Resident Evil 3 Remake, Jill is trying to escape the doomed Raccoon City, which has been ravaged by the T-Virus outbreak. But it’s not just the zombies she needs to worry about—there’s something else hunting her, and it’s relentless.
Carlos Oliveira
Carlos Oliveira is a member of the Umbrella Corporation’s elite security team, the U.B.C.S. (Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service). In the remake, Carlos plays a crucial role in helping Jill escape the nightmarish chaos of Raccoon City. Initially, Jill is sceptical of Carlos, given his ties to Umbrella, but over time, she learns he’s a pawn in a much larger corporate game. His journey parallels Jill’s, as he also fights to survive and uncover the truth behind the outbreak. His character adds depth and support to Jill’s story, and his actions become a key part of the narrative.
Resident Evil 3 Remake – Nemesis
The towering Nemesis is back, and he’s more terrifying than ever in the remake. Originally introduced in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999), Nemesis is a bioweapon created by Umbrella to hunt and eliminate members of STARS. Unlike Mr. X from Resident Evil 2, Nemesis is much more aggressive and appears throughout the game, relentlessly hunting Jill down. He evolves over the course of the game, gaining new weapons and becoming even more dangerous with every encounter. Expect him to show up at unexpected times, forcing you to stay on edge as you navigate through the chaos of Raccoon City.
With the core trio—Jill, Carlos, and Nemesis—you’re in for a wild ride through Resident Evil 3 Remake. Their fates intertwine in the dire circumstances of Raccoon City, and survival depends on how well you can navigate the perils of a world overrun by the T-Virus. Prepare yourself for a heart-pounding adventure filled with terrifying encounters, shocking twists, and of course, a relentless pursuit from the monstrous Nemesis.
