Raccoon City Explained: Rise, Fall and Legacy

By newsgame


Few cities have had as lasting an impact as Resident Evil’s Raccoon City. From the streets to the sewers to the clock tower to the zoo, this once great, always chaotic metropolis has had a grip on our hearts since we first donned the blue uniform of the RCPD. It makes sense that it would come back in the upcoming Resident Evil 9: Requiem, but how did we get here. Noah Waterman takes us through the ups and downs of every appearance Raccoon City has made: from the mainline games to the deep cuts to the downright non-canon. Join us for the history of Raccoon City.
