PlotAlice awakens in a suburban home seemingly leading a normal life with her husband and daughter. However, this tranquility is short-lived as zombies invade their home, revealing that Alice is trapped in an artificial reality created by the Umbrella Corporation. As she escapes this simulation, she discovers she's deep within an underwater facility known as the Umbrella Prime. Here, the corporation conducts bio-organic weapon experiments and creates various simulated environments to test the T-virus. Alice unites with Ada Wong, an agent secretly working against Umbrella, and learns of a plan to rendezvous with a group of resistance fighters led by Leon S. Kennedy who aim to extract them from the facility.
As the group navigates through the recreated cities in the facility, they encounter clones of friends and foes from Alice’s past, all while battling hordes of the undead and other bio-engineered creatures. The facility's artificial environments simulate global locations such as Tokyo, New York, and Moscow, each presenting unique challenges and enemies. Meanwhile, the true objectives of Umbrella and its insidious AI, the Red Queen, begin to unfold. The team realizes that the corporation will stop at nothing to ensure the T-virus pandemic continues to spread, forcing them to fight not only for escape but also to prevent global annihilation.
