TheResident Evilseries has been running for nearly 23 years, with more than two dozen games featuring a huge number of characters. One of these characters, Alex Wesker, has just been confirmed as aplayable mastermind inResident Evil Resistance, but some fans may be having some difficulty remembering who she is.
For fans who don’t know or have forgotten, Alex Wesker was an antagonist inResident Evil: Revelations 2which was released in 2015. While her name may suggest that she is a relative of Albert Wesker, that’s not quite right. Her real name is unknown as she was taken from her parents at an early age as part of the Wesker Project- which Albert Wesker was also part of. The two characters were close, though, and held important roles in Umbrella Pharmaceuticals. Alex Wesker was a member of the Umbrella Intelligence Division while Albert Wesker was a virologist.

Alex Wesker was also close to Umbrella Pharmaceuticals CEO Oswell Spencer, a character who has also been confirmed as a playable mastermind inResident Evil Resistance. There is a huge amount of lore to get into with Alex Wesker and Oswell Spencer’s relationship as he gave her the power to build a lab on Sonido de Tortuga Island. However, asResident Evil Resistanceisn’t canon, it’s unlikely that Capcom will offer any more information about this is the multiplayer mode.
The character also spent years on Sushestvovanie Island where she began to work on the Uroboros Virus and kept on working on the t-Phobos Virus. Capcom has confirmed thatResident Evil Resistancewill have several maps so it’s possible that it will create one for the island.
There are so manyResident Evilcharacters that fans love to hate, such as Ada Wong andResident Evil 4’s Ashley Graham. Alex Wesker isn’t one of them though, unless fans have a special enthusiasm for those who were experimented on for the Wesker Project. For many fans, she’s just not on their radar, her mastermind gameplay inResident Evil Resistancecould give fans a reason to love her and her cunning ways.
Capcom is rumored to have big plans for theResident Evilseries. The rumoredResident EvilTV series at Netflix is likely to move away from canon and give fans some new characters to love or hate. Leaks have also suggested that Capcom is developingResident Evil 8,and this couldanswer some questions that fans have about the ending ofResident Evil 7.
Resident Evil 3will launch on July 14, 2025 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
