TheResident Evil 3remake brings back all the classic terror players experienced back in 1999 duringJill Valentine’soriginal escape from the doomed Raccoon City, only this time it looks more beautiful than ever. Because it is a reimagining of a more than twenty-year-old game with tons of sequels, many mysteries andquestions left hanging in the airwere already addressed.

However, a few apples are still hanging from the tree. Because of the series' wealth of characters and storylines, some plots and characters never really found resolve, as the following ten entries show. Perhaps a future game will bring back some of these long-forgotten characters and let fans know what they have been up to since they leaving Raccoon City.
10Nicholai’s Fate
The originalResident Evil 3has several endings, some of which involve Nicholai dying. In otherendings, he escapes unscathed. The remake leaves his fate up in the air. After shooting him, Jill and Carlos abandon the mercenary on a helipad as they fly away in a helicopter.
Moments later, the missile comes and obliterates thezombie-infestedcity. It is unlikely he survived, but it is impossible to know for sure since the camera does not show him blowing up along with the city. Perhaps a helicopter came and rescued him in nick of time or he found some other quick getaway.
9Seeker Murphy
Seeker Murphy is the U.B.C.S. member Jill finds injured in a garage. Just a few seconds later Nicholai kills him. A file nearby details his life up to that point, but it doesn’t paint the whole picture. Did Nicholai have a specific reason forkilling him other than infection?
Maybe Murphy discovered something about Nicholai? At the end of the day, however, maybe how he went out was better than turning into a zombie.
8What Does Jill Do Between Resident Evil 3 And Resident Evil Revelations
With these remakes, it is hard to tell which games are canon and which ones are not. Are the missions inResident Evil: Umbrella Chroniclesa solidified part of the lore?

If so, we already know what Jill does betweenResident Evil 3Revelations, as she and Chris start the BSAA. If the on-rails shooter is not cannon, then the games have some extra story space to fill, since a large gap of time exists between Raccoon City’s destruction and the events ofResident Evil Revelations.
7Who Is In The Post-Credits Sequence?
After the credits roll, a short scene plays showing someone picking up the broken vaccine. It looks like the inside of an apartment one would find in a city, and a punching bag hangs in the background. The person’s face is never shown, and they walk by so quickly, it is hard to even guess who it is.
Some theorize this isChris Redfield,and could potentially lead intoCode Veronica. Others think it is simply the game saying that, despite Raccoon City’s destruction, the battle against Umbrella is far from finished.
6What Does Carlos Do Afterwards?
One of the biggest mysteries left hanging inResident Evil 3is Carlos. The U.B.C.S. officer never shows up again after escaping the city with Jill. Does he help Chris and Jill take down his former employer, or does he call it quits and attempt to live a normal life?

Umbrella probably doesn’t like the idea of him being around after all he has seen, so he may have a target on his back. Is he still alive by the timeResident Evil 7comes around?
5The Other S.T.A.R.S. Members
The originalResident Evil 3features a cameo by Barry Burton, depending on which ending one receives.
He is completely absent from the remake, however, and so are the epilogues detailing what all the characters do afterRaccoon City’s destruction. Do Barry and the other former S.T.A.R.S. members leave before the outbreak, or did they have to adventures of their own during the game’s events?
4Nicholai’s Employer
The human antagonist, Nicholai, is driven by the dollar and his own self-preservation. All of his actions are in service of a mysterious employer who goes unnamed throughout the game’s duration. While fans can make some educated guesses as to who hired him, it is never set in stone.
3Kendo’s Fate
A short DLC episode fromResident Evil 2details a non-canon scenario of what Kendo does after his appearance in that game.
The keyword here is “non-canon.” Does Kendo actually escape the city after enduring the tragedy of his daughter’s infection, or does he stay in Raccoon City as it goes up in smoke? Regardless of what happens, it probably is not happy.
2Tyrell
Tyrell dies at the hands of Nemesis after helping Jill and Carlos, so fans already know his ultimate fate. However, he spends a significant portion of the game off camera, making his way towards either Jill or Carlos.

What happens to him during this time? Does he meet other survivors or is it simply a mad dash towards his objective as he mows down and runs from undead hordes.
1Why Does Jill Not Get Infected When Bitten
Jill gets infected in the story and is cured by Carlos. This entry is referring to all the times the player is bitten and she manages to miraculously stave off infection. One could argue that what happens in gameplay isn’t necessarily canon, but then why not make it a different animation?
Whatever the case, most gamers are happy it is not an instant game over after one bite, otherwise the game would be nearly impossible.
