Will Resident Evil 5 be Wesker's last game?

Gothic Girl | January 12, 2009 | Blog | Playstation 3 XBOX 360

Carbonox_Ratchet of the playstation.com boards has come up with an interesting theory as to whether Resident Evil 5 will be Albert Wesker's last game. It has been hinted at that RE5 will be "the beginning of the end"... Could this be the final RE game in the Umbrella/Wesker/Chris plotline? Will Chris finally defeat his nemesis once and for all?

Discuss in the RE5 forum

The latest trailers may not have revealed a truck load of story spoilers but it sure as heck showcased forms of desperation where the cast and their roles are concerned.

However, the biggest character to stand out in the trailers was of course the main antagonist, Albert Wesker.

What is his role in Resident Evil 5? Is it a role that can continue any further or did you feel that the trailer was more than enough to make you believe that this could really be the closure to so many things? It was stated before that the game will bring closure to many of the franchise's mysteries and plots, so could Albert Wesker's role in Resident Evil be heading to a closure too?

The rivalry between Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker can only last so long. It's been three games now and there's still no closure. Judging by the trailers, the sheer desperation on both of their faces indicated that someone will meet their end during the game.

oh, i was under the impression it would be the last RE game peroid. but i guess thats a stupid assumption since the series is so popular. anyway, Wesker's a cool villain so i hope he's still around later.

  I don't think the series itself is at an end. RE4's release introduced the series to a bunch of new fans who love the new action-oriented gameplay. The series was "revived" so to speak.
  So Capcom probably wants to end the current RE storyline that has been going on since the first game, and start a brand new plot that the newer fans can understand and follow from the start.

NOOOOOOO

He'll inject himself with something else and come back as a cooler zombie hybrid or a nemesis!

Just finish this...it's been going on since 1995, I just wanna get this done and wash my hands off it. The other fans can have the shooter RE for all I care...just end this thing here.

I am praying RE5 ties up a lot of lose strings, and puts the Wesker plotline to rest.
