Resident Evil 8: Every Plot Detail You Need To Know

8. Chris Redfield Kidnaps Ethan's Daughter

When we last saw Ethan at the end of RE7 he'd just endured a traumatic ordeal at the Bakers’ home. What started out as a search for his missing wife soon descended into unearthing the truth about a mysterious new virus, ending with him facing off against a giant, mutated face. It’s at this point that the familiar face of Chris Redfield arrives to carry Ethan to safety via helicopter.

Fast forward a few years and Ethan and Mia (who survived the ordeal too) are living a new life together under the protection of the The Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA for short). They even have a child together named Rosemary.

However, this peaceful life doesn’t last for long, as seen in the game's trailers.

Chris, who’s described on the official website as being the BSAA captain, arrives at the Winters' home, shoots Mia, and takes their infant daughter.

Kidnapping children isn’t a move we’d associate with the beloved series veteran; but there must be a reason for his actions, however questionable they may be, right?

Whatever the former STARS member’s motives are, they’ll doubtlessly be unveiled to us at some point in Village.
