Resident Evil: 8 Memorable Characters You'll Never See Again
6. Zoe Baker
Resident Evil 7’s hook was its shift away from worldwide bioterror to something more remote, more personal and downright creepier.
The majority of the title saw the player as regular schmuck Ethan Winters wandering about the Baker family estate and hiding from its infected residents where possible. Jack, Marguerite and son Lucas were all as twisted and as scary as each other in their own ways.
The Baker daughter Zoe was the exception to the rule and, being free from whatever plagued the rest of her family, she guided the player around the property to seek the antidote and escape.
In the canon version of events, Ethan only has enough antivirus to save his wife Mia and regretfully leaves Zoe behind. A controversial decision considering mere hours later his wife was running towards him with a chainsaw and Zoe has been nothing but an angel. Nice one, Ethan.
Luckily, the story of Zoe’s own escape continues in a DLC chapter and, in a special in-game dossier included with certain releases of Resident Evil Village, it’s confirmed that Zoe has started a new life under witness protection.
It was a really nice touch for Capcom to address this character's fate in both End of Zoe and RE Village’s lore, and we can rest assured, now that she’s safe, Zoe will be staying away from strange houses built on the bayou that may or may not contain cannibal families.
