Resident Evil

Resident Evil has one of the longest-running continuous stories in gaming — almost every mainline game is canon, with a few remakes now serving as the definitive versions for modern players. The CGI movies (Degeneration, Damnation, Vendetta, Infinite Darkness, Death Island) are canon to the game universe, while the live-action Milla Jovovich films, the 2021 reboot, and the Netflix series form a completely separate, non-canon continuity.
