- The game connects to the Resident Evil Requiem trailer, prompting players to revisit it or try it for the first time.
- The character Alyssa Ashcroft attracts intrigue, leading to speculation about a possible remaster.
Although it lagged behind modern online games, Resident Evil Outbreak has managed to reinstate itself, thanks to fans navigating to fan-made servers. This surge reflects an increasing excitement among players, eager to explore connections to the Resident Evil universe.
