Does resident evil 3 come after 2?

Yes, Resident Evil 3 (RE3) happens both before and after Resident Evil 2 (RE2) in the timeline, as it overlaps significantly; the first part of RE3 occurs just before RE2, then RE2's events unfold while the main character Jill Valentine is unconscious, and RE3 resumes and concludes after RE2 ends, leading to the city's destruction. For the best experience without spoilers, it's recommended to play RE2 first, then RE3, as the end of RE3 directly follows RE2's conclusion.

Director Paul W.S. Anderson wanted an original story, and Capcom wasn't interested in adding a movie-exclusive, super-powered character to their established game lore.
