The Resident Evil franchise cycles through main characters fairly often. Frankly, it's a major part of the series' appeal at this point – and certainly to be expected. The games have been playing around with their protagonists since the very beginning: Resident Evil 1 was Chris and Jill's story, 2 was Claire and Leon's, 3 was just Jill's, and Code: Veronica was Claire's and Chris'. Notably, the transition from Resident Evil 7 to Village marked the first time the main character stayed consistent between two titles.
