Useful ways through
Chronology is a map. This is where to begin.
The full list is for reference. These shorter routes preserve the reveals and relationships that make the universe work.
Resident Evil 7
Continue directly to Village, then return to the earlier canon.
Choose one continuity
Animated stories and each live-action branch should not be merged.
One title, all its doors
Pick the version that fits your evening.
When a story has researched editions or adaptations, those routes stay together. Some universes currently have richer version coverage than others; each page’s coverage note states the boundary.

Where this map gets its bearings.
Official franchise, creator and publisher sources anchor the chronology. When those sources disagree—or stay suspiciously quiet—we say so instead of inventing certainty.
