'''''Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles''''' is a sequel to earlier ''[[Resident Evil]]'' rail shooter ''[[Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles|Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles]]''. Set in 2002, it covers Leon S. Kennedy's backstory with Jack Krauser, hinted at in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', as the two are deployed deep into the South American jungles to investigate rumors of an infamous drug lord, Javier Hidalgo, having contact with an underground Umbrella researcher. They discover that the rumors are true and Javier has bought a considerable number of B.O.W.s to use as terror-weapons against his enemies, as well as samples of the T-Veronica virus, which he has used to unleash a plague of zombies upon the countryside. Meeting a mysterious girl named Manuela, the two men must find out why a drug lord has begun to dabble in bio-weaponry.
''The Darkside Chronicles'' is divided into three levels, each of which is subdivided into a number of chapters. Operation Javier is the main level, covering Leon and Krauser's efforts to battle Javier. Memory of a Lost City is an adaptation of ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'', framed as Leon recounting his previous experience with biohazard outbreaks to Krauser. Game of Oblivion is implied to be Leon's recollections/near-drowning induced fever dream of the story of the T-Veronica virus, as told to him by Claire Redfield after the events of ''[[
It's harder to place ''The Darkside Chronicles'' on the [[canon]] scale then its predecessor, as its adaptations change things more then ''The Umbrella Chronicles'' did.
