George Romero's Resident Evil Script
When Resident Evil was being considered for the basis of a film, George A. Romero and Paul W. S. Anderson competed for production rights with their scripts. In Romero's script, Wesker was not the captain of S.T.A.R.S., but instead a colonel. Though, he remains a double agent like in the games.

Lost Planet 2


As of November 17, 2009, Gamestop has announced an exclusive bonus item regarding its reservation. This item appears to be a Wesker and revolver skin. He is just merely a skin, however, as he doesn't appear in the game's main storyline and is just considered as extra content.

He is unlockable via a code inputted in the game's Edit menu. His code is "72962792".

Resident Evil: The Deck Building Game


Wesker is a character card in the Resident Evil DBG. He is an interesting character, in that he is not given damage reductions or bonuses like the other nine in the base set. Wesker's Level 1 ability is gaining more gold if he attacks an opposing player or Explores. He has a Level 2 ability that gives a player of his choice an extra Explore but this then forces them to explore regardless, which could put them at a significant disadvantage if they encounter a powerful Infected without any usable weapons at the time.

Wesker has the second highest amount of health in the game; 100 (second only to Chris, who has 120).



Another Wesker card is featured in the DBG expansion Alliance. This time, Wesker is an Infected card, shown in his Uroboros transformation form from the final battle of RE5. Wesker has 90 health and deals 70 damage to any target that fails to defeat him. These are the same stats given to the most powerful Infected of the base set, Uroboros Aheri. His additional effect adds +10 health and damage to any other Infected revealed that turn. He, along with the Uroboros Aheri is the most powerful Infected card in the entire game. He is also worth 9 Decorations, the most in the entire game.

A third Wesker card has been revealed as a character GenCon Indy 2011 promo card. This Wesker card has effects related to the amount of Maximum Health he has after being defeated by Infected. His Level 1 effect states that if Wesker's maximum Health is 80 or less, he gets +1 Card. His Level 2 effect says that if its 60 or less, he gets +1 Explore. This Wesker card also has 100 Health, like the original Wesker card from the base set.

Further notes

 * Wesker is the character with the most appearances throughout the Resident Evil series. He appeared in Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil 5, and has a cameo in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles during the Code Veronica and Operation Javier scenarios. One could say he appears in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis as the picture in the S.T.A.R.S. office, but not as an actual character.


 * According to his epilogue in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Wesker is somehow responsible for the Marvel zombies of Earth 2149. Magneto 2149 mentions making a deal with something to bring the zombie virus to his earth (apparently to give mutants a fighting chance against humans), while Wesker (part of the Marvel universe called Capcom) mentions developing marvelous zombies. This has, however, not been confirmed, and in any case, the Wesker featured in the Marvel vs. Capcom games isn't the same as the one featured in the main Resident Evil series.


 * Although Zombified Wesker was not a canonical element to the series (being an enemy in the Saturn version's battle mode), it ultimately foreshadowed the method of how he faked his death in future installments.


 * Wesker says 7 minutes in the fight between him and Jill Valentine, but originally, the play was given 10 minutes, and even lower if player reach the door immediately, according to this deleted dialogue.


 * Wesker says "isn't this one big family reunion?" to Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 5. He also said this in Resident Evil: Afterlife, but instead said it to Chris and Claire.


 * In Resident Evil 5, Wesker's previous height of 6'0" was retroactively changed to 6'3", to appear more threatening. Although in actual gameplay, he appears to be closer to 6'7".


 * In Marvel vs Capcom 3 if Wesker is the first character on his team he sometimes says "Three against three" this is a reference of Resident Evil 5 when Chris and Sheva are about to fight against Wesker and Jill, Wesker says "Two on two".


 * Wesker is the only main antagonist to appear in two games not related to Resident Evil.


 * In Nintendo Power's 250 Reasons to Love Nintendo Edition, Wesker was said to be Nintendo Power's 9th favorite villain. He is also reason #29 to love Nintendo.


 * The fight scene shown in Resident Evil: Afterlife between Wesker and the Redfield siblings is nearly identical to the fight scene shown in Resident Evil 5 where Wesker fought against Chris and Sheva.


 * If a player completes the game on Professional difficulty and then logs into Playstation Home, the player will be awarded with a Wesker decoration trophy. He will be wearing his Resident Evil 5 uniform and appearance along with his long overcoat.


 * If a player completes the bug hunting in the RE5 hub in Playstation Home and has save data of Resident Evil 5 on their Playstation 3, the player can go inside the building and speak with Reynard. Reynard will award the player a pair of Wesker's glasses for locating all the beetles.


 * Wesker is the character with the most Mercenaries appearances, he appears in RE4 Mercenaries, in RE5 Mercenaries and he is also one of the Characters in The Mercenaries 3D.


 * Wesker, alongside Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, has three cards in the Resident Evil DBG. Wesker's cards are two characters and one Infected, as opposed to Chris and Jill, which simply have three different character cards.


 * Wesker, like his mentor Oswell Spencer, bears much similarity to Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. Both betray their masters to achieve their own goals, and manipulate allies and enemies alike from behind the scenes. Both let their arrogance get the better of them, and their quest for ultimate power leads to their downfall. Unlike Palpatine, however, most of his personality traits and actions were fully manipulated by Spencer prior to his death.


 * It was suggested at Comic Con that Wesker would play a role in Operation Raccoon City, despite him not being present in Raccoon City during the events of the outbreak, instead working for the "3rd Organization" via agent Ada Wong. Although, since the events depicted in ORC is alternate compare to the series' canonical continuity, this might be possible.


 * Wesker's wardrobe is modified with every new movie or game release.


 * Wesker's Urobroros costume in the Mercenaries 3D intensley increases his damage resistance and strength, but his speed is decreased.


 * Concept storyboard artwork for Resident Evil 5 depicted an alternate version of Wesker's death: Wesker is in human form within magma (having apparently regained his humanity, as implied by his eyes being normal instead of cat-like), and Chris and Sheva then launch some missiles at Wesker while he is in the lava pit. Another concept art also indicated that Wesker was to have been shot in the head by Sheva on a landing platform.
 * Wesker appeared in IGN's top 100 video game villains list as Number 14. He also appeared in their 10 ten most memorable villains list as number 3.


 * Whilst Wesker shall not be appearing in Resident Evil 6, one of the new playable characters is confirmed to be his son, Jake Muller.
