Retroactive continuity is the deliberate changing of previously established facts in a work of serial fiction. The change is informally referred to as a "retcon," and producing a retcon is called "retconning". It should not be confused with a "plot hole", where the internal consistency of a particular story is at fault for not explaining changes in conditions that could reasonably happen (e.g. a character using a weapon they were not described as finding).
RE0 establishes that S.T.A.R.S.' Bravo Team arrived at Raccoon Forest and lost contact with HQ on July 23, RE1 originally established that contact was lost on July 24.[1][2]

Leon's first day
Original RE2 implies that Leon's first day was on Sept. 29, a party was set up for him in the East Office. This contradicts the game itself, by Sept. 28 there was only 4 people alive inside the station and most of the citizens were zombies, thus making the preparations for his welcoming party seemingly impossible.[3][4]

Raccoon's populance
