The Umbrella Chronicles is a 2007 on-rails shooter for the Wii from Capcom, released in Japan as Biohazard: The Umbrella Chronicles and set within the Resident Evil series. Its title screen presents the game name in a slow, formal spoken announcement, matching the series' dramatic presentation. The clip has since been shared on soundboards by Resident Evil fans who recognise the Biohazard branding and the Umbrella name. It remains useful because the short announcement immediately identifies the game and its horror tone, without needing any gameplay footage or explanation.
About this sound
The spoken title intro from Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, the Biohazard shooter for Wii. Fans use it to open horror game edits and retrospectives.
A deep, formal narrator voice announces the full title over a brief swell of dark, cinematic game music, with each word delivered slowly and deliberately like a title card being read aloud. The delivery is serious and ominous rather than energetic, giving the familiar Resident Evil name a sense of scale and dread before any gameplay begins. Hearing it instantly signals the Umbrella Corporation, bioterror and classic survival horror, so it works as a recognisable opening cue that sets a tense, nostalgic mood and tells viewers a Resident Evil story is about to unfold.
