Umbrella Online

A Resident Evil fan forum with news, wiki and media sections

Umbrella Online is an English-language community site built around the Resident Evil franchise and, more broadly, survival horror. It runs on XenForo forum software and combines discussion boards with editorial feeds, a wiki, a media gallery and status updates from members. The site states plainly that it is a fan community and has no association with Capcom, and that "Resident Evil", "Biohazard" and "Umbrella Corps" are registered trademarks of Capcom Co., Ltd.

Forum structure and discussion areas

The board is organised into forums, a searchable forum index, a wiki and a media section. Threads visible on the site cover video games, movies and television, books and comics, and off-topic conversation. Recent activity listed at the time of writing included a thread on video game manufacturers and the European Union, a discussion of Resident Evil mobile games, a thread on Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, and topics on Silent Hill: Townfall, Resident Evil Requiem, The Walking Dead: Dead City, the previous versus next console generation and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.

News feed and aggregated coverage

A news section republishes headlines credited to external outlets. Items shown included Google's list of the most-searched Halloween costumes, a clip from Shudder's The Cycle presented at IGN Fall Fan Fest 2026, the horror game Jiaohun, a review of Whalefall from IGN, Hideo Kojima's review of Zach Cregger's Resident Evil film via GameSpot, and an IGN interview with the actors behind Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil Requiem.

Game, film and book indexes

The site maintains structured entries for titles discussed by the community, drawing on TGDb for games and TMDb for films. Game entries list developer and release date, for example Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival (Mad Head Games, released 8 October 2026), Silent Hill: Townfall (Screen Burn, released 24 September 2026), Resident Evil Veronica (Capcom Development Division 1, release dated 31 December 2027), Resident Evil Resistance (NeoBards Entertainment, released 3 April 2020), Resident Evil Re:Verse (NeoBards Entertainment, released 28 October 2022) and Back in 1995 (Throw the warped code out, released 28 April 2016).

Film entries carry creator, release date and a percentage score, including The Whisper Man (James Ashcroft, 2026), Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (Joe Lynch, 2007), Bone Lake (Mercedes Bryce Morgan, 2025), Barbarian (Zach Cregger, 2022), Pinocchio: Unstrung (Rhys Frake-Waterfield, 2026) and The End of Oak Street (David Robert Mitchell, 2026). Book entries name author and discussion date, such as Ward D by Freida McFadden, Sweetpea by C. J. Skuse, The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay, the three Zombie Apocalypse! titles by Stephen Jones and Breathers by Scott G. Browne.

Wiki and community features

The wiki section holds reference entries on Resident Evil creatures, with pages for T-002 (Tyrant), Yawn, Spider, Black Tiger and Web Spinner, each attributed to a contributor and dated April 2024. Members can post status updates, and the site displays a members-online counter and a recently active members list. A media gallery and a friends section are also part of the navigation.

Site status and membership

At the time of writing the homepage carried a notice that a system reactivation was underway, with perimeter sectors partially restored and some modules still to appear during a second deployment phase, alongside a statement that additional content and recovered archives would be unlocked as stabilisation continued. The board reported 15 zombie-themed members online and 14 guests, with one staff member active in the previous 48 hours.
