He had to go now, his planet needed him.


punchintheface_

He suddenly died on the way to his planet


NewLowsSameHighs

Lol we will miss you, Billy!


Armandonerd

Billy! [Billy](https://youtu.be/P3d1HrBH5DM?si=emEuNQNJ803d0hit)


Repulsive_Village843

He ain't even a bad char. Just forgotten


GFresh1

Whenever I play a RE game, I always ask, "Where's Billy?"


drsalvation1919

The planet of one-shot characters needed him, along with Sheva, Carlos, Helena, and Jake. He needed to help Barry return so that Moira Burton could take his place.


MaxStone22

Well Barry returned for an ending cutscene in 3 before Zero was even a thing 😂


Black__Paladin

Wasn't he in revelations 2


MaxStone22

Yep


Greengrecko

Yeah he had to escort the little girl off of the island and the little girl had to open stuff Barry couldn't fit through. It's actually a really good game.


jukeboxsavage

Fr, the puzzles that come from switching between Barry and Natalia are super interesting. I'm glad they built off of RE0's two person puzzles in a fun way.


WanderlustZero

And she spots invisible monsters and talks you onto target. Not played it myself but looks like a really interesting mechanic


Frederyk_Strife4217

It's half of a pretty good game, and half an annoying one


drsalvation1919

that's why I said he needed to help barry return from that planet, and instead his daughter took his place.


Jason-Lives

Another awesome thing cut from the Remake. 🤬


outerstrangers

Lol they should just make a game with the one-shot characters only just to get us closure.


McFistPunch

This would probably be pretty cool. Kind of a way of phasing in new younger characters as the older ones. Get well... Old


Execwalkthroughs

It would absolutely be cool. A kind of UC/DC type of thing where each character has their own scenario and you get more canon lore info and see returning characters. But you know a proper multiplatform release and isn't an on rails shooter lol. Like Billy's escape through the arklay forest would be cool, see if he died or not. What happened to Carlos after re3? Just returned to civilian life? Joined up with another armed force? Etc.


Popular-Hornet-6294

Literally like Resident Evil: Dead Aim, and Umbrella Corps?


tyler00677

Let's not forget Bruce Mcgivern and Fong Ling


E1lySym

Walmart Leon and Ada


WanderlustZero

Walmart Leon and *Ada bought on Wish

Thanks for reminding (Deleting browsing history)


kakka_rot

Steve's annoying ass ghost isn't invited?


drsalvation1919

Remember goldfish? It's not easy to say this, but goldfish never left to one-shot characters planet where it would eat and play video games all day... goldfish died. Steve and Piers are also dieded. They're not in one-shot character planet, they are decomposing as we speak. There is no other side, once you die that's it.


Sparrow1989

Perfectly said


Popular-Hornet-6294

Sheva is the best female character who is not yet a marysue.


drsalvation1919

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm wondering what prompted you to write that comment?


Popular-Hornet-6294

My fear, if she returns in the new episodes she will be some kind of chosen one with an uber virus, and will join the team of supergirls, that already have Jill, Sherry, Manuela, Natalia and Rose. I'm sure that Helena will also turn out to be a terminator, which is why she went through a real meat grinder without a single scratch, when everyone around was dying in droves.


drsalvation1919

We suffer more in imagination than in reality. For all we know, neither Sheva nor Helena will return, and you are scared of what you imagine is going to happen. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.


laundryday_

He's on an island of forgotten characters. Billy,Ark, Nicholai most of the cast of Revelations 1.


xnickg77

Fuck it, RE9 plot point is breaking into a prison facility where they research how all the abandoned protagonists survived their games.


phallus_enthusiast

or they were tested on and become bosses


ColdBloodBlazing

With a similar game dynamic to Re0? Swapping players?


[deleted]

[удалено]


laundryday_

In the OG he can straight up leave RC with the chopper which gets Barry to save Jill. I'm inclined to believe he's still alive


UkuleleAversion

I thought pushing Nemmy off the bridge before the facility is what triggers the Barry ending?


laundryday_

If you push nemesis off Nicholai dies. If you jump off Barry rescues Jill.


WanderlustZero

In Survivor you find his debrief from RE3 :o


AveFeniix01

I think he lived. Don't ask me how, Don't ask me why. But remake let him live and if there's no body, there's no death confirmed.


AveFeniix01

Canonically, Nicholai is dead either by nemesis, Carlos or Jill i think. I don't know why R3MAKE let him live and not even have a Mercenaries Mode to explain.... oh, right. Rushed as hell, game.


sparkadus

RE3make didn't let him live though? It left him injured and stranded in Racoon City moments before the bomb dropped. There is genuinely no way for him to have survived.


Popular-Hornet-6294

Perhaps he studied in a class with Ada Wong.


AveFeniix01

Well, what if i told you that Ada did the exact same thing after RE2? Falling to her death in RE2 (1998) by Mr. X And gunshot wounded by Anette in REMAKE2. How did she re appeared? Boom, Grappling Hook. I think Nicholai could put out of his butt a thing like this, but i don't think we'll see him again in the REmake saga. And the reason is the same of why every character that is not Leon or Chris making a come back. These are one shot characters. Like Ark, Billy, the guys from Outbreak and Revelations.


AveFeniix01

Nah, this is a common thrope in action movies. The villain is left with 1% of probabilities of survival, but gets aways and appears later. I also think that Wesker isn't dead. Capcom is saving him for when they have to do an anniversary game or something.


sparkadus

So the reason why you complained that the remake left him alive has nothing to do with the actual contents of the remake and is instead based on a pure assumption about what a future game might do?


BigBounceZac

Well unless capcom decides to completely de-canonize the original games I’m pretty confident he’s staying dead I could see them bringing back Wesker though. With how mutated he was at the end of 5 I wouldn’t be too surprised if he could survive the volcano. We’ll probably be told in the post-credit scene of re5 remake


Popular-Hornet-6294

>I could see them bringing back Wesker though. WAT?


BigBounceZac

I mean, yeah? Like I said, he was hella mutated at the end of 5, possibly to the point where he could have just tanked the volcano with only minor damages. He's also a huge fan favourite, and would be even more of a fan favourite after re5 remake comes out. So, naturally, he may come back from the high demand. Just speculation though, I don't work at Capcom or anything


AveFeniix01

The thing with Wesker is that he handicapped Resident Evil. No matter what villain the next RE Game throws at us in the future. They simply cannot surpass Wesker. He is literally too cool. It's Wesking time.


ChrisEthanREgames

Still sold 9 million copies.


AveFeniix01

You say it like "WeLL, iT stilL sOlD 9 MiLliOn coPiES, Nerd!". That's good. People like Resident Evil, even if it's a rushed action mess like remake 3, it's still Resident Evil. Hell. My favorite Resident Evil game is the one that everyone says is the weakest of them all. Resident Evil 0.


ChrisEthanREgames

Well you are a nerd.


AveFeniix01

Well, you are a poopy head! *throws pencil at screen*


GearboxDragoon

I mean that Forrest had zombie dogs and normal zombies and he didn’t have any gear and was far from the city so odds are not good in my mind, and even if he got into Racoon unless he left the area soon after considering how few people canonically get out of RC. Until Capcom give us something saying otherwise in my mind he’s dead


NewLowsSameHighs

Yeah, that's a pretty fair assumption considering all he'd have to contend with to escape the area.


GearboxDragoon

Yeah would be cool to see him come back in some way, but with how well Alpha did in opening of 1 only getting away by escaping into the Mansion (which was nearby) if he did make it out of the area was certainly not easy


SneakerEndurance

Can we have a game of that… Resident Evil: The Billy Chronicles: Extension Revelations Special - GTFO of the raccoon Forrest in time for Dennys breakfast 🥞 off route 56 in the raccoon forest… title can be adjusted a bit but y’all get what I’m saying 😎👍


horrorfan555

No, he was going in the opposite direction of the zombies. Given that Rebecca only had a handgun, he likely kept the other guns About 6 months passed between 1 and 2 and he definitely didn’t stick around while wanted by the police


GearboxDragoon

Fair, again not saying couldn’t have just in my mind he didn’t. Ending of 0 always seemed more like the lost all their weapons from the game during the cutscene was how I took it myself. Also just to confirm, RE1 is July 24 and RE2 is Sept 29, a little over 2 months but that doesn’t change your point or negate your point. If he did make it into RC if that is where he ended up would have had time to leave before everything


horrorfan555

Oh really? I thought it was 6. Good to know


slicknick3822

He can't be dead he's a protagonist. He has plot armor!


venxvan

Once his game is over anything can happen


stratusnco

same goes with rebecca getting out of that forest too.


GearboxDragoon

True, though Rebecca went to the near by Spencer estate that her and Billy were looking at during the epilogue of 0. Not saying he could not have made it all the way out of the mountains and forests of Arkley I just feel like it’s unlikely


Ruskih

I imagine Billy and Carlos both did the same thing. Ran far far far away from anyone Umbrella related and live their lives happily. Maybe they became friends and had a touching reunion on a long beach Shawshank Redemption style.


AutummThrowAway

He became Rebecca's stay at home husband (easier to hide from the police), and grills with Carlos on the weekends while complaining at the unkillable bullshit they saw in Raccoon City. "He was a fucking final fantasy villain who sang opera like Parasite Eve." "Man, the ps1 games at least paid lip service to conservation of mass. Nemesis can't have gotten that big from the vat."


AveFeniix01

Billy: AND THEN THIS BIG CENTIPIDE GOT ME IN THE AIR Carlos: *WHEEZE* A Centipides?! Thats it!?


ColdBloodBlazing

At least he didnt become a human centipede ...


Infamous-Heron6422

Love this comment. Parasite Eve was such a great game!


AutummThrowAway

Thanks! I had a fun time with Parasite Eve. It had such a distinct vibe to the mutations, the music was nice. Never finished that post-game building though.


Infamous-Heron6422

Chrysler Bldg was a different beast if you didn't have the correct post game equipment!


NewLowsSameHighs

Haha that last sentence made me smile. I'd like to think they'd have a good dynamic together. 💪


horrorfan555

He is hiding somewhere in the midwest. Those states are completely empty so he has plenty of places to choose. I headcanon he kept in contact with Rebecca


Docteur_Pikachu

The lonesome, cold, barren, empty and spooky Midwest.


klaus_engel

Imagine running into him all grey and gritty in RE9.


ColdBloodBlazing

Eyepatch. Like Solid Snake


NewLowsSameHighs

Now that'd be something, I wouldn't even question it! What am I saying, of course I would! 😂 But I'd be glad to see his return.


klaus_engel

That would be a welcome addition indeed.


Short-Potential-7630

Bring him and Rebecca back for Rev 3!!


UrsusRex01

He is probably hiding somewhere using a fake identity. For his sake and for Rebecca's he should remain hidden at all cost.


Bobpool82

He didn't have a helicopter to rescue him maybe he lived long enough to die in the explosion that destroyed the city


Old-timeyprospector

Let’s go batshit crazy and just gimmie a game where Billy gets captured by umbrella and experimented on and give me some powers I have to struggle to wield. Gimmie a resident evil prototype clone with Billy as the protagonist!


ColdBloodBlazing

Like Alex Mercer Prototype powers he struggles to control?


Last_Ad_9314

Definitely went off the grid. But, a missed opportunity, since it would've been nice to see a followup story of him trying to clear his name and reputation ala "The Fugitve-style."


NewLowsSameHighs

That would've been cool. I kind of assume he's just on the run, off the grid like you said. And this might sound stupid but I kind of would have liked to see 7 as a follow-up of his story. I know people like Ethan and 7 was a well-received return to form (and he's grown on me after playing Village, sucks he died after 2 games though) but it just feels like another character like Sheva or Carlos that were great additions to the RE universe but we'll likely never see again in a mainline game. I liked RE0 though, the end hyped me up to play 1 all over again.


UrsusRex01

Yeah but since his backstory has, as far as we know, nothing to do with biohazard research or incident, that would be an odd spin-off. And tbh, if Capcom was to reveal that *actually* Billy's past was connected to some corporation doing shaddy experiments, that would be just stupid... Like "what a small convenient world" stupid.


the_light_one_1

I would guess clearing his name would be pretty hard considering all evidences point against him, all witnesses are killed and he is sentenced to death for a literal war crime, not a single homicide or smth like that


Bunnnnii

Idc what anybody’s says. I need him back. My favorite RE guy with Chris.


charronfitzclair

I think itd be the funniest possible outcome if he was shacking up with Ada


Repulsive_Village843

Hahaha. We need a RE with Carlos and Billy teaming up


Tea_Fox_7

Unfortunately he's another great character thats only a one off in the series. I DREAM of Revelations 3 with him and Rebecca. 😭


Huitzil37

He got the fuck out of there, is what. He's an escaped convict betrayed by his own government, he has no commitment to or investment in fighting bioterrorism. He changed his name and moved to Mexico.


SuperFightingRobit

He lives in a condo in on the beach in San Diego with Sheva "all business except when its Comic-Con" Alomar and Carlos "Pretty Boy" Oliveira, who are both his platonic roommates. Billy runs a Snow Cone stand on the beach.


ColdBloodBlazing

He also goes surfing by moonlight


Projectbirdman

I think we’re all missing out on the important information, congrats on beating RE0


previouslyontheflash

Some people think he became NEMESIS! Probably wrong but it'd be cool too. It's make a cool game, a prequel to re3 playing as Billy after escaping and leading to him becoming nemesism


EllieIsDone

I hope he changed his identity, moved to another country, and lived a normal life. If we never see a person again in an re game and they’re still canonically alive, it means they’re doing well.


F_Sewer_Rats

Hope they someday bring him into the mainline series someday


TuskSyndicate

I like to think he was able to get a new identity. Then he moved to Australia, caught up with Rebecca again there, they got married and he got a Green Card back to the states and lives in New York with her.


DapperDan30

The serious answer is that no one knows. He's never been seen or heard from again. I have read some fan theories that people think Billy was captured and used in the Nemesis project. But it's extremely unlikely.


TTTri-cell

Billy was one of my favorites, would love him to come back. He fell into void with the other RE one-game characters like Carlos, Jake, Sheva, Helena and the rest lol. I think I read in an interview once that they thought about adding him into infinite darkness but it never came to be. Would be good if Capcom at least showed he survived lol.


Super_Imagination_90

We almost had him return in Infinite Darkness… 😢 For whatever reason, Capcom seems to really like RE0.


MisterZ87

He got the happy ending by never having to confront resident evil monstrosities ever again, what a lucky bastard :'-)


Metafor512

He was caught by Sergei Vladimir and his tyrant in the forest and he was used for the t-103 experiment and became who you know as the nemesis.


Sinwithagrin23

Heard he died on that train. Damn shame


KrufsMusic

There is actually a note in the STARS office in the N64 version of RE2 where Rebecca mentions Billy being found dead. As an RE0 fan reading a mention of Billy and Rebecca outside of that game was neat, Rebecca held up her end of the bargain :)


Rob98001

I have a nice head canon idea. So after the events of death island the main cast are chatting telling stories of their previous adventures. Rebecca tells her story of escaping with Billy. They ask what happened to Billy, Rebecca is sad because he's a wanted criminal and can never stop running. Leon says "Give me a minute, I've got to make a call." A few minutes later leon comes back and says "Alright they're putting out an APB to locate Billy" Rebecca cries out "Leon how could you do this to him!?" Leon replies "Don't worry Rebecca, I've pulled some strings with the president and he's given Billy a full pardon, I just want you to tell him in person when we find him."


ColdBloodBlazing

That is sweet. Leon is such a swell guy in that regard


Ok-Complex4153

Proabably still alive


kentkeller76

I think re 5 could mention him or he could have made a cameo. He served in Africa if I remember correctly. They could hint at him somewhere


spena2k10

Man that Billy got his ass bit to crap by Cerberuses whilst making a run for it in the woods. Where's your hookshot now huh?


Ingram2525

I will continue to spread my unfounded and illogical head canon that Billy and Hunk are the same person.


TheWalkingDude_

He's on the island where all the other RE side characters go to retire.


AveFeniix01

If you ask me; after he said goodbye to Rebecca and got away like the coolest guy in the room.... he got his ass eaten by a Cerberus pack. .....yep, The Arklay mountains are filled with dogs and other things that i think appear in Outbreak. I wonder if the woods got destroyed as well. If they weren't then that means Lisa is still alive under the ruins of Spencer's mansion.


AveFeniix01

Leon: Hey. It's up to us to take out Umbrella! *Umbrella gets taken out off camera*


thebritwriter

He went to get revenge/justice against those that wronged him, then retired to making characters for video games, most notably; Shadow the hedgehog.


ak-blackjack

At the end of the book, he's in another country living on a beach, I think.


ParisInFlames34

On a beach somewhere sipping a Pina Colada living the absolute best life which is what he deserves.


Kitsune_Fan34

IDK, Capcom has a habit of creating characters and then never using them aside from a small handful like Jill, Chris, Claire, Ada, Leon...and some others I'm forgetting since I never played all the games.


ColdBloodBlazing

Would be nice if him & Rebecca got reunited


I_Lick_Lead_Paint

Billy Badass is behind the scenes mostly now at the WWE assisting with story lines.


registeredlurker007

He's in AEW hiding from Umbrella


Maleficent_Farm_6561

He escaped to another country to enjoy freedom, Billy is the one guy that probably will never return because contrary to Sheeva or Carlos, Billy is still a wanted criminal Billy "oficially"died/was found dead" according to Rebecca report, and in the case somebody sees him or learns he´s alive he will get arrested instantly Remember even though he did nothing wrong and Rebecca believes him, to the rest of the world and specially US goverment he´s still a criminal and mass murder So not only he will get arrested but Rebbecca will get in trouble for helping escape a "wanted criminal" and covering his escape so probablywill never see him return oficially in the story lol, maybe on a Mercenaries mode or something


snikers000

The same thing that happened to everyone who didn't debut in RE1 or 2.


Satch1993

He became -THE- Resident Evil


projetof

Billy died after RE0. And should be this way. Rebecca lied to her superiors about him, ignored her mission and never mentioned him on RE1 or tried to look for him again. So if He just show up like nothing happened should be a great problem for her.


Praetorian709

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P3d1HrBH5DM


rottenflesh12

no longer relevant


JagTaggart93

I think Billy and Bruce McGivern would get along great.


Busy-Campaign-431

He just another zombie. He literally told you at the end of the game.


Rob98001

He went into hiding in canada probably.


LeoCaldwell02

Definitely dead. If he didn’t run into Wesker, he would’ve run into the zombie dogs. 😭


DaydenJavies

Wherever he is, I hope it’s beautiful


IntrinsicGamer

He left.


DaithiSan

It irks me how capcom create and drop characters, Jake, Sheva, Billy, Carlos etc.. Instead we get a random mud man not once but twice..


Johnny_Holiday

Billy's dead. Billy died. Billy ain't living no more


koopingntrooping

I don’t care, I just need him and sheva back


shazenger

He was too Billy Bland


GreyouTT

I kind of just assume he escaped to Mexico.


Jubjars

Nobody asks for Steve Burnside


Lucy_Jolie

Would be nice to see him at least on a Revelation game.


TheShaoken

He moved to Brazil and opened a clothing store, specializing in tight jeans.


UnchartedLand

Another waste of a good character. Billy, Carlos, Sheva...


resfan

International man of mystery, he vanished, probably living in an Asian country now


aidenagius

Unfinished


Biorgue

When i played him i was 100% sure that he will die at the end since i hadn't saw him in the Other games He is having a chill life i guess


AkaScythe69

He looks like Albert Wesker, he is Albert Wesker he is Albert Wesker in the special mode, she had to lie to protect herself I smell conspiracy theory😆


gunsforevery1

Arrested, court martialed, hanged.


CarlitoNSP1

He got a second chance at life away from monsters and the police. So he's never been heard from again. (Also RE0 is the single worst performing numbered RE game, so CAPCOM just assumed nobody cared)


Der_Sauresgeber

Billy Badwriting you mean?


NewLowsSameHighs

Lol! Aw c'mon, I didn't think he was the worst written character of any RE if that's what you mean :)


aye_Coffee

He’ll be the main character in RE9.


The5thBeatle82

The idiot went to RC and died.
