So Revelations 1+2 are a part of the canon storyline but you can go without playing them and not miss much. Between the two, Revelations 1 fills in what happened with Chris and Jill before 5/Lost in Nightmares, and Revelations 2 tells about where Claire ended up after the 1st CGI movie, Degeneration. (Revelations 2 also has a few recurring characters that hadn’t been mentioned or seen in the series since RE1, RE3 and/or RE5!) Both are solid games and you should play them, but aren’t necessary.

Rev1 is between 4 and 5, and Rev2 is between 5 and 6. They aren’t super important but they fill in some blanks and they’re also just dang good games. I’d give them a go!

They're technically side stories you can skip but they're fun. Revelations takes place before 5 and Rev 2 happens before 6
thank you all so much and this is all been helpful. I think I’ll stick to the other games and so maybe after finishing those I’ll play the revelation games
