What was the Japanese subtitle of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis?

The Japanese subtitle of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was “Last Escape.” In Japan, the game was released as Biohazard 3: Last Escape, continuing Capcom’s regional use of the Biohazard name.

The international title added “Nemesis” to emphasize the relentless Tyrant enemy pursuing Jill Valentine. That name became especially recognizable in North America and Europe, where the game launched as Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

The subtitle can be confused with the game’s enemy name because Nemesis is the most prominent threat in the story. “Last Escape” instead describes the game’s Japanese branding and its survival-focused narrative. It was the third main entry and originally launched for the PlayStation in 1999.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is also notable for its branching choices and quick-turn gameplay, features that helped distinguish it from earlier entries.
