That strange and unexpected hurdle behind us, we could focus on development! When You Least Expect It… X and the T-103 don’t particularly sound like they could be the same creature, but T-00 Tyrant and T-103 Tyrant definitely do. Finally, this name allowed us to better tie together both tyrant forms. It was also a better fit canonically with the series, using the name seen in later releases. For starters, this name made it super clear exactly what the enemy was, which is especially important considering that some of our backers aren’t Resident Evil™ veterans. Because both names were synonymous with the Boss, we really wanted to be careful – give this fearsome enemy the wrong name and we ran the risk of confusing or alienating our audience.Įventually, we decided on T-00 Tyrant. When we approached Capcom for clarification, we found ourselves in discussion with them rather than getting a straight up answer. X – it was only in later games that the name T-00 was adopted, taken from the capsule the tyrant deployed from. Older veterans will remember when Resident Evil™ 2 was first released, the tyrant was referred to in strategy guides and on action figure packaging as Mr. We all had plenty of ideas for how to bring him to life, and trying to keep them under wraps until we’d built the core game engine provided quite the challenge.īut weirdly, the first obstacle was actually working out what his name should be. Throughout the entire Resident Evil™ series, very few Boss Monsters have inspired as much dread or been as popular as this iconic adversary. When we started the project, some of our design team were foaming at the mouth at the prospect of designing the legendary Mr. Who are we referring to? Why, it’s the T-00 Tyrant of course, better known to some of you as Mr.

Welcome back – you’ve arrived just in time for one of the most anticipated Boss Monster reveals we’ve had yet.
