BIOHAZARD 1.5
(Rejected BIOHAZARD/Resident Evil sequel)

Golgotha is the name of a creature considered for the role of final boss for Resident Evil 2. It was rejected in 1996 at only the concept art stage.

Development[]

Golgotha was an early idea for a final boss for the game. It was inspired by Zeiram, the proposed boss of the rejected BIOHAZARD Dash pitch. Over the course of development, the idea of Dr. William Birkin took hold, and Golgotha was repurposed as one of Birkin's mutant forms. The only footage of Golgotha is in photographs of BIOHAZARD 1.5 gameplay taken by a former Capcom developer, from a January 1997 build of the game.

Biology[]

It features the face of Albert Wesker at the end of its tail.[note 1] Based on the concept art in the Resident Evil Archives, Golgotha was able to mutate into a second form, referred to as "Super Golgotha" (スーパーゴルゴタ Sūpāgorugota?).

Further notes[]

  • The creature's name originates from "Golgotha", a hill outside Jerusalem which the Biblical Gospels write as the site of Jesus' crucifixion.
  • A creature with a similar body to Golgotha appears in the December build of Resident Evil 2, as deduced by the backgrounds. This may have been an early version of a Birkin mutation.

  1. In the Super Golgotha artwork, there is a note about the face in the tail which appears to say Wesker (ウェスカー u~esukā?) along with some other text.
