"The critically acclaimed survival horror title takes players back to the events that took place between Resident Evil® 4 and Resident Evil® 5, revealing the truth about the T-Abyss virus. Resident Evil Revelations features series favorites Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, plus their respective BSAA partners - Parker Luciani and Jessica Sherawat. The action begins on board a supposedly abandoned cruise ship, the ‘Queen Zenobia’, where horrors lurk around every corner, before players head for the mainland and the devastated city of Terragrigia. With limited ammo and weapons available, the race is on to survive the horror of Resident Evil Revelations."
— Description on Steam

Set in 2005, between the events of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5,[1] Revelations depicts the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), a counter-terrorism group co-founded by Chris and Jill shortly after its establishment.[2] The game begins as the latter and her partner, Parker Luciani, board the Queen Zenobia.[2][3][4]

Set mainly in Europe, Revelations sees the player characters traverse ravaged cities, ports, and snowy mountains.[2] Jill and Parker are sent out by BSAA head Clive R. O'Brian to search for Chris and his new partner, Jessica Sherawat, who have reportedly gone missing during a mission. Meanwhile, Chris and Jessica are operating in a snowy mountain region, searching for evidence of the return of Il Veltro, a bio-terrorist organization responsible for the attack and subsequent outbreak in Terragrigia, an artificial aquapolis that was utterly destroyed on orders from Morgan Lansdale, director of the Federal Bioterrorism Commission.

Jill and Parker make their way into the Mediterranean Sea, acting on Chris' last known coordinates. They find themselves taking a tugboat to a seemingly abandoned cruise ship known as the Queen Zenobia. On board, they encounter horrific mutants known as Ooze, victims of the t-Abyss virus, and are unable to locate Chris or Jessica. Instead, they find a dummy of Chris and are knocked unconscious by an Il Veltro agent, stripped of their weapons, and separated.

Chris and Jessica find a base of operations for Il Veltro, an airstrip in the mountains, while Keith Lumley and Quint Cetcham are dispatched to the airstrip to investigate Il Veltro's actions. O'Brian informs Chris and Jessica that Jill and Parker are missing in the Mediterranean, and they are sent out to find them. Jill wakes up in one of the cabins on the Queen Zenobia and is contacted by Parker, who tells her to regroup on the bridge. They are attacked by Raymond Vester, an FBC agent who knows Parker from when he was an FBC agent. Meanwhile, Quint and Keith find video footage of an invisible creature killing a Veltro operative, later revealed to be a new form of Hunter infected with the t-Abyss, which allows it to turn invisible for sneak attacks.

Chris and Jessica land on a ship they think is the Queen Zenobia, but discover it is its sister ship the Queen Semiramis. Jill and Parker try to escape the flooding engine room and head to the Comm tower to contact O'Brian to report what is happening. But they are met with bad news that the Regia Solis, the satellite used to fry Terragrigia using the sun's power, has been reactivated and is being aimed at the Queen Zenobia. Quint leads Jill and Parker (via comm link) to the UAV on the ship's bow, and the two race against time to find the controls. They use the UAV's chaff to guide the Satellite's targeting system away from the ship. However, as the Regia Solis hits the UAV, a wave hits the ship, threatening to sink the Queen Zenobia.

Quint and Keith discover that O'Brian orchestrated Veltro's re-emergence, along with other crucial information, but they lose contact with O'Brian when an airstrike decimates Valkoinen Mökki. Chris and Jessica arrive on the Queen Zenobia, and Jill and Parker are confronted by the Veltro operative. Before he can reveal more, Jessica shoots him. Raymond reveals himself to be alive, having worn a Kevlar vest, and working with O'Brian. Jessica wounds Parker and initiates the self-destruct sequence, confirming her to be the mole.

Chris and Jill confront Lansdale, who reveals that he worked with Veltro in the Terragrigia Panic to increase the FBC's funding and international influence. Notes left by former crew members reveal that he had dispatched a research team to create a vaccine and then killed them off by releasing the ship's monsters after they'd sent it to him. Despite the Queen Zenobia self-destructing, they manage to neutralize the virus. Pilot Kirk Mathison contacts Chris and Jill, and they meet with an injured Parker. Despite their attempt at saving him, Parker falls into the fire below a broken catwalk.

O'Brian informs Chris and Jill about the truth behind the mission. He had orchestrated the events to gather evidence of Lansdale's involvement in Terragrigia. He then informs them of the results from Keith and Quint's data analysis: the existence of a third sister ship known as the Queen Dido below the ruins of Terragrigia, which was destroyed by Lansdale to eliminate incriminating evidence of his involvement. However, Lansdale proceeds to arrest O'Brian, cutting off communications.

Jill and Chris search for Jack Norman, the leader of Veltro, knowing that he holds evidence against Lansdale. However, he has gone delusional, survived a year by injecting himself with T-Abyss and resisting mutation through his own desire for vengeance. He then injects himself with an overdose of the virus, believing Chris and Jill to be FBC sent to kill him and transforms into a new type of Tyrant known as the "Final Form Abyss". After a long battle, he is finally killed, expressing his relief that he could finally be at peace.

Chris and Jill then broadcast the video via Norman's PDA, exposing Lansdale. O'Brian is immediately released and arrests Lansdale. The truth behind Terragrigia goes public, and the FBC is dissolved. Parker, who was saved by Raymond from the explosion, was found adrift off the shore of Malta and, after a month of recovery, resumed his position as a Special Operations Agent for the BSAA. O'Brian decides to take responsibility for his actions in orchestrating the entire mission and steps down as director of the BSAA. Quint and Keith are revealed to have survived the air raid.

The game then shows Chris and Jill walking up to the Spencer estate from the "Lost in Nightmares" episode of Resident Evil 5. In a post-credits scene, Raymond approaches Jessica at a cafe and gives her a sample of T-Abyss Virus. She asks him why he saved Parker, and he replies that he "had his reasons" while removing his sunglasses.
