After escaping Raccoon City, Rebecca became a university professor, creating medicines for viruses. She is also an advisor to the United Nations' Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (B.S.A.A.), which was founded by her former S.T.A.R.S. colleagues, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. Rebecca also appears in several Resident Evil games, novelizations, CG animated films and other game franchises, including Dead by Daylight. Several actresses have portrayed Rebecca, including American actress Erin Cahill in the animated sequels, Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017) and Resident Evil: Death Island (2023). Rebecca has received mostly positive reviews from video game publications, with some critics praising her for being a formidable female character who does not conform to stereotypical gender norms.
