The Resident Evil franchise is spreading like the zombie plague at the heart of its story. Resident Evil: Village is currently scaring the bejesus out of gamers around the world, and the movie reboot, Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City will be shuffling towards cinemas at the end of the year.
Before that there’s a small screen original anime series heading our way thanks to Netflix, and they’ve unveiled a brand new trailer for the July 8th release Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, which you can check out here…
In 2006, there were traces of improper access to secret Presidential files found in the White House’s network. American federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is among the group invited to the White House to investigate this incident, but when the lights suddenly go out, Leon and the SWAT team are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies. Meanwhile, TerraSave staff member Claire Redfield encounters a mysterious image drawn by a youth in a country she visited, while providing support to refugees. Haunted by this drawing, which appears to be of a victim of viral infection, Claire starts her own investigation. The next morning, Claire visits the White House to request the construction of a welfare facility. There, she has a chance reunion with Leon and uses the opportunity to show him the boy’s drawing. Leon seems to realize some sort of connection between the zombie outbreak at the White House and the strange drawing, but he tells Claire that there is no relation and leaves. In time, these two zombie outbreaks in distant countries lead to events that shake the nation to its very core.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is available to stream on Netflix from July 8th.
