After Resident Evil Village, we will soon have some new Resident Evil content to consume. But it won't be a new video game, but rather a new CGI animated series from Netflix. Titled Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, it follows Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield in their new, zombie-fending adventures following the events of Resident Evil 4. Netflix released a new trailer for the upcoming show in which the premiere date was also revealed:
Below is a plot summary, courtesy of Engadget:
Six years ago (2000), the helicopter belonging to the U.S. special forces who were intervening in the Penamstan civil war fell from the sky. The U.S. Army Mad Dogs, who were in the same battleground, refused orders from the command center to stand their ground and instead went to save survivors of the crash. However, the special forces were already annihilated. The Mad Dogs, led by their captain Jason, were also forced to escape in order to survive. However, in that place, Jason and his unit saw the supposedly dead special forces moving in strange ways...
In the present (2006), a hacking incident occurs on a top secret White House file. Four agents, including Leon S. Kennedy and Jason, the “Hero of Penamstan,” are invited to the White House to investigate this incident. However, when the lights suddenly go out, they are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies alongside the SWAT team. Afterward, the top secret file is found to be related to a biology laboratory in Shanghai, which Leon and the other three agents decide to investigate for clues. As they head to Shanghai in a cutting-edge submarine, a swarm of rat-like Bio Organic Weapons (B.O.W.) suddenly attacks, pushing them into a life-or-death situation.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness airs this July 8th on Netflix.
