With a live-action Resident Evil series currently in the works at Netflix, the streaming service has surprised everyone this week by announcing a brand new, original CG-animated series based around the beloved survival horror franchise!
Titled "Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness," the series is scheduled for a global launch in 2021, exclusively on Netflix.
This will be a horror-action series based around the stories of the two popular characters, Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield.
"By adding suspense into dynamic action scenes, this series will reveal a Resident Evil world unlike anything seen before."
Teaser art and a teaser trailer have also been revealed with the title announcement. In the teaser art, we see Leon and Claire against the backdrop of a blood-splattered wall, silently waiting to take on a new threat after cheating death time and time again.
Revealed simultaneously, the teaser trailer depicts scenes of courage as Claire enters an abandoned building enveloped by the dark night as she happens to find "something" while Leon saves "someone" in the darkness. You can see every tiny speck of floating dust and the tension of the characters’ expressions in these ultra-realistic, high-quality visuals which ramp up the intensity from the very start.
"Plug in a pair of headphones to double the terror in this teaser that will surely stir up expectations for this series," Netflix adds.
"Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness" will be produced and supervised by Capcom's Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who is responsible for bringing numerous titles in the Resident Evil series into existence. TMS Entertainment, which has birthed various anime series, will produce the series, while Quebico, led by Kei Miyamoto, the producer of Resident Evil: Vendetta, will be in charge of the full 3DCG animation production.
