The first trailer for Netflix's Resident Evil series, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, has been released. The CGI show based on the horror game franchise will include – you guessed it – a gloomy mansion, led by – wouldn't you know it – Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield.
The minute-long teaser arrived as part of a on Resident Evil Village at the Tokyo Game Show. Netflix Portugal had leaked the minute-long teaser to Twitter hours before, which immediately elated fans of the zombie games. The footage starts with Claire Redfield investigating a dreary cabin, where she discovers some used vials of what's presumably the T-virus, or derivative thereof, and then we cut as she finds a lifeless body sitting in a chair with a shotgun.
The next scene is what looks like Chris Redfield having trouble with a zombie somewhere far more decadent, only to be saved by Leon Kennedy. In August, Netflix announced it was producing an survival games, alongside the run of live-action movies. Although generally more accurate aesthetically, the animated works tend to be just as ridiculous as the Milla Jovovich-led counterparts, reveling in the power of animation make weird, wild action.
The release date is set for sometime in 2021.
