Resident Evil has seen a lot of Chris Redfields over the years. We begin with the blocky, bulky RE1 Chris of "Wesker, you're pitiful!" fame. In the horror game, Kraslavsky returns to our PCs in the RE homage Daymare 1994.
The square jaw, the steely stare, the beautiful dubbing of "No! Don't go!" Kraslavsky is literally the first person we ever see in the whole Resident Evil series, thanks to that wonderful pre-main menu scene where he's attacked in one of the mansion corridors.
Emerging back into the gaming scene over the past few years, where he's taken part in regular interviews about the first RE, and also participated in livestreams and s with the original actors behind Albert Wesker and Barry Burton, Kraslavsky is now set to star in his first videogame since Resident Evil.
Daymare 1994 is the prequel to Daymare 1998, the third-person survival horror which – funnily enough – began life as a fan-made remake of Resident Evil 2 (strange how things come full circle). Kraslavsky confirms he's doing voice work for the horror game, which launches Tuesday, August 29.
I am excited to announce, that for the first time in 27 years, I am appearing in a video game! A huge thank you to Michele Giannone and the team at Invader Studios, who gave me a cameo in their release of Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle!!I love you guys❤️ pic.twitter.com/c09uVZrtHV

Kraslavsky is also set to star in the fan-made film 'The Keeper's Diary.' the famous "itchy, tasty" memo that you find on the first floor of the mansion? This is the story of the author, how they got infected, and their slow transformation into a zombie. Elsewhere, the Resident Evil community pays loving homage to the RE4 attaché case, with a new sequel to the inventory management game Save Room.
