Another Resident Evil movie has been announced, one that’s bringing a fan-favorite character into the fold.
On Tuesday, Capcom revealed Resident Evil: Death Island, a brand-new CD film and a direct sequel to 2017’s Resident Evil: Vendetta (thanks, IGN).
“D.S.O. agent Leon S. Kennedy is on a mission to rescue Dr. Antonio Taylor from kidnappers when a mysterious woman thwarts his pursuit,” reads the plot synopsis.
“Meanwhile, B.S.A.A. agent Chris Redfield is investigating a zombie outbreak in San Francisco, where the cause of the infection cannot be identified,” it continues. “The only thing the victims have in common is that they all visited Alcatraz Island recently. Following that clue, Chris and his team head to the island, where a new horror awaits them.”
Check out Resident Evil: Death Island‘s teaser trailer below.
Diehard fans of Resident Evil will immediately notice Jill Valentine near the end – one of the franchise’s most popular characters that’s appeared in multiple Resident Evil games. Her role within the film is still a mystery, though.
There’s no firm release date for Resident Evil: Death Island yet, though Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will distribute the film sometime in 2023. Seemingly before the Resident Evil 4 remake, which is out in March.
