Netflix Shares New Trailer and Official Release Date of 'Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness'

Netflix has unveiled a brand new trailer and the official release date of its upcoming CG anime series, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness.

The two-and-a-half-minute visual hints at the upcoming events that Leon (voiced by Nick Apostolides) and Claire (voiced by Stephanie Panisello) will be facing, teasing fans with battlefield scenes, zombie attacks and a mysterious Tyrant:

“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.

Meanwhile, while staying in Penamstan to provide support for refugees, Terra Save staff member Claire Redfield encounters a strange image drawn by a nonverbal boy. Haunted by this drawing, which appears to depict a victim of viral infection, Claire starts her own investigation. She eventually finds a terrifying experiment that was conducted during the Penamstan civil war. Leon and Claire draw closer to an unimaginable truth that all began in Penamstan. They also discover that a terror that can shatter peace is slowly approaching…”

Joining Apostolides and Panisello in the voice cast are Ray Chase of Final Fantasy XV fame, Jona Xiao, Billy Kametz, Joe J. Thomas, Doug Stone and Brad Venable. Eiichiro Hasumi will direct the series while Hiroyuki Kobayashi of Capcom will serve as executive producer, Hiroyasu Shinohara of TMS Entertainment and Atsushi Furuya of ROBOT as producers and Kei Miyamoto of Quebico as CG producer.
