Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness artwork and details released, RE2 Remake voice actors for Leon and Claire return

 

March is a big month for Resident Evil/ Biohazard fans, as 2021 marks the 25th anniversary of the franchise with the release of the original game in Japan and North America back in 1996. As celebrations are definitely being prepared by fans worldwide, Capcom and Netflix have some new treats in store by releasing some new artwork and screenshots for "Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness" - the new CG anime series that sees the return of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield in an adventure that takes place a few years after Resident Evil 4.

Returning to voice Leon and Claire from their work on 2019's Resident Evil 2 Remake will be Nick Apostolides and  Stephanie Panisello! 

Thanks to Bloody-Disgusting, an official synopsis for the series was also released.

“In 2006, there were traces of improper access to secret Presidential files found in the White House’s network. American federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is among the group invited to the White House to investigate this incident, but when the lights suddenly go out, Leon and the SWAT team are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies. 

“Meanwhile, TerraSave staff member Claire Redfield encounters a mysterious image drawn by a youth in a country she visited, while providing support to refugees. Haunted by this drawing, which appears to be of a victim of viral infection, Claire starts her own investigation. 

“The next morning, Claire visits the White House to request the construction of a welfare facility. There, she has a chance reunion with Leon and uses the opportunity to show him the boy’s drawing. Leon seems to realize some sort of connection between the zombie outbreak at the White House and the strange drawing, but he tells Claire that there is no relation and leaves. In time, these two zombie outbreaks in distant countries lead to events that shake the nation to its very core.”

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will be released on Netflix some time this 2021!

Resident Evil 2: "1-Shot" Demo arrives tomorrow for PS4, Xbox One, and PC!

After a long time requesting for a "demo" of the game, Resident Evil fans are finally going to get just that at the comforts of their own console and home as Capcom has officially announced that their upcoming "Resident Evil 2" remake is getting a "1-Shot Demo" this week. In other words, players will FINALLY get their chance to try out this brand new reimagining of the 1998 sequel powered by the RE Engine before the full game comes out the end of the month... And this demo sees release for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC Steam this January 11th!

There is a catch however for those playing this demo - you only have 30 MINUTES to play through it and guide Leon S. Kennedy through the horrors of the Raccoon City outbreak and beyond. That means that the clock is ticking and you won't have any time to explore and kill every enemy on sight. The demo becomes unplayable after your thirty minutes are up, and while that may be a bit disappointing to know - there will be a special new trailer that will play right after you're done with things at least. If you plan to download and try, be sure to between January 11 to 31!

Resident Evil 2 arrives for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on January 25th!

E3 2018: Capcom reveals the first teaser and announcement trailers for "Resident Evil 2 Remake"!

At long last, one of the most requested video game sequels ever made is FINALLY getting the remastered remake it deserves next year! After announcing three years ago that they would be doing it and making the game following the success of the "Resident Evil Remake" and "Resident Evil Zero" rereleased ports for last and current generation systems, Capcom has officially revealed the first teaser and announcement footage for "Resident Evil 2 Remake" at Sony's E3 Playstation showcase for E3 2018 - remaking the 1998 classic for a new generation of gamers and revisiting the Survival Horror tale of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they encounter zombies and other biological weapon horrors while trying to escape the city of the dead!

Shown at Sony's E3 2018 Showcase with a cleverly made teaser trailer revealing the first cinematic footage of the remake (and an original Playstation easter egg), we revisit highlights of the "Raccoon City Incident" - which sees Leon and Claire seeking sanctuary in the Raccoon Police Department yet finding horrific nightmares and monstrosities to deal with instead.

While the game isn't coming anytime soon this year, it's great that Capcom FINALLY announced the remake - coinciding with the original RE2's 20th anniversary this year! It's also great to see Leon, Claire, Sherry, and the gang back sporting some updated outfits (and Leon's iconic R.P.D. uniform returns), though it's a safe bet Capcom will be releasing more info in the coming months ahead as the game is set for an early 2019 release.
