Of course, RE fans that want to go to the extreme and get this game with a special package can avail of a brand new and stunninh collector's edition - which features a statue of Leon S.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkess CG animated series bound for Netflix on 2021

 

Seemingly coming out of nowhere or probably being announced unexpectedly, a brand new Resident Evil CG animated series (initially thought to be a movie) has been revealed and is coming to Netflix next year -- and it's called "Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness" (aka "Biohazard: Infinite Darkness" in Japan")

(UPDATE 10:10PM) Initially posted by Netflix Portugal on Twitter ahead of schedule, the film was officially announced at Capcom's "Capcom TGS Live 2020" panel, with Hiroyuki Kobayashi making the announcement and returning as the film's producer. The teaser features the return and reunion of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, and will be the third time these Resident Evil 2 heroes reunite and will be the second CG animated RE film they'll headline after 2009's "Resident Evil: Degeneration". 

While no story details have been revealed, it looks like both will be caught up in another mystery involving abandoned houses, biological conspiracies, mysterious individuals, and of course zombies.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will be hitting Netflix sometime in 2021.

Paul Haddad, voice of Leon S. Kennedy in the original Resident Evil 2, reportedly passes away at 56

Gamers and OG Resident Evil fans have had to bear a sad day, as reports from multiple sources have come in that Paul Haddad, the voice of Leon s. Kennedy in the original Resident Evil 2, has passed away at the age of 56. According to a report by Biohazard Declassified, the British-born Canadian actor was said to have previously battled throat cancer and a neurological disorder, and had set up a GoFundMe to help in his expenses. Unfortunately, Haddad was reported to have passed away on April 11th.

Aside from playing Leon, Paul also lent his voice to several shows - including the X-Men: Animated Series of the 1990's as Quicksilver. Coincidentally, Alyson Court - who played Claire Redfield in the original RE2, voiced Jubilee in that show as well.

Made this tribute to the man who brought to life one of the most iconic Survival Horror characters ever made. Rest in Peace, Paul. Thank you for taking on Umbrella.

“Resident Evil 4” was released this week 15 years ago

It’s the game that changed a generation and redefined one of Capcom’s most popular video game franchises for better or for worse, but on this weekend 15 years ago - Resident Evil 4, or Biohazard 4 as it is known in its native Japan, was released first on the Nintendo GameCube - bringing back Resident Evil 2 protagonist Leon S. Kennedy as a special ops government agent and deployed on a mission to save the US President’s daughter Ashley Graham from a group of cultists known as the “Los Illuminados”.


Resident Evil 4 Demo Gameplay (Nintendo GameCube)
Initially made as an exclusive to the system, Capcom eventually made RE4 for other systems - first porting it to the PlayStation 2 the following year and then having subsequent re-releases on other platforms and next generations consoles thereafter. The game became one of the best-selling video games of its generation, and changed the RE franchise from “Survival Horror” to “Survival Action” - focusing more on the “Run and Gun” part and making Leon shoot “over the shoulder” and putting an emphasis on “Quick Time Events” during gameplay and cutscenes.

So let’s raise a toast this game - one of the best and definitely a game Capcom will always find a way to release again - even today on the Nintendo Switch! It’s third person gameplay influenced several shooters, and even the Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes owe a lot to the path started by this game! Happy Anniversary, Resident Evil 4!

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!

Resident Evil 2 - Story Trailer | PS4
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!

Resident Evil: Revelations 2: Claire Redfield returns, along with Barry Burton's daughter, Moira

The cat has been let out of the bag, and what was rumored and speculated for a long time that a familiar protagonist would return has finally been confirmed - Claire Redfield, the sister of Chris Redfield and Leon S Kennedy's partner and fellow survivor from the Raccoon City incident, will be the main protagonist for the recently announced Resident Evil: Revelations 2!

Also, Ms. Redfield won't be alone, as she'll be joined by Moira Burton... The daughter of legendary S.T.A.R.S member and Chris and Jill Valentine's friend, Barry Burton! The news comes from an article in Push-Start.co.uk, where the November issue of Games Master has published details about the upcoming game, including the fact that the game is set inbetween RE5 and RE6, and in an island where Claire and Moira will have to face new enemies like the "Afflicted" - who are similar to zombies but very different as well. The survival horror aspect also returns, and the game will be set on an island facility similar to RE: Code: Veronica. For more information, visit the source post at Push-Start.

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 comes out on Early 2015 for current and next-gen consoles, as well as PC.

All things RE in 2012 with Resident Evil 6 and Re5ident Evil: Retribution!

It seems Capcom is having a big 2012 with all things Resident Evil (also known as Bio Hazard in Japan). Not only do we get a trailer for the next movie starring Milla Jovovich as Alice, but also one for a NEW GAME slated for release at the end of this year, and it stars none other than the main male leads of the series, Chris Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy! Thanks goes to Kotaku and Comic Book Movie for the news!

First Look at Leon S. Kennedy on the set of Resident Evil: Retribution

Via her official Twitter account and through posts in Shock Til You Drop and Comic Book Resources, Milla Jovovich has updated fans with a video what's going on in the set of her next Resident Evil movie, Resident Evil: Retribution. Once again directed by her hubby director Paul W.S. Anderson, the film picks up where the last one left off, with Milla's character Alice and her friends trying to finish off the Umbrella Corporation and its biological experiments once and for all, gaining new friends and allies who are familiar faces to those who've played the games (like yours truly). In fact, Shock Til You Drop has the video from Ms. Jovovich up which brings a close look at Retribution from Behind The Scenes, giving us our first look at Boris Kodjoe returning as Luther from Afterlife and the movie version of one Leon S. Kennedy, star of Resident Evil 2 and RE 4 who is going to be played by Johann Urb (also known as Sasha from Rolan Emmerich's 2012).


Resident Evil Retribution: Behind The Scenes and first look at Leon S. Kennedy

According to the Wikipedia profile of Retribution, Leon from Retribution is described as "the leader of the Resistance, who teams with Alice as she battles the Umbrella Corporation and the swarm of undead.". A far cry and distant version from the Leon I know and idolize from Capcom's Biohazard/ Resident Evil games, and the only similarities I see are the brown jacket and the name (which don't look like Leon's to begin with). Like I said of the past Anderson RE movies and as a big fan of the gaming franchise alone, this is totally different and I'm taking this as a separate entity unrelated to the source material. Clearly this isn't the Leon we all know from Resident Evil 4, so all I'm hoping is it delivers some worthy popcorn action at least. For more info, visit the source post at Milla's Twitter or the posts at Shock Til You Drop and CBM.

Resident Evil: Retribution delivers more zombie apocalypse action on September 12, 2012.

Paul W.S. Anderson confirms Resident Evil: Retribution

Love or hate it, the Resident Evil (aka Bio Hazard in Japan) movie franchise earned big bucks with its last entry, "Resident: Evil Afterlife". As a longtime fan of the series, the films by Paul W.S. Anderson have absolutely nothing to do with the games, save for porting characters, monsters, and the Umbrella Corporation elements and using them for his own interpretation of the concept. As I noted in my review of the last film, my initial disappointment in the franchise soon turned to respect for the continuity he has built up for the series. Now, the director is set to return with a fifth installment, which his wife and the main star of the movies, Milla Jovovich, called "Resident Evil: Retribution", and it's been confirmed by Anderson himself that is definitely the film's title.

As posted in Bloody Disgusting and Cinema Blend, Paul W.S. Anderson is slated to direct and work on RE: Retribution for a September 14, 2012 release. It will see Jovovich back in the role of Alice, as she works her way from Toronto to Tokyo to battle and put an end to the Umbrella Corporation once and for all. Also expected to return is actress Sienna Guillory, who played the live action version of the well known Resident Evil/ Bio Hazard heroine Jill Valentine. Guillory was last seen in a cameo appearance in Afterlife as Jill with a mind controlling device in her chest, mimicking her position and fate in the events of the video game Resident Evil 5. For additional details and info on the story, visit the source post at Bloody Disgusting and Cinema Blend!

UPDATE: It seems that they're bringing out the rest of the other "RE Character veterans" into this, as Bloody Disgusting also mentioned in their article that Retribution is looking to cast actors for the roles of "Barry Burton" and "Leon Scott Kennedy", two VERY WELL KNOWN figures in the RE Game mythos (especially the latter, who is the main hero in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4). Also, the role of Jill MAY be recast, but we won't know til future updates arrive.

Resident Evil: Retribution opens in conventional and 3D theaters on September 14, 2012!
