During today’s Capcom Showcase, a new trailer for the upcoming film Resident Evil Death Island was released, and it also confirmed a Summer 2023 release window and the return of a familiar face.
Resident Evil Death Island is set after the events of Resident Evil 6 and before Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Franchise stalwarts Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield are featured, while today’s new trailer also revealed Jill Valentine–sporting her Resident Evil 3 Remake look–will be a part of the story.
The movie follows two separate stories: One where Leon is attempting to rescue a doctor from kidnappers, and another following Chris as he looks into a zombie outbreak in California that leads him to Alcatraz Island. The trailer gives us a glimpse of a few monsters, which include a cage full of swimming bioweapons being released into the sea as well as a woman who pursues Leon during his rescue mission.
