What do you think of the new trailer for Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness?

White House turning Red

Recommended Videos

Capcom has released a brand new trailer for the upcoming CGI series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, which will be streaming exclusively on Netflix in J🌠uly.

The short but atmospheric preview reunites two of Resident Evil‘s most beloved protagonists, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, as the zombie-fighting duo coincidentally encounters one another in, of all places, the White House. Of course, as if destined by fate, it isn’t long before things get a bit on the sticky side, as the intrepid duo find themselves amidst an army of undead horrors that are suddenly swarming into Pennsylvania Avenue.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will tell a brand new, original story within the survival horror series’ universe. While the new series CGI styling recalls that of 2008’s Resident Evil: Degeneration, technology has come on in leaps and bounds since those halcyon days, and as such Infinite Darkness hopes to capture the terror, tension, and gore of Capcom’s franchise while bringing a fresh (rotten?) storyline to the Resident Evil canon.

I’m amused by the way that both characters look more distinctly matured from their Resident Evil 2 days, yet Kennedy still has the thick, luscious locks of a 20-year-old, with not a strand of grey in sight. I’m always down for Leon/Claire team-ups, so here’s hoping that the new series will deliver.
