Netflix releases trailer for CG animated series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness

Resident Evil fans are currently having fun “avoiding” being killed by Lady Dimitrescu in Village, the eighth game in the series and the second entry in a soft reboot that has mostly dropped any connections to the old games (other than the repeated appearance of Chris Redfield, who has become a dick in the decades since getting locked in that mansion outside Raccoon City), but Netflix is surprisingly going way back in the timeline for CG animated series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. Set in 2006, the show stars Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield shortly after the Leon-centric events of Resident Evil 4 but before zombies destroy the White House in Resident Evil 6 (and maybe before the stupid and racist events of Resident Evil 5, meaning series villain Albert Wesker might still be alive), telling a story about—what else?—the two of them facing off against a horde of terrifying “bio-weapons.” That’s the RE word for monsters created by evil pharmaceutical companies, like zombies or zombie sharks or whatever the hell a Licker was supposed to be.
