One of the biggest questions that fans likely had when Capcom announced that it was creatingResident Evil: Infinite Darknesswas how it would be connected to the wholeResident Eviluniverse. Now, with a newly released trailer from Netflix, the animated adaptation of the company’s long-standing horror video game series gave fans a hint on the main setting of the web-based series, confirming that it will be starting off after the conclusion of theevents inResident Evil 4.
Since its announcement in January 2021, no intricate details have been shared aboutResident Evil: Infinite Darkness. Aside from the fact that the mainvoice actors of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfieldfrom theRE2 Remakewill return to reprise their roles, the whole narrative of the animated series has mainly been kept under wraps. Now, fans will likely be much more interested in the CGI series, given that Capcom has revealed more about the story than it has in the past few months.

Released during the mostrecentResident Evilonline showcase, the trailer picks up on what happened to Leon Kennedy after the events ofResident Evil 4. In the trailer, it looks like time has passed several years and Leon is seen working as an agent for the White House. During one of his trips back to the building, he encounters Claire Redfield, another Raccoon City survivor. While Claire shows him a mysterious drawing that strangely reminded them both of their experiences in the forsaken city, the White House suddenly comes under siege from a surprise zombie attack. During the whole fiasco, hardcore fans will likely have spotted a returning character fromResident Evil 4, Ashley Graham’s father, who seems to have remained in office as the President.
Though nothing beyond the happenings in the White House is shown in the trailer,Resident Evilfans are likely more curious about how the entire story will pan out. Now that they know where and when to placeResident Evil: Infinite Darknessin the whole timeline, a lot of speculation on whether or not previous characters such as Ashley Graham herself will appear in the animated series.
Fans will only have to hold out until July beforeResident Evil: Infinite Darknessis made available online through Netflix. Hopefully all mystery surrounding the series will be uncovered then. In the meantime, withResident Evil Villagelaunching soon, players can keep themselves busy and satiate their cravings for zombies from theResident Eviluniverse.
