Resident Evil fans have been dealing with no-shows in regards to Resident Evil 9 with the big gaming events this year, despite the plethora of rumours circulating around. The latest crop comes courtesy of Andy at Biohazard Declassified (with JJ from Residence of Evil doing the reporting in the video below), who says that the latest batch of leaks was relayed by a playtester who claims to have played an early build of the game sometime in April and September in Japan.

Obviously, with stuff like this, it pays to keep your grain of salt handy. None of this has been officially confirmed (obviously) by Capcom or anyone on the Resident Evil 9 team. Plus, these rumours do venture into spoiler territory. So, here we go.

According to Andy, Resident Evil 9 will take place 4 years after the main game of Resident Evil Village, and not the Shadows of Rose Dlc. The story...

The Resident Evil franchise has expanded to include nearly 30 games, live-action films, TV series, novels, and animated movies, with the main conflict revolving around the Umbrella Corporation and the fictional Raccoon City infected with zombie viruses. The animated films based on Resident Evil have a varying degree of integration with the games' basic plot and cast, with the later films being more aligned and typically taking place in between the games. However, the release order of the animated films does not align with the timeline and shouldn't necessarily be watched in order of release date. For example, the first animated film to watch is Biohazard 4D-Executer, which takes place in 1998 during the Raccoon City outbreak. and the third film to watch is Resident Evil: Degeneration, the first feature-length animated movie set in the Resident Evil world and featuring the characters and storylines of the games.

With a franchise as far-reaching as Resident Evil,...

Everyone knows October is the month of horror. Whether it's movie marathons, extravagant decorations, or even All Hallow's Eve itself, television and film alike turn to chills and thrills until the advent of November. Thankfully, in the world of streaming, you still have plenty of options available if you find yourself burnt out on ghouls and ghosts. Tubi, in particular, is a great service for avoiding the norm, as they've made a name for themselves by hosting hundreds of unique and otherwise unconventional titles in their content library.

If you're a martial arts fan, you still have some exciting films to look forward to during October. If you're curious about the various martial arts movies coming to Tubi, we've assembled some highlights from the service's pending offerings. All movies will be available to watch as early as October 1 unless stated otherwise.

The Resident Evil franchise includes three animated movies and a miniseries, but not all of these installments are created equal. Even though the Resident Evil series includes some of the most successful horror video games ever, screen adaptations of the franchise have been a mixed bag. Director Paul Ws Anderson’s 2002 movie Resident Evil didn’t impress critics upon release, but the movie did scare up some serious returns at the box office. However, while that first Resident Evil managed to spawn a string of sequels, the live-action movies in the series were frequently criticized for their lack of fidelity to the source material.

While Anderson didn’t direct Resident Evil 2 or 3, he did remain a major creative force throughout the series. As such, the Resident Evil movie adaptations gradually gained a reputation as fun guilty pleasure action-horror movies that bore little relation to their supposed inspiration. Thus,...

Mercer is open to running a Resident Evil one-shot on Critical Role and is interested in exploring a small, unique place reminiscent of the original game's cramped mansion and subterranean laboratory. A Resident Evil one-shot would allow Mercer to delve into a different horror subgenre and explore character dynamics and close-quarters battles that TTRPGs excel at. While a one-shot is hypothetical, Mercer's deep knowledge of the franchise as both a player and voice actor, along with Critical Role's track record of bringing new and exciting stories to beloved worlds, would make Resident Evil a perfect addition to their impressive lineup.

Resident Evil: Death Island star Matt Mercer reveals what part of the world he would want to explore if given the opportunity to run a Resident Evil one-shot on Critical Role. Mercer is no stranger to Resident Evil. First a fan of the videogames, he joined the franchise as Leon S.

Features the voices of: Matthew Mercer, Nicole Tompkins, Kevin Dorman, Stephanie Panisello, Erin Cahill, Salli Saffioti, Daman Mills, Lucien Dodge, Frank Todaro, Stephanie Panisello, Cristina Valenzuela | Written by Makoto Fukami | Directed by Eiichiro Hasumi

The latest entry in the animated franchise, Resident Evil: Death Island comes two years after the last entry, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, and is set in 2015, just after the events of Resident Evil: Vendetta but before Resident Evil 7. Got that?

Somewhere in San Fransisco Dso Agent Leon S. Kennedy is trying to recover kidnapped scientist Dr. Antonio Taylor (Frank Todaro) when a mysterious woman appears and, after a high-speed chase, causes him to crash. Claire Redfield is also in town, trying to find out what kind of creature can use Orcas as a food source. And whether or not the creature is a bioweapon.

Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers are also looking for answers.

Audiences have a new Resident Evil movie to look forward to with Resident Evil: Death Island, an animated feature releasing in the summer of 2023. The computer-animated horror film includes characters from the same universe as the popular Resident Evil video games, and it is the fourth film and fifth project to be released as part of the animated Resident Evil movie franchise. Resident Evil: Death Island gets its name from the movie's setting, the prison on Alcatraz Island. In the film, Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield are on two separate missions that lead all the main characters to the island for a new horror-filled adventure.

Resident Evil: Death Island is directed by Eiichirō Hasumi and the screenplay was written by Makoto Fukami. Both Hasumi and Fukami have been involved with past Resident Evil projects. Hasumi directed Netflix's Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness animated series, which was released in 2021. Fukami...

A new live-action film based on the Resident Evil video game franchise is in the works (we’ve heard that it’s called Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and based on the game Resident Evil Zero), but while we wait to see how that’s going to turn out, we’re also going to have a new computer animated Resident Evil movie to watch. This one is called Resident Evil: Death Island, and it’s set to receive a Blu-ray, 4K steelbook, DVD, and digital release on July 25th! You can watch the trailer in the embed above.

Resident Evil: Death Island is the fourth animated Resident Evil feature, following Resident Evil: Degeneration, Resident Evil: Damnation, and Resident Evil: Vendetta. There was also an animated mini-series called Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness.

Directed by Eiichiro Hasumi from a screenplay by Makoto Fukami, Resident Evil: Death Island has the following synopsis: In San Francisco,...

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has released a new trailer for the animated movie Resident Evil: Death Island. Set in the Resident Evil video game universe, the film unites several fan favorites from different installments of the series: Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers. This time, a new T-Virus is unleashed in San Francisco, and this leads to the fan favorite zombie hunters winding up on Alcatraz Island. The film hits Digital and Blu-ray on July 25, and you can check out the new trailer below.

The official synopsis for Resident Evil: Death Island is as follows:

In San Francisco, Jill Valentine is dealing with a zombie outbreak and a new T-Virus, Leon Kennedy is on the trail of a kidnapped Darpa scientist, and Claire Redfield is investigating a monstrous fish that is killing whales in the bay. Joined by Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers, they discover...

Resident Evil 4 sees the return of the mysterious Ada Wong in both the original and remake versions as her mission has her come across Leon S. Kennedy again. Ada doesn't get as much screen time as characters like Leon, Luis, and Ashley, but the Dlc Separate Ways from the original RE4 gives a bit of insight into why she shows up in an area infected by Las Plagas. Ada's motivations tend to be unclear, but after the events of RE4, the question of whose side she's on begins to receive a clearer answer.

Ada Wong is kept in a mysterious role in Resident Evil 2 and RE4, leaving players uncertain if she's there to help them or make their tasks more difficult each time she appears. While it's difficult to know what a character like Ashley's future is after Resident Evil 4, quite a bit is known about Ada's...

The Resident Evil movies have never been critical darlings, and the outing that managed a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score is one of the most obscure. Talk of a Resident Evil movie emerged shortly after the record-breaking success of the first two games, but the resulting live-action adaptations deviated massively from the source material. While they brought over key characters, monsters and settings from Capcom's series, they all focused on the journey of Alice (Milla Jovovich), an original character created for the films. Jovovich's movies were hugely successful overseas, but they were all greeted with mixed to bad reviews.

While Rotten Tomatoes should never be considered the final word on a film's reception, the live-action Resident Evil movies have never nabbed a "Fresh" rating. The highest rated was 2017's Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, which closed out the Jovovich run and earned a 37% rating. While the second entry Apocalypse was the...

The Resident Evil: Death Island trailer finally unites three of the franchise's famous characters. Based on Capcom's hit survival-horror video game franchise, the CG animated film series currently spans three installments – Resident Evil: Degeneration, Resident Evil: Damnation, and Resident Evil: Vendetta. A fourth installment, Resident Evil: Death Island, is now on the way, which will unite some of the horror franchise's most famous characters for the first time.

Now, the Resident Evil: Death Island trailer has been unveiled (via IGN).

The 30-second trailer teases some of the animated movie's plot and shows Jill Valentine, Leon S. Kennedy, and Chris Redfield together for the first time. Watch the trailer above.

During the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom revealed that a new Resident Evil animated series is coming to Netflix in 2021.

Described as a CG anime horror series, the upcoming Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will follow Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they embark on a journey that will “reveal a Resident Evil world unlike anything seen before.” Sadly, Capcom isn’t revealing many of the finer points of the show’s plot at this time.

What we do know is that Infinite Darkness is being produced and supervised by Capcom’s Hiroyuki Kobayashi who has been involved with the Resident Evil series in some capacity since its inception. He’s also served as the producer of such animated adaptations as Resident Evil: Degeneration, Resident Evil: Damnation, and Resident Evil: Vendetta if you’re looking for a better idea of his style and the quality of the works he typically oversees.

Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield will reunite on Netflix for the upcoming CGI episodic series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, and a teaser trailer has been made available online. The series was also officially announced at Tokyo Games Show 2020 by executive producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi for the event's Capcom Tgs Live 2020 stream. Giving fans a good first look at the series, the teaser trailer shows both fan favorite characters as they'll appear on the show, and you can take a look at it for yourself below.

Netflix has not offered any details about the plot of Infinite Darkness, but as we can see in the trailer, Leon and Claire will return. The former is now wearing a suit, looking much more sharp than ever before, while the latter is sporting a red jacket similar to what she wore in Resident Evil 2. There seems to be evidence of yet another outbreak uncovered...

Another new Resident Evil movie is coming out, but this one doesn't star Milla Jovovich. Yes, 2017 will see the release of another live-action Resident Evil movie but there is also a new CG movie set in that universe called Resident Evil: Vendetta. Now the first trailer has landed online.

The first, Resident Evil: Degeneration came out in 2008, followed by Resident Evil: Damnation in 2012.

Check out the first trailer for the all CG Resident Evil Vendetta film by Capcom.

Capcom released the trailer, er teaser, above today to show off the new CG film Resident Evil: Vendetta. The movie will release "next spring" in Japan, with no word on international dates of release.

Characters Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers are the main characters of the film as they explore a story set after the events of Resident Evil 6, but before the upcoming Resident Evil 7. This movie works as a bridge between the two games.

Resident Evil: Degeneration and Resident Evil: Damnation were previous all CG films released under the series, and they bother were rather good. I'd highly suggest checking them out if you are a fan of the series.

A brand-new CG-animated movie based on Resident Evil is coming.

The forthcoming film's working title is Resident Evil CG 3 and will be the third animated adaptation of Capcom's long-running horror series - following suit of Biohazard 4D-Executer and Resident Evil: Damnation.

The movie will be written by Psycho-Pass's Makoto Fukami and directed by Hard Revenge Milly's Takanori Tsujimoto.

In addition, The Grudge director Takashi Shimizu is attached as an executive producer - allowing him to oversee the production.

Resident Evil game producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi is on board as well as an executive supervisor for the project.

Resident Evil CG 3 is slated for a 2017 worldwide release.

Meanwhile, Capcom's Resident Evil division is reportedly focusing on virtual reality and working on a new engine designed for the tech.

Robin Sachs, best known for his role in the long-running TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer, has died at age 61. He passed away on February 1st, four days before his 62nd birthday, according to his website which announced his death on Tuesday. “This is a post we never thought we would have to write,” the post reads. “It is with great sadness that we have to announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Robin Sachs.” Born in London, Sachs’ first role was with the British Hammer film studio in the movie Vampire Circus. His other feature work includes The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Oceans Eleven, North Fork and Ravager. Sachs appeared in numerous TV series over the years, but his most memorable role was as Ethan Rayne, arch rival to Giles, Buffy’s mentor in Buffy The Vampire Slayer starring Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Coming courtesy of Comic Vine here’s a handful of new images from Marvel and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s upcoming anime movie Iron Man: Rise Of Technovore, which arrives on Blu-Ray and DVD in the Us on April 16th and stars Matthew Mercer (Resident Evil: Damnation) as Tony Stark/Iron Man and Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead) as Frank Castle/The Punisher. Iron Man: Rise of Technovore is directed by Hiroshi Hamasaki and explores a confrontation between Iron Man and the villainous Ezekiel Stane, who develops new bio-technology that seemingly outclasses the Iron Man armor. After Stane unleashes a terrorist attack and sets Tony up to take the fall, Iron Man must evade S.H.I.E.L.D.’s man hunt and find a way to clear his name.

Billionaire Tony Stark, in his Iron Man armor, prevents an attack from a mysterious new foe, but innocent bystanders are killed,...

Chris Pratt, Andy on the brilliant NBC comedy series Parks and Recreation, has landed the role of Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Quill was born of a human mother and alien father, and is a master strategist and combat expert who wears an ability-enhancing suit and pilots a psychically-linked ship. While many actors were rumored for the role, in the end, it appears, it went to an actor that appeared on no one’s list. Pratt has comedic talents, which shine on Parks&Rec, but he can be dramatic as well, with his appearances in the Oscar nominated films Zero Dark Thirty and Moneyball prove. However, the casting of Pratt –on the heels of rumors that Marvel was looking to comedic actors as Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler- does seem to indicate that director James Gunn plans on adding more humor to the film.

A bit of sad news has come in regarding the passing of an actor who's very familiar to fans of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" along with gamers. On his 62nd birthday, word has come that Robin Sachs has died unexpectedly.

According to Sachs' official fansite:

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Robin Sachs. Please join us in raising a glass to Robin – goodbye, dear friend. Thank you for all the laughter and the cookies. We will miss you so very much.

Sachs is best known for portraying Giles' old friend Ethan Rayne in "Buffy." He also appeared in such films as Vampire Circus, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Megalodon, and the animated Resident Evil: Damnation and voiced roles in numerous video games such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds, Mass Effect 2/3, and Resident Evil: Outbreak - File...

Announced last year, Marvel Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment have confirmed full details for the upcoming anime movie Iron Man: Rise Of Technovore. Arriving on Blu-Ray and DVD April 16th, the film stars Matthew Mercer (Resident Evil: Damnation) as Tony Stark/Iron Man and Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead) as Frank Castle/The Punisher. The other cast members in the flick have yet to be announced. Both the Blu-Ray and DVD contain two behind-the scenes featurettes, "Tale Of Technovore" (which explores the animation, story and adaptation of Marvel characters) and "S.H.I.E.L.D.: Protecting The Marvel Universe" 9which delivers an all-access look and brief history into the organization as portrayed in the comics and adapted in the film). An interactive art gallery featuring conceptual art produced by Madhouse will be released exclusively on the Blu-Ray release. Below is the official synopsis, cover art and trailer...

The Resident Evil brand makes money, as well as nightmare inducing creatures. The franchise has become a multimedia juggernaut with six major games in the series, five films, a few comics and now a second direct to DVD CGI film in the form of “Resident Evil: Damnation.” Whereas the live action films tell an alternate story of sorts where the Umbrella Corporation basically lost control and the T-Virus that caused the fabled Raccoon City Outbreak ended up spreading across the world, the CGI films follow the game canon. “Damnation” is a direct sequel to “Resident Evil: Degeneration” which saw Re icons Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield teamed up again. That story took place directly after RE4 and actually set up for RE5. “Damnation” picks up a few years later and takes place after RE5 but before RE6. Whew!! Okay now on to the film. “Degeneration” felt more like part of...

We have an exclusive featurette and clip from Resident Evil: Damnation, the animated sequel to Resident Evil: Degeneration that is currently available on Blu-ray and DVD. The behind-the-scenes featurette examines The Licker creature that Matthew Mercer's Leon Kennedy must face in this new adventure. We also have a clip where Leon realizes he must disobey a direct order if he wants to get the truth.

Resident Evil - Exclusive The Licker

Resident Evil - Exclusive Evacuate

United States Special agent Leon S. Kennedy sneaks into a small Eastern Europe country to verify rumors that Bio Organic Weapons (B.O.W.s) are being used in war. Right after his infiltration, the Us government orders him to leave immediately. Determined to uncover the truth, Leon ignores the order and enters the battlefield to end the chain of tragedies caused by the B.O.W.s.

Voice actress Courtenay Talor talks about playing Ada Wong in Resident Evil: Damnation, currently available on Blu-ray and DVD

Courtenay Taylor has made a name for herself both in voice over work for animated projects and video games, and stepping in front of the camera for live action roles. The actress reprises her role as Ada Wong from video games Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City and the upcoming Resident Evil 6 in the Sony Pictures Home Entertainment animated sequel Resident Evil: Damnation, currently available on Blu-ray and DVD. I recently had the chance to speak with the actress over the phone about taking on this beloved role. Here's what she had to say.

You have a bit of history with Ada and the new games. Is there anything different you wanted to bring to Ada this time around, in this animated film?

Courtenay Taylor: It was funny because it all sort of happened simultaneously.

Actor Matthew Mercer talks about voicing the iconic Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil: Damnation, available on Blu-ray and DVD right now

If most people heard or read the name Leon Kennedy, it probably wouldn't trigger any type of response. However, if you mention the name near a die-hard fan of the Resident Evil video game franchise, that would likely not be the case. The Resident Evil live action franchise is still going strong with Resident Evil: Retribution currently in theaters, but Re fans are also in for a treat with the release of the animated Resident Evil: Damnation, the follow-up to 2008's Resident Evil: Degeneration. I recently had the chance to speak with Matthew Mercer, who voices Leon Kennedy not only in this new movie, but also in the upcoming Resident Evil 6 video game that arrives October 2. Take a look at what he had to say about this new movie,...

Last week, Joss Whedon returned to our screens with the DVD and Blu-ray release of The Cabin in the Woods, with which Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) made his directorial debut to brilliant critical acclaim, with a script he co-wrote with Whedon.

This week, Whedon returns once more to our home entertainment systems with the release of The Avengers, the year’s biggest film to date, and the third-highest-grossing film of all time. It’s been one we’ve been looking forward to ever since its release, and now it has arrived for us to bask in its awesomeness once more.

My picks of the week:

Joss Whedon’s The Avengers & Jay Oliva’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns – Part 1.

And Bond 50 – the complete 22-film James Bond collection on Blu-ray.

The Avengers I have had a chance to watch The Avengers on Blu-ray and have listened to exactly 6:02 minutes of Joss Whedon's commentary so far with plans on finishing tonight and delivering an article for you tomorrow or the following day. The speed in which I finish depends on Joss, however, as he already tends to be very loquacious. Otherwise, the film looks and sounds great and I did get a chance to watch the "Agent 47" short film (or Marvel One-Shot as they refer to it) with Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford, which wasn't too bad, but it was a short film, which means there wasn't much to expect. Overall, fans of the film should definitely pick this one up, though I will admit, after seeing it three times now, you start to feel its bloat more and more with each viewing. Luckily, it's a film that tends...

This week: The biggest blockbuster of the year, "The Avengers," is likely to become the best-selling home video of the year as fans can't seem to get enough of Marvel's Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Captain America teaming up to battle Loki and an army of hostile aliens.

Also new this week is the hilariously twisted Danish comedy "Klown," the thriller "Barricade" starring Eric McCormack and a collection of all 22 James Bond films called, simply, "Bond 50."

'The Avengers'

Box Office: $622 million

Storyline: Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Captain America (Chris Evans) are recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury (Samuel L.

Last week saw the release of The Avengers here in the UK, the year’s biggest film to date, and the third-highest-grossing film of all time. Naturally, it was a pretty good week – somewhat marred, however, by the fact that the UK edition has a violent scene edited and Joss Whedon’s commentary track omitted.

Needless to say, I’ll be importing my copy from the Us sometime in the future, after its release there tomorrow. (It also means I’ll have the proper title – ‘The Avengers’ – on the cover, and not just ‘Avengers Assemble’, a name which I refuse to use, because ‘The Avengers’ is just way cooler.)

This week is just as big a week all round, with Whedon returning to the home entertainment market in the form of The Cabin in the Woods, along with the equally-praised Indonesian action film, The Raid, and many more excellent films.

Today sees the release of Resident Evil: Damnation, the new CGI movie in the series directed by Makoto Kamiya and the seventh feature film to spawn from Capcom’s sixteen year old game. In the beginning the rough edges, woeful (and wonderful) voice acting and script gave the terrifying game a B-movie sheen and Resident Evil had its hooks in us. As much derived from Robert Wise’s The Haunting as the slew of Zombie films Capcom delivered a genre-defining game and introduced a whole new generation to the terror of the flesh-eating living dead. We’ve been asked to look back over the series and explore how the confluence of movie and video games gave us the deadfleshfest we enjoy today.

In the early days it was simple. Buy the license to a big summer movie, take an existing game genre (platform, racer, beat em-ups: the usual suspects) and...

The next terrifying chapter in the smash hit Resident Evil saga, based on Capcom's multi-million dollar video games series, Resident Evil: Damnation is available on Blu-ray and DVD on September 24. In this action-packed instalment directed by Makoto Kamiya, United States special agent Leon S Kennedy (voiced by Matthew Mercer) sneaks into a small Eastern European country to verify rumours that Bio Organic Weapons are being used in war. Shortly after his infiltration, the Us government orders him to leave immediately. Determined to uncover the truth, Leon ignores the order and enters the battlefield to end the chain of tragedies caused by the BOWs. Resident Evil: Damnation is packed with the kind of eye-popping visuals and thrilling suspense that Evil fans have come to expect. To celebrate Resident Evil: Damnation's release, (more)...

It’s Monday, so we all know what that means! Yes, it’s time for another rundown of DVDs and Blu-ray’s hitting stores online and offline this week. It’s a jam-packed week, with plenty of movies waiting to take you money, so let us breakdown the new releases and highlight what you should – and shouldn’t – be buying from today, September 24th 2012.

Pick(S) Of The Week

The Raid (DVD/Blu-ray)

Deep in the heart of one of Jakarta’s most deprived slums stands an impenetrable high-rise apartment block. To most it is 30 floors of Hell to be avoided at all costs but for many of the city’s most dangerous killers and gangsters, including the area’s most notorious crime lord, it is a fortress-like safe house protecting them from the law. Even for the bravest and most experienced police officers it is considered a no-go area.

Written by Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society and Resident Evil: Degeneration screenwriter Shotaro Suga and directed by his Resident Evil: Degeneration compatriot Makoto Kamiya Resident Evil: Damnation is the second CG animated feature in the Resident Evil series.

Kennedy as he sneaks into a small Eastern European country to verify rumors that Bio Organic Weapons (B.O.W.s) are being used in war. Right after his infiltration,...

Wait, did you think there was just one Resident Evil film coming out this year? How wrong you were, little raccoon! Later this month, we’ll be hit with another Resident Evil film, but this one is an all-cg feature that doesn’t require the talents of either Milla Jovovich or Paul W.S. Anderson. Strange, right? Next week sees the release of Makota Kamiya‘s Resident Evil: Damnation, another totally CG outing from the director of 2008′s Resident Evil: Degeneration that returns to the (bloody) adventures of United States Special Agent Leon S. Kennedy, now tasked with sneaking into a foreign country to see just what is up with their use of Bio Organic Weapons (B.O.W.s) during a war. Guess what, their B.O.W.s are not being used for fun. To get you pumped for this all-new Resident Evil animated battle royale, we’re giving away two (2) prize packs from Resident Evil: Damnation to...

While Lara Croft and Mortal Kombat each had brief moments in the sun, Resident Evil is really the only successful film franchise based on a video game. And while the five film and counting series has proven extremely lucrative, many of the game’s fans have been left unmoved. In order to rectify this, a second Resident Evil film franchise was launched, one that hems closer to the games in both character, style and in being, well animated. The series, which launched with 2008’s Resident Evil: Degeneration continues with the new, Resident Evil: Damnation which is designed to bridge the gap between games five and six in the series. Earlier today, Capcom and Sony Pictures hit Comic-Con to show off six minutes of footage and answer tons of eclectic fan questions.
