Leon and Claire fight a zombie outbreak in the White House in Netflix’s upcoming anime series Resident Evil CG.
Netflix has released a full description of the storyline for Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, which is due to be released sometime this year.
“In 2006, there were traces of improper access to the president’s secret files found on the White House network. American federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is among the group invited to the White House to investigate the incident, but when the lights suddenly go out, Leon and the SWAT team are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies.
Meanwhile, TerraSave team member Claire Redfield finds a mysterious image drawn by a young man in a country she visited while providing support to refugees. Haunted by this drawing, which appears to be a victim of viral infection, Claire begins her own investigation.
“The next morning, Claire visits the White House to request the construction of a social assistance facility. There, she has a chance to reunite with Leon and takes the opportunity to show him the boy’s drawing. Leon seems to notice some kind of connection between the zombie outbreak at the White House and the strange cartoon, but he tells Claire that there is no relationship and leaves. Over time, these two zombie outbreaks in distant countries lead to events that rock the nation to its core. “
Based on this synopsis of the plot, Infinite Darkness tells a story of its own, unrelated to video games. The teaser trailer is below:
Infinite Darkness is produced and supervised by Hiroyuki Kobayashi of Capcom. TMS Entertainment, which gave rise to several anime series, is producing, while Quebico, led by Kei Miyamoto, the producer of Resident Evil: Vendetta, is responsible for the complete production of the 3DCG animation.
Netflix has also revealed that it is bringing back voice actors Nick Apostolides like Leon and Stephanie Panisello as Claire – the same roles they played in the 2019 Resident Evil 2 Remake. And here’s a new image (you can see the zombies outside White House at the bottom):
