Everything You Need To Know About Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness
Netflix’s Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will be arriving on our screens on July 8, 2021. Luckily, for Resident Evil 2 fans, we are going to witness the iconic duo of Leon and Claire once again. Not only that but the character’s voice actors from the game, i.e. Nick Apostolides and Stephanie Panisello, would be making a return for the series. The series is produced and supervised by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who was involved in all of the successful movies: Resident Evil: Degeneration, Resident Evil: Damnation, and Resident Evil Vendetta.
Netflix released an unusually long synopsis for the show which states: “In 2006, there were traces of improper access to secret Presidential files found in the White House’s network. American federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is among the group invited to the White House to investigate this 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 staff member Claire Redfield encounters a mysterious image drawn by a youth in a country she visited, while providing support to refugees. Haunted by this drawing, which appears to be a victim of viral infection, Claire starts her own investigation.
The next morning, Claire visits the White House to request the construction of a welfare facility. There, she has a chance reunion with Leon and uses the opportunity to show him the boy’s drawing. Leon seems to realize some sort of connection between the zombie outbreak at the White House and the strange drawing, but he tells Claire that there is no relation and leaves. In time, these two zombie outbreaks in distant countries lead to events that shake the nation to its very core.” Fans have a lot to look forward to in the Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness series which will deliver a perfect mix of horror and conspiracy thrillers.
