Netflix Reveals New CG-Animated Series ‘Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness’

UPDATE: It looks more like this was a slip of the finger by Netflix Portugal, as Capcom and Netflix officially announced the CGI series today at TGS 2020. Not a film, Infinite Darkness will be an episodic series featuring Leon and Claire. In addition, concept art for the series has made its way online, which Biohazardcast was quick to pick up.

Netflix surprised everyone today with news that in addition to the upcoming live-action Resident Evil series that’s currently in development, we’re also getting a CG series featuring Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy. Revealed via Netflix Portugal (and it seems accidentally, as the tweet has since been deleted), Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is scheduled to be released in 2021.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is based around the stories of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, and “adds suspense into dynamic action scenes” to “reveal a Resident Evil world unlike anything seen before.” The series is being executive produced by Hiroyuki Kobayashi (Capcom), produced by TMS Entertainment, and animated by full 3D animation studio Quebico, which worked on the 2017-released Resident Evil: Vendetta.

No further information has been released at this time, including just who will be handling the voice-acting duties for Claire and Leon. One would hope that Capcom would employ Nick Apostolides and Stephanie Panisello, but we’ll have to see.
