New ‘Resident Evil: Death Island’ Trailer Is One for the Fans [Watch]

Wondering just where that fanservice shot from Resident Evil: Dead Island from yesterday came from? Animation studio Kadokawa has your answer with the brand-new Resident Evil: Death Island trailer!

Clocking in at just a minute long, the Death Island trailer summarizes the plot while giving us more fanservice shots of the team shooting zombies and doing slick acrobatics, Chris Redfield in a Hawaiian shirt (?!), swimming Lickers and more. The trailer itself is in English with Japanese text, so you won’t need to hunt down a translation.

Keep in mind that the trailer only gives the Japanese release date of July 7. It’s still not confirmed what the worldwide release date will be.

The sequel to 2017’s Resident Evil: Vendetta, Death Island features a completely original story and features characters from across the series. Hiroyuki Kobayashi (Resident Evil 4 producer) served as supervisor for the project. Sony Pictures Entertainment will be distributing the film worldwide, excluding Japan.

Directed by Eiichiro Hasumi (“Assassination Classroom”) from a screenplay by Makoto Fukami (“Psycho-Pass”),  Resident Evil: Death Island is a sequel to Resident Evil: Vendetta. D.S.O. agent Leon S. Kennedy is on a mission to rescue Dr. Antonio Taylor after he was kidnapped. However, a mysterious woman blocks his initial pursuit.

Meanwhile, B.S.A.A. agent Chris Redfield is investigating a zombie outbreak in San Francisco, where the cause of the infection cannot be identified. The only thing the victims have in common is that they all visited Alcatraz Island recently. Following that clue, Chris and his team head to the island, where a new horror awaits them.
