Resident Evil: Death Island[c] is an upcoming Japanese adult computer-animated action horror film set in the same universe as the Resident Evil video games.

It is scheduled for release in July 2023.

Synopsis

"D.S.O. agent Leon S. Kennedy is on a mission to rescue Dr. Antonio Taylor from kidnappers, when a mysterious woman thwarts his 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."[1]

Three other protagonists, Rebecca Chambers, Claire Redfield and Jill Valentine are revealed to also return.[2]
