The fourth installment is set to be released in the summer of 2023

A teaser trailer for Resident Evil: Death Island was released on February 7, by Sony Pictures Entertainment, which confirmed the upcoming fourth installment of the series. As of now, no specific release date is out yet, but it is certain to be premiering in the summer of 2023.

The film incorporates characters from multiple games in the franchise and has an entirely original storyline. Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a CAPCOM producer, oversaw the project. Matthew Mercer performs Leon S. Kennedy, Kevin Dorman performs Chris Redfield, and Erin Cahill performs Rebecca Chambers in the English dub.

Based on the official description of Death Island’s plot, in the upcoming film, 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 looking into a zombie epidemic in San Francisco, where the source of the virus is unknown. The only thing the victims have in common is that they had all recently visited Alcatraz Island.

Following that lead, Chris and his colleagues travel to the island, where they encounter a new nightmare. It will be fascinating to see all the legends of the series in action together, as this film has the potential to be the best-animated film in the franchise.
