The "Summer of Horror" arrived late in 2023, but when it finally dropped, it brought with it a tidal wave of zombies, bioweapons, and fan-favorite protagonists. Resident Evil: Death Island (バイオハザード：デスアイランド) promised something the live-action films never could: a canonical, gorgeously rendered CGI spectacle featuring the "Avengers of horror" — Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers all sharing the screen for the first time.
