Watch the “RESIDENT EVIL: Infinite Darkness” opening scene

During Netflix Geeked’s first-ever Geeked Week, it was announced that the original CG anime series, RESIDENT EVIL: Infinite Darkness would be launching exclusively on Netflix on July 8 this year. Audiences were also treated to a clip of the opening scene.

Six years ago (2000), the helicopter belonging to the U.S. special forces who were intervening in the Penamstan civil war fell from the sky. The U.S. Army Mad Dogs, who were in the same battleground, refused orders from the command center to stand their ground and instead went to save survivors of the crash. However, the special forces were already annihilated. The Mad Dogs, led by their captain Jason, were also forced to escape in order to survive.

The opening scene is set six years earlier (in 2000) in the city streets of civil war-ravaged Penamstan, where bullets fly. When a U.S. special forces helicopter falls from the sky, the U.S. Army Mad Dogs, led by Jason, refuse orders from the command center to stand their ground. Instead, they go to save the survivors left stranded on the battlefield.

The revealed clip focuses on Jason, who is currently (in 2006) operating with Leon as a U.S. federal agent. As the captain of the Mad Dogs during this earlier incident, he and the unit engage in an intense battle with the local Penamstan soldiers.

With over 110 million units shipped worldwide, Resident Evil is continuing its 25th-anniversary celebration with the upcoming premiere of RESIDENT EVIL: Infinite Darkness. The show is directed by Eiichiro Hasumi with the story by Shogo Mutoh and Eiichiro Hasumi. It stars Nick Apostolides as Leon S. Kennedy and Stephanie Panisello as Claire Redfield.
