Resident Evil began its life as a popular video game franchise that is still ongoing. The Resident Evil brand previously inspired a series of feature films from director Paul W.S. Anderson, which concluded with the sixth installment, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, in 2016. The franchise was later given a reboot live-action film in 2021 in the form of Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. Last year, Netflix would also premiere the one-season live-action series dubbed Resident Evil which starred the late Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker.
There have also been several animated films connected to the video games to be released before Death Island. That includes the releases of Resident Evil: Degeneration in 2008, Resident Evil: Damnation in 2012, and Resident Evil: Vendetta in 2017. In 2021, Netflix would also release a four-part limited series dubbed Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, which followed Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. There have been rumors that the movie series will be rebooted once again with another live-action adaptation, ,and while that remains to be seen, Sony and Capcom will continue to expand the franchise with these animated films.
Resident Evil: Death Island will be released on 4K Steelbook, Digital, and DVD on July 25, 2023, courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
