As one might expect, Dylan and JJ’s survivor scenario doesn’t play out favorably, but it does set the stage for someone’s villainous turn.Įven though the animated films don’t have a major impact on the video games, they are directly connected to them, and they reflect important events and stories. Their orders are to protect and save the higher-ups and kill the infected. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Claire Redfield are all active during this mission.ĭeath Island opens with a flashback from the Raccoon City Incident one of Umbrella’s employed military units is infected, all except for two soldiers named Dylan and JJ (respectively voiced by Daman Mills and Lucien Dodge in the film’s English version). While the previous animated films - Degeneration, Damnation, and Vendetta - tend to star only a few major characters from the game franchise, Death Island includes four heavy-hitters. However, the new animated film does manage to set itself apart by featuring an all-star cast and complementing the over-the-top action sequences with organic emotional moments. A big threat brews somewhere, and the characters rush in to stop it. Taking place between games 6 and 7, and following 2017’s Vendetta, the story of Resident Evil: Death Island is subject to the same formula as its predecessors. And as Capcom’s zombie shooter approaches the big 3-0, it unleashes another entry in the often overlooked animated series of films. Resident Evil is a video-game franchise with no foreseeable end in sight.
