Seven years after the destruction of Raccoon City, the war against the zombies rages on in RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION, a co-production of CAPCOM and Sony Japan based on the popular video game and film franchise.
Making its theatrical debut this fall in Japan and coming to DVD, Blu-ray and PSP in North America later in 2008, this all-CGI animated feature tells the story of the “Umbrella Incident” that took place in Raccoon City which ended with a missile attack ordered by the government intended to wipe out the deadly zombie virus.
Following this catastrophe, the Umbrella Corporation’s stock plummeted. This serious blow to the business giant resulted in its complete dissolution. 7 years later, at an airport somewhere in the United States, on an ordinary autumn afternoon, a zombie is unleashed. Now, in an airport beginning to fill with the undead, the horrific disaster is about to repeat itself…
