Netflix is getting in on the E3 2021 and Summer Game Fest action with its own Geeked Week. Today is anime, tomorrow is gaming, but ever the two shall meet because we've got another look at the Resident Evil TV series called Infinite Darkness. 

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is one of several adaptations in the works, but this one is CGI in anime style. It's an all-new story that  takes place in the year 2006, two years post-Resident Evil 4. The series starts off with the U.S. President, Ashley's father, having to evacuate the White House after yet another hostile takeover takes place. In the universe that can't seem to catch a break, fans of the iconic horror series from Capcom have a new adventure to partake in, and it's set to go live on July 8.

The above trailer gives us our first look at the opening sequence that leads up to the events that have reunited Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine as they team up once more to fight back against unspeakable horrors. The events of Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will put Ashley's father front and center as the president of the United States. A previous look at the TV series started out with a child's drawing focusing on Racoon City. A sense of foreboding could instantly be felt before all Hell broke loose.

The latest Resident Evil adaptation is produced and supervised by Capcom's Hiroyuki Kobayashi from the Resident Evil franchise. TMS Entertainment, which has birthed various anime series, will produce the series alongside Quebico, led by Kei Miyamoto. The entire project will be a full 3DCG animation production.

With Resident Evil Village ramping up the horror love once more and a separate film in the works, it's nice to see the Capcom franchise getting so much spotlight. Whether Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will feel like the iconic series remains to be seen, but the non-live-action take seems to be the way to go for these sorts of projects.

What do you think about the latest look at Netflix's Resident Evil Infinite Darkness? Do you feel hopeful about this adaptation, or are you burnt out after all of the Village talk? Sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below! 

Today, during Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest livestream, Evil Dead The Game, first announced during the 2020 Game Awards, made an appearance, with looks at gameplay, enemies, and combat. Earlier in the week, it was announced that the game would appear on the stream. 

In terms of gameplay, Evil Dead The Game looks remarkably similar to other asynchronous multiplayer horror games such as Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th – though from the looks of the trailer, the enemy count seems to be higher. The trailer also showed off drivable vehicles and the ability to play as the demon hunting down the other player characters.

Narrated by actor Bruce Campbell, the trailer revealed a few tidbits about player objectives, which include collecting pages of the Necronomicon, lost tapes, and other "lost artifacts." 

You can get a look at the game in the video below:

Evil Dead The Game doesn't have a specific release date yet, but it is expected to be released sometime this year. The game is coming from developer Boss Team Games and publisher Sabre Interactive. An interesting note about Boss Team is its entire mission statement revolves around making video games based on other intellectual properties. Alongside Evil Dead The Game, Boss Team is developing a card fighting game based on Netflix's Cobra Kai series, which first became available to play back in March of this year. 

As the name implies, Evil Dead The Game is an adaptation of The Evil Dead movie series, which debuted in 1981 with director Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead. In 2013, director Fede Álvarez was tasked with rebooting the series, and since then the series has had a minor resurgence. In 2015 on Starz, a television series called Ash vs Evil Dead premiered, and a new film, titled Evil Dead Rise, is expected to be released in 2022 on HBO Max. The new film is being written and directed by Lee Cronin, who made his directorial debut in 2019 with The Hole in the Ground.
