At this week’s New York Comic Con MetaVerse, Capcom and manga distributor Tokyopop paired up to reveal the new “Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness” manga, that will mark the franchise’s 25 year anniversary, and tie into the upcoming animated Netflix series of the same name. Although no creative team is attached to the project as of yet, it’s been revealed that “Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness” will follow established characters Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield (who both first appeared in Resident Evil 2).

“I’ll never forget back in the beginning of my career, when as a young correspondent for an American gaming publication, I interviewed Capcom’s game director before the first game’s release,” said Tokyopop founder and CEO Stu Levy. “He and his R&D team were so excited to bring cinematic horror storytelling into the video game world. And now we at Tokyopop can contribute to the incredible franchise built on their original vision. It’s a dream come true!”

Previous Resident Evil comic book adaptations include Akita Shoten’s Resident Evil 6 manga tie-in “The Marhawa Desire,” various WildStorm series, and a prelude to the original game released by Marvel Comics in 1996. “We’re very excited to be teaming up with Tokyopop to expand the world of Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness,” said Masami Tokunaga, the Senior Vice President of TMS Entertainment USA. “We can’t wait to see what horror adventures await Leon and Claire in the graphic novel adaptation.”

“Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness” will debut at an unknown date in 2021, alongside Netflix’s Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness series. (It should not be confused with the newly announced live-action Netflix film, starring Kaya Scodelario as Claire and Avan Jogia as Leon.)
