Bloody Disgusting learned tonight that Leon S. Kennedy will be voiced by Nick Apostolides, and Claire Redfield will be voiced by Stephanie Panisello, well known to fans as the voice actors from the reimagined Resident Evil 2 from 2019.

This teaser art gives a glimpse of Leon and Claire in action, while a horde of zombies are headed towards one of the major sites of the series: the White House.

Set a few years after Resident Evil 4, the newly-released official synopsis goes into further details:

“In 2006, there were traces of improper access to secret Presidential files found in the White House’s network. American federal agent Leon S. Kennedy is among the group invited to the White House to investigate this incident, but when the lights suddenly go out, Leon and the SWAT team are forced to take down a horde of mysterious zombies.

“Meanwhile, TerraSave staff member Claire Redfield encounters a mysterious image drawn by a youth in a country she visited, while providing support to refugees. Haunted by this drawing, which appears to be of a victim of viral infection, Claire starts her own investigation.

“The next morning, Claire visits the White House to request the construction of a welfare facility. There, she has a chance reunion with Leon and uses the opportunity to show him the boy’s drawing. Leon seems to realize some sort of connection between the zombie outbreak at the White House and the strange drawing, but he tells Claire that there is no relation and leaves. In time, these two zombie outbreaks in distant countries lead to events that shake the nation to its very core.”

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is being animated by full 3D animation studio Quebico, produced by TMS Entertainment, and executive produced by Hiroyuki Kobayashi (Capcom).

The podcast, which featured the main casts of both of the recent Resident Evil remakes alongside each other, was a lighthearted affair, with the cast members discussing their experiences working on the games, their thoughts on video games, and so on. When commenting on how it’s been great to interact with the other performers from the Resident Evil 3 remake, Stephanie mentions having worked with one of them on an upcoming project.

Now, one could jump on this, saying that Capcom is working on a Code: Veronica remake, but given that we’re apparently getting Resident Evil 4 instead, that shoots this one down. However, this could also mean that Stephanie meant that she had worked with one of the RE3 voice actors on another project, entirely. Stephanie has done work with the Gears and Tomb Raider franchises, after all, so that might be what she was referring to.

Nevertheless, one can add another piece to the speculation puzzle as to what Capcom has planned for the future, Resident Evil-related or not.

Props to RelyOnHorror for finding this.
