Following the big screen debut of Resident Evil: Retribution on September 14, and ahead of Resident Evil 6 in October, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release their second DTV animated film, Resident Evil: Damnation on September 25, 2012.
Here's a synopsis of the film, direct from Sony: "Kennedy sneaks into a small Eastern Europe country to verify rumors that Bio Organic Weapons (B.O.W.s) are being used in war. Right after his infiltration, the US government orders him to leave immediately. Determined to uncover the truth, Leon ignores the order and enters the battlefield to end the chain of tragedies caused by the B.O.W.s."
The film is written by Shotaro Suga (Resident Evil: Degeneration) and produced by Hiroyuki Kobayashi (Resident Evil live-action film series, Resident Evil: Degeneration), and features the vocal talents of Matthew Mercer as Leon S. Kennedy, Courtenay Taylor as Ada Wong, and Salli Saffioti as Ingrid Hunnigan.
