We see flashes of a group of survivors navigating the nightmarish landscape. Among them, a new protagonist emerges—a former S.T.A.R.S. operative determined to uncover the truth behind a series of brutal incidents linked to the re-emergence of the sinister Umbrella Corporation. Quick cuts reveal their tense journey through dark alleyways, underground labs, and biohazardous zones filled with grotesque, mutated creatures lurking in the shadows.

This upcoming film is set to begin filming in 2025 with a planned release on September 18, 2026.
