Capcom Japan has taken a slightly different approach to its Resident Evil 4 Remake marketing, releasing an anime short titled Leon and the Mysterious Village to drum up interest ahead of release later this year.
The anime short sees Leon hunting for Ashley in the village, only he can’t find her, so he asks the locals; they get a bit angry, and kill Leon with an axe to the head. He’s then sent to heaven on a rainbow accompanied by Las Plagas-infected dogs. It’s utterly bizarre, but also undeniably cute, plus the animation looks fantastic.
Check it out below.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is scheduled for release on March 24, 2023 for PS4, PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. The game takes place six years after the events of Resident Evil 2, and sees Leon S. Kennedy now a trained government agent on a mission to rescue the President’s daughter from a mysterious cult.
