Resident Evil: Death Island Is Officially Coming Back This September
Resident Evil's Death Island Returns In A Gorgeous New Story Adaptation
Resident Evil has so many official releases, remakes, and spin-off materials that it can honestly be hard to keep track of them all, with even the most dedicated fans not having seen everything the multimedia series has offered over the past 30 years. While not all of these spinoffs are as widely beloved as the mainline games in the series, that doesn't mean they don't lack in quality.
Considering that we're still nearly a year away from the release of the Resident Evil Veronica remake, and even longer for Resident Evil Requiem's Story DLC, this most recent official release is the perfect way to help pass the time.
Resident Evil's Newest Adaptation Is Absolutely Stunning
Although the adaptation has been out for some time in other languages, Capcom has officially licensed a physical release for the English version of the Resident Evil: Death Island manga adaptation of the animated film, which will be arriving on September 29, as noted by RENEWS on X.
If you haven't heard of Resident Evil: Death Island before, the 2023 film followed the story of some of the series' most iconic protagonists joining forces to combat a bioterrorist attack on Alcatraz Island in California, facing off against new and familiar threats from the series' history.
Being the fourth film in the animated series, Death Island also offered a rare glimpse into what the heroes of the series have been up to after the events of Resident Evil 6.
Although the manga doesn't offer anything as extreme as a brand-new story different from its predecessor, the adaptation has received plenty of praise for outshining the somewhat mixed reviews for Death Island.
A Chance To Revisit Death Island's Unique Premise
Being published by Titan Manga and illustrated by Zino, the artist behind the gorgeous Phantom Blade and Unity of Heaven manga, the newest edition will offer a total of 240 pages of incredibly detailed artwork, which can be pre-ordered now for $12.99 through online retailers like Amazon when it drops on September 29.
On top of some absurdly detailed artwork that is more than worth checking out even if you've already watched the original, the Death Island manga adaptation offers some slight alterations that retell the same story more clearly than its predecessor at times, while also allowing characters like Jill to shine with even cooler scenes compared to the film.
Even though the manga release might not be as anticipated as Resident Evil's upcoming remakes, the Death Island manga is one that's still worth keeping an eye on when it releases, which has plenty of previews through its previously digital releases if you wanted to check out a bit more before committing to a physical purchase.
