Damn it Capcom , do n’t play with me like this
Today , a trailer was relinquish to inclose a newfangled Resident Evil CG - animated movie , Resident Evil : Death Island . It ’s a continuation to the previous picture show , Resident Evil : Vendetta and continues to fill in details for what the classic Resident Evil characters have been up to between the games . What ’s particularly illustrious though is a very blatant tease that happen right at the end of the puzzler trailer . And that ’s the potential return of Jill Valentine to the front lines .
For starter , go forward and watch the Resident Evil : Death Island trailer . It ’s a teaser , so do n’t anticipate a ton of information . That said there ’s a synopsis on the actual YouTube telecasting description . Leon Kennedy is attempt a deliverance for Dr. Antonio Taylor then gets involved with a “ mysterious char . ” Meanwhile , Chris Redfield finds himself look into a zombi eruption connected to Alcatraz . Somehow this all relates to a shot of Jill Valentine at a firing mountain chain . Here ’s why this is such a big deal . Potentially .
In the Resident Evil storyline , we have n’t heard from Jill Valentine since 2011 . This was in an email to Barry Burton the role player can discover in Resident Evil Revelations 2 , which is set between the events of Resident Evils 5 and 6 . And as far as seeing Jill Valentine in someone , the last time we learn her was in Resident Evil 5 , set in 2009 . One of the iconic track of the classic Resident malefic games , Valentine ’s role in the fifth game proved controversial as not only was she abducted and turned malevolent - ish by Wesker , her character purpose was dramatically altered to be more … ceremonious to put it politely . We have n’t find out her since .
In the message to Burton , Valentine notes that she is undertaking some kind of rehabilitation to be reinstated as an officer in the BSAA . That ’s the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance , which currently employs Burton and Chris Redfield ( take down : I have n’t playact through Village yet so if that ’s changed , I do n’t know ) . So presumptively Jill is in some commonwealth of fighting human body , or has pass the past several years getting there . Village is set in 2021 , so that ’s quite a gap .
Now , technically we have seen Jill Valentine latterly as player . That ’s thanks to the Resident Evil 3 remake , though . We have to remember that one was typeset in the ninety . A circumstances of barbaric shit has occurred throughout the Resident Evil series , but one thing has remained unvarying and that ’s the timeline . It ’s held together by channel tape , fiberglass and DLC , but it ’s still there . The Resident Evil 3 thing , though , is what brings me to not get down my hopes up here .
If this is what ’s in reality take place , this will be the first clip Jill Valentine has been an fighting part of the Resident Evil canyon in over a X . Which is risky to think about , considering she ’s Jill goddamn Valentine . It ’s a somewhat tremendous moment for longtime Resident Evil buff , because as a continuation to Vendetta Death Island has to be arrange sometime in - between 2014 and the present Clarence Shepard Day Jr. . But that guessing of Jill surely seem weirdly familiar compare to our old pals Chris and Leon .
Sure , it ’s a brief shot and not exactly wide enough to show everything . But it really does look like Jill is rip in good order out of Resident Evil 3 there . She has the blue tank , the swoopy haircut , etc . It ’s like she has n’t aged a day , and somehow got her born whisker colouring material back after Wesker ’s stint as a crazy scientist made it turn blonde . If it is n’t manifest what I ’m getting at here , is that worst caseful scenario this is some variety of flashback .
At the ending of the 24-hour interval this is a tease within a teaser prevue , so nobody knows what the heck this really means . But as soon as I see it the Resident Evil lore louse living in my psyche stirred to live and set about eat , so here we are . It would be so cool to see Jill Valentine back in action outdoors of a goofy incentive mode , and mayhap Resident Evil : Death Island is the first tone forwards .
