Before the movie arrives, some may want to experience as many of its predecessors as possible. Fortunately, everyone can skip all the live-action endeavors and focus on the other computer-animated titles in the timeline. If fans want to catch up, there are three motion pictures and one TV series that all take place prior to what goes down in “Resident Evil: Death Island.”
In order to be properly prepared, viewers should check out “Resident Evil: Degeneration,” “Resident Evil: Damnation,” and “Resident Evil: Vendetta.” None of the titles are available on streaming services, but they can all be found for rent or purchase on YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV, Redbox, Vudu, and Amazon Prime Video.
Thankfully the TV series on the list doesn’t overstay its welcome and takes place between “Resident Evil 4” and “Resident Evil 5,” two major video game titles in the franchise. “Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness” is a four-part computer-animated series, and each entry is available to stream on Netflix. The episodes, which Total Film called an “oddly captivating slice of Resident Evil,” range from 25-28 minutes in length.
The right order to watch these titles would be “Degeneration,” “Infinite Darkness,” “Damnation,” and “Vendetta.” Doing so is sure to make “Resident Evil: Death Island” a worthwhile destination.
