The film was released in Japan on May 27, 2017,[3] while a limited theatrical showing in United Kingdom took place on June 14, 2017[4] and North America is planned for June 19, 2017.

Plot

The story is set in between the events of Resident Evil 6 and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. BSAA agent Chris Redfield is tracking Glenn Arias, a death merchant who is on a mission of vengeance against the government for killing his family and wife at their wedding. Chris and his fellow agents infiltrate a mansion in Mexico, after Kathy White, their undercover source who was following Arias' organization, vanished along with her son, Zack. Inside the mansion, Chris' fellow agents are ambushed by aggressive zombies (Zack included) and death traps, with Chris being the sole survivor and barely making it out alive. Chris then comes face-to-face with Arias outside the mansion and engages him in CQC, only to be swiftly defeated. He then finds out that Kathy has become a zombie, who now obeys Arias. As Arias leaves with his B.O.W. associates, Maria and Diego Gomez, the BSAA arrives just in time to rescue Chris by slaughtering Kathy and the remaining zombie horde with Chris vowing revenge on Arias.

Meanwhile, Rebecca Chambers, now a professor at a university specializing in vaccine development, a former member of Chris' S.T.A.R.S. unit and survivor of the infamous mansion incident, studies a new virus coined Animality virus or "A-virus", that is capable of laying dormant any individual until the right trigger is presented. She identifies three component to the virus: the base virus, the trigger virus and the vaccine. The research labs are soon attacked by Maria, who releases the virus via aerosol form. While her colleagues quickly turn into zombies, Rebecca is able to formulate a vaccine that she administers on herself immediately thereby being immune to the gas. After fending off some zombies, Rebecca is then rescued by Chris, who briefs her on Arias's plan and motives.

Rebecca recognizes the zombies loyalty to the host and makes the connection to the Las Plagas, the bioweapon used by the Los Illuminados, with the remaining members of the cult providing information to Arias in developing the virus. Both identify the need for an expert on the matter and makes contact with Leon S. Kennedy in Colorado. But Leon is hesitant to join their mission after his fellow officers were ambushed and turned into zombies from receiving poor intel about Los Illuminados. Chris and Rebecca try to get Leon on board the mission, but the trio are soon attacked by Maria and Diego. They succeed in capturing Rebecca, while Leon and Chris team up to plan a rescue operation and decrypt Arias' plan of a large-scale attack on New York City.

Arias intends to make Rebecca his bride as she shares a striking resemblance to his late wife. He develops a new strain of virus that is not affected by the vaccine and injects it to Rebecca. Arias challenges Chris to rescue Rebecca within thirty minutes, which is the time that requires the virus to take full effect. As Arias' associates imitate their attack on New York by releasing the gas form of the virus in vehicles, Leon and Chris' new BSAA team, consisting of DC, Damian and Nadia, destroy the vehicles and contain the virus, although Damian is brutally decapitated by zombie dogs in the process. Chris then infiltrates Arias' safe house, defeats Diego and rescues Rebecca. In the terrace, he is confronted by Arias, and a brutal gun-kata and Close Quarters fight ends with Arias falling through the glass terrace below to his demise. Diego then revealed to be Arias' brother and they assimilate to form a new Tyrant form. Chris is no match against the Arias-tyrant until Leon joins the fight after working his way through the safehouse, mowing down zombies. With the assistance of DC and Nadia, they manage to trap the tyrant, at which point Chris finishes off the Arias-tyrant with a rocket launcher. They are then able to locate the antidote that Arias kept and cure Rebecca before the thirty minutes is up.

The epilogue features Maria being alive and vowing vengeance for Arias' death.
