Resident Evil: Vendetta, known as Biohazard: Vendetta (バイオハザード ヴェンデッタ, Baiohazādo Vendetta) in Japan, is a 2017 English-language Japanese adult animated biopunk action horror film set in the same universe as the Resident Evil video games. Produced by Marza Animation Planet and Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, the film features the characters Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers. Takashi Shimizu also served as executive producer, and Capcom producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi supervised the film. It is the third CG film, preceded by Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008) and Resident Evil: Damnation (2012), and also the third film installment with Leon Kennedy as a main character. It was released in Japan on May 27, 2017. It received mixed reviews, with many praising it for its animation, soundtrack, and action scenes, but was criticized for its characters, pacing, and plot. A sequel, Resident Evil: Death Island, was released in 2023.
