Sony Pictures has provided Dread Central with a pair of official posters for Resident Evil, their highly anticipated video game adaptation from Weapons director Zach Cregger.
In an all-new story, Resident Evil follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in an action-packed, non-stop race for survival, as one fateful, horrifying night collapses into chaos around him.
The posters tease a cold, isolated apocalypse, with Abrams wandering through snow-covered streets in one image while darkness closes in around him in the other. Both are packed with infected silhouettes and ominous imagery, but the cleverest detail may be the hidden Umbrella logo subtly formed within the car headlights and lighting design.
The previously shared trailer wasted absolutely no time throwing audiences directly into the nightmare, following Abrams as a courier traveling through a snow-covered, nearly abandoned town before stumbling into the middle of a rapidly spreading outbreak.
The footage leans heavily into panic and momentum, showing infected civilians hurling themselves through streets, blood-soaked interiors, overturned vehicles, sewer-dwelling monstrosities, and packs of terrifying infected dogs stalking through the darkness. One particularly intense sequence features zombies throwing themselves from rooftops as Abrams desperately runs for safety.
This new Resident Evil looks much more grounded and survival-driven than previous adaptations, with Cregger emphasizing tension, isolation, and resourcefulness over giant action set pieces. Even with the increased pace and scale, the trailer still captures the oppressive dread and unpredictability that made the games iconic in the first place.
Look for Resident Evil in theaters on September 18, 2026.
