Sony unveiled the first footage for Zach Cregger’s upcoming Resident Evil reboot during its CinemaCon presentation, offering attendees a darker take on the long-running franchise.

The upcoming live-action reboot of Resident Evil is set to premiere in theaters on September 18, 2026. Rather than adapting a familiar storyline from the iconic video games of the same name, the film will tell an original story with new characters. The story will follow Bryan, a courier played by Austin Abrams, who finds himself caught in the middle of a viral outbreak inside a hospital in Raccoon City.

Check out a description of the Resident Evil footage from Sony’s CinemaCon panel below:

Someone walking in the snow. Knocks on door of house. Opens up, asks to use phone because of car troubles. Picks up phone and calls someone. It goes to voicemail. He’s seen running into the barn, then searching for weapons. He finds a body. Then is in a sewer and sees a big bodies person sitting there. He’s seen running into the snow again, then locking zombies in a room. He then is in a city where bodies are dropping from the skyscrapers and falling onto parked cars.
