From video games to novels to movies, the Resident Evil franchise has a vast umbrella of multimedia. But there’s never been a stage play based on the series. Well, that’s about to change.
Capcom will be working with Avex Live Creative and Ace Crew Entertainment to bring Biohazard: The Stage to life. The stage play will premiere towards the end of October at Tokyo’s EX Theater Roppongi.
Whether canon to the series’ lore or not, the stage play will give us a brand new story revolving around Chris Redfield, Piers Nivans, and Rebecca Chambers. As expected, an outbreak has occurred at a university in western Australia. Chris and Piers are sent to investigate and eventually meet up with Rebecca, who is a professor at the school and also a consultant to the BSAA. The central mystery will revolve around a young man named Tyler Howard, and his potential role with the outbreak.
We’ll keep you updated on this! Now, where can I sign up to play Chris?
