Resident Evil: Degeneration, known in Japan as Biohazard: Degeneration (バイオハザード ディジェネレーション, Baiohazādo Dijenereeshon[?]), is the first full-length CG animation feature based upon the Resident Evil series of games. It was announced by Capcom and Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan (SPEJ)on October 29, 2007. It is currently in production, with plans for a release in 2008.

While the film will feature a "brand new storyline",[1] promotional footage states that the film will be set "7 years from Raccoon City". The teaser included with the Resident Evil: Extinction DVD and Blu-ray Disc releases confirmed the appearance of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield.[2] A recent interview with Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi, states that the film will show a story for each of the series' characters to show what has happened to them over time.

In autumn 2005, an incident happens at an airport somewhere in a mid-western American city. Claire Redfield, now a member of a non-governmental organization which handles search and rescue of chemical and bioterrorist attacks, is sent to oversee the rescue operation. The plan goes awry when an infected victim zombifies and attacks several others, causing the infection to spread quickly and starting widespread panic among the public in the airport. At the same time, a passenger plane makes an emergency landing, which fails and crashes into the lobby, further causing more chaos.

 

Meanwhile, an unknown terrorist holding the deadly T-Virus demands the President of the United States to unveil the entire truth of what happened in the Raccoon City disaster and the direct involvement of Umbrella. Leon S. Kennedy, one of the survivors from Raccoon City and now a government agent, is sent to the airport to command the Special Response Team. Together with Claire and an ex-SWAT police officer, Angela Miller, they and the rest of the special forces have to repel the zombies, find any possible survivors in the airport, and track down the bio-terrorist responsible for the incident within a 4 hour deadline or the T-Virus will be spread to every major city on the planet.
