Resident Evil Reveals New Artwork in Honor of 30th Anniversary

Capcom has launched a dedicated webpage for the series’ anniversary, which, despite being sparse at the moment, hints at exciting developments leading up to 2026, when the anniversary officially commences. The latest artwork, crafted in an Art Nouveau style, features iconic characters Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, the newcomer Grace Ashcroft, and Ada Wong, all depicted in high-fashion attire, seated on thrones with formidable foes lurking behind them.

Elements from previous Resident Evil antagonists can be seen behind characters: Claire with a Licker, while Jill and Leon are paired with Nemesis and Mr. X, respectively. The designs reflect the characters’ most recent appearances in the franchise, exuding an upscale interpretation reminiscent of Resident Evil Remake character designs.

While there are no announcements yet regarding whether these designs will be featured in future games or promotions, Capcom’s plans for the anniversary celebration remain mysterious, leaving fans eagerly anticipating upcoming reveals.
