What to know about Resident Evil
Official release scope
Sony's film page and the dedicated official site both state September 18, 2026. This is a theatrical date, so the countdown does not claim that every cinema or country starts screenings at one universal hour.
An all-new story, not a franchise summary
The page is specifically about Cregger's 2026 film. Bryan's courier job and the single night of escalating chaos come from Sony's synopsis, replacing the previous generic Resident Evil franchise citation that did not prove the date or identify the correct movie.
