Resident Evil: Degeneration, known in Japan as Biohazard: Degeneration, is the first full-length motion capture CG animation feature film based on Capcom's Resident Evil video game series. The film was made by Capcom Studios in cooperation with Sony Picture Animation and Sony Pictures Entertainment. It premiered in Japan on October 11, 2008 at the Tokyo Game Show, and was released nationwide one week later on October 18.
Unlike the live-action Resident Evil film series, Degeneration is set within the same continuity as the original video game series. The main characters Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield appear together in this film for the first time since 1998's Resident Evil 2 video game. The movie takes place between the events of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5.
