Capcom has announced that pre-orders for the merch collaboration between Japanese metal band BABYMETAL and Resident Evil are now live. The collaboration commemorates the latter’s 30th anniversary.
The collaboration is primarily themed around Resident Evil Village and strongly features Lady Dimitrescu. You can purchase a T-shirt titled “The Ladies,” which features the three members of the band alongside Dimitrescu, an acrylic stand that adapts the art of “The Ladies” shirt, The Dolls T-shirt, which features the four in a more chibi-style, a blind-bag where you can get one of the four as a keychain, and a hoodie with Resident Evil-themed artwork. All pieces of merch will be available to pre-order until June 26.
Check out the trailer showcasing some of the merch below:
The latest entry in the Resident Evil franchise, Resident Evil Requiem, is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The Deluxe Edition is available with the Standard Edition ($69.99), a pack of five costumes, four weapon skins, two screen filters, two weapon charms, and much more. A Premium Steelbook Edition ($89.99) is also available and includes the full game, Deluxe Edition contents, and a limited-edition lenticular card.
Later this year, on September 18, the Resident Evil movie will premiere in theaters. Zach Cregger, the film’s director who also made Barbarian and Oscar-winning Weapons, recently featured in a behind-the-scenes video for the film. As previously announced, the movie will pull elements that pay homage to the gameplay of Resident Evil, such as a first-person perspective, fixed camera angles, green herbs, and characters that miss their shots. However, it will not feature any previously established characters from the franchise like Leon Kennedy or Chris Redfield. Lastly, Austin Abrams (Weapons) will play the protagonist, named Bryan.
