To prepare for the release of Resident Evil 4, Capcom unveils a very original Japanese advertisement

The remake of Resident Evil 4 will be released this Friday, March 24th, and Capcom is going all out to promote the game. But instead of focusing on gameplay, the Japanese publisher is offering us a very offbeat advertisement.

Indeed, Resident Evil 4 has treated itself to a kind of animated mini-series with a style similar to Studio Ghibli productions. The first episode, entitled "Leon and the Mysterious Village," is now online. We see the hero of this installment asking the villagers if they have seen his dear Ashley. While everything is both cute and colorful, the ending is quite fatal for poor Leon.

Can't wait for the second episode!
