BBC News Resident Evil voice actors talk game’s anniversary ahead of Resident Evil Requiem launch | BBC News

Resident Evil turns 30 years old on March 22nd, three decades after the original survival‑horror classic arrived in 1996. To mark the anniversary – and the launch of Resident Evil Requiem (RE9) – Mel Ramsay speaks with two of the voices shaping the modern era of the franchise.

Nick Apostolides, the voice and motion-capture actor for Leon S. Kennedy in the Resident Evil franchise, (Resident Evil 2 remake, Resident Evil 4 remake, and the Netflix series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness), talks fandom, manifestation, motion capture, leaks, and what it means to carry one of gaming’s most iconic characters into a new generation.

Nicole Tompkins, who plays Jill Valentine in the Resident Evil 3 remake and Resident Evil: Death Island, reflects on legacy characters, fan stories, camp vs. grit, and why Jill remains such an inspirational figure for women in games.
