Capcom is teaming up with gaming drink manufacturer GameFlavor to release a unique series of drinks based on Resident Evil as a late celebration of the franchise's 25th anniversary. The iconic horror franchise has seen a major resurgence in recent years, bolstered by the popularity of Resident Evil 7 along with the well-received Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes. 2021 saw the release of the eighth main-series game Resident Evil Village along with the packed-in spinoff Resident Evil RE:Verse. Now, Capcom is bringing fans an exclusive drink based on the games.
Throughout the franchise's storied history, Resident Evil has frequently been featured in collaborations and promotions with a variety of products. The 25th anniversary celebration featured a major crossover with tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege, adding a new skin based on popular protagonist Leon Kennedy. The Resident Evil franchise has been adapted into multiple feature-length and animated films, as well as an eight-episode series with Netflix. Now, Resident Evil's newest collaboration will see the franchise receive its own line of drinks, inspired by the franchise's herbs and health sprays.
Resident Evil recently unveiled its newest collaboration with drink maker GameFlavor, bringing a series of herb drinks based on the franchise. The promotional set will feature 330 ml cans of cucumber and mint-lime-flavored drinks, with the cans modeled after the first-aid sprays. The box set will also include several other collectible goodies for Resident Evil fans, including ink ribbons with different herbs and a set of non-alcoholic drink recipe cards for Resident Evil-inspired drinks. The drink set also comes with one spray cap for turning a can into a replica first-aid spray.
Fans looking to pick up the Resident Evil drink set will need to act fast and be prepared to pay a significant sum. The drink set including the four drinks and all the side accessories is priced at $214 with a projected release date set for Q3 of 2023. The drink set is also being produced in limited quantities with only 4,750 box sets available for purchase. GameFlavor has confirmed that all of the drinks included with the set will be non-alcoholic.
With Resident Evil's 25th anniversary celebrations recently wrapping up, the franchise looks to have plenty in store for fans throughout the coming year. Capcom officially announced the upcoming Resident Evil 4 Remake last year, later revealing the fan-favorite fourth entry would be returning early in 2023. Both the remake and Resident Evil Village were confirmed to be receiving VR versions, with Village's VR version set to launch at the end of next month. 2023 looks to have plenty in store for Resident Evil fans with new ways to experience their favorite games.
