The Resident Evil/Biohazard video game series are popular in Japan and around the world that these have spawned movies, merchandising, and even airsoft guns as evidenced by those Biohazard airsoft pistol series made by Tokyo Marui. What's even more a testament to is cultural impact is the creation of the Biohazard The Stage, which is the stage adoption of the game and had its premiere last 22 October 15 at the Roppongi  Theatre in Tokyo, Japan. It was a limited, one week run as the last show took place last 1st of November.If you want to watch this, a DVD release of the play will be released in 2016. We're not sure if there will be English subtitles, but most likely that it will.

Biohazard The Stage is not the first stageplay related the Biohazard Series. According to the Resident Evil Wiki, Biohazard: Year One (Biohazard Zero-Nen), which was produced in 2000,  was a musical horror-comedy and taken from the zombified civilians' point of view.

Biohazard The Stage reveals the story between  “Biohazard/ Resident Evil 5” and “6” with the original game characters Chris Redfield, Piers Nivans and Rebecca Chambers as part of the story. Redfield and Nivans, who are part of the BSAA's anti-bioterrorism unit, were sent out to join Chambers of S.T.A.R.S. to investigate a bioterrorism incident in Australia. In the course of the investigation, they meet a mysterious young man named Tyler Howard and revealing the real reason behind the incident.

Mat Smith of Engadget was able to watch the show and finds it better than expected, writing, "In the end, it all came together truer to the games than the movie adaptations, but it's also much, much lower on the spectacle, explosions and death count. Biohazard still manages to wrap itself up in the most Resident Evil of ways: a rocket launcher confrontation with a heavily mutated monster. It's unfortunate that the finale involves projected-CGI, but then a live stage play has its limits. Biohazard: The Stage feels faithful to the series. And, despite my misgivings, I got to see a play based on a game that's about surviving a zombie infestation -- that's pretty special."

That's more than enough to make you interested in getting a DVD copy next year. But will they bring it to Broadway or the West End even if for just a limited run?
