G FUEL's Nemesis Tea Flavor was inspired by Resident Evil 3 and it is launching to coincide with the release of the highly anticipated video game on April 3rd. The flavor can be experienced in two ways, in the form of a multi-serve tub for mixing one's own drinks and 16-ounce ready-to-drink cans, which will be released later in the month. The Nemesis Tea Flavor combines the taste of lemonade and iced tea and comes in packaging that references elements of the Japanese horror franchise, including the Umbrella Corporation's notorious bioweapon, Nemesis.
To kick off the release of the new flavor, G FUEL will be capturing the attention of gamers by sharing Resident Evil 3 game codes provided by Capcom, along with exclusive merch.
