At the Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia (SCEJA) Press Conference 2015 in Tokyo, Capcom announced Umbrella Corps, a new third person shooter set in the Resident Evil universe.
Umbrella Corps will feature high-intensity team-based matches where players can compete online in a variety of unique close quarter battle modes. In the One Life Match mode, players must achieve their main objective to take down the other team without any option to re-spawn. One life per round is all a player gets as they must not only face the enemy team but also contend with classic Resident Evil enemies such as zombies that populate each map. Though these can be added threats, they can also be used to a player’s advantage if strategically used to hinder the other team. The game will also feature an analog aim and cover system, allowing for more precise control when firing from cover.
The competitive online game will feature quick, intense matches in compact battle zones themed from historic Resident Evil environments. The game is powered by Unity engine. It will be available digitally for an MSRP of $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 on PlayStation 4 and PC across North America and Europe in early 2016.
