Umbrella Corps è un shooter multiplayer competitivo sviluppato da Capcom ed ambientato dopo gli eventi di Resident Evil 6:

“È alquanto ironico avere usato il titolo Umbrella Corps“, le parole di Kawata, uno degli sviluppatori del gioco. “Se conoscete la storia di Resident Evil, saprete che la Umbrella non esiste più, è stata distrutta.”

Capcom spiega che i giocatori controlleranno dei mercenari inviati in alcune aree dove si è scatenata un’epidemia o un incidente biologico per recuperare qualcosa di valore. Ad ingaggiarli varie aziende che non vedono l’ora di prendere il posto della storica Umbrella.

E' stato inoltre confermato che all’interno del gioco non sarà presente nessuna campagna principale che espanderà la storia della serie.

Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps arriverà su PC e PS4 a maggio 2016.


New Umbrella Corps Details and Release Timing

Today Capcom confirmed that Umbrella Corps will be released in May 2016 digitally for PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and PC. Various new game details about the third person shooter have also been revealed, providing an expanded look at the options that await trigger-happy fans. To download the brand new gameplay video and screens visit the press site now.

The multiplayer shooter will support 1-6 players and, though the majority of modes will be geared towards competitive team battles, a single player mode called "The Experiment" challenges players to hone their skills as they familiarize themselves with the world of Umbrella Corps in more than 20 missions with varying objectives. This coliseum style horde like mode strips players of the zombie jammer device that provides perilous protection in multiplayer modes, putting them in a head-on confrontation with progressively harder waves of creatures, across multiple missions.

Umbrella Corps will feature adrenaline-fueled matches in familiar locales from various Resident Evil games. In addition to the previously announced Umbrella Laboratory map, players will be able to experience areas inspired by Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. The famed Village from RE4 has been retooled for heated multiplayer matches that escalate to the rooftops, while the Tricell organization from RE5 has a newly imagined HQ to explore. Players must not only face off against the rival mercenary team, but also the stage-specific threats such as the crazed Ganados (RE4) and blood-thirsty Cerberus dogs (RE5). More information on additional maps and modes are still to come.
