Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps is Capcom’s newest title.

Umbrella Corporation, a ruthless global pharmaceutical company, had been known for its genetic experiments and biological weaponry that led to worldwide devastation including the infamous Raccoon City incident.
No release date has been given either, but the game is expected to be launched in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and PC.
Umbrella Corps will be a multiplayer first-shooter team-based game.
Capcom also announced that Umbrella Corps will incorporate an “analog aim and cover system” that allows players to have better control whenever they fire from a cover position. Though these can be added threats, they can also be used to a player’s advantage if strategically used to hinder the other team. What better way to celebrate the series than a remake of the third game as well – bundling all three of the original games together, bundling in Resident Evil 0, and putting it out at retail as a Resident Evil Legacy collection. One such mode (which is playable this week at TGS!) is the One Life Match mode. Players will have an arsenal of weapons at their disposal, including a pretty nicely presented hook-blade for close combats to both maneuver around the map, or tackle zombies and opponents.
You really shouldn’t prejudge any game based on just an announcement and a short teaser, but it’s going to take Olympic levels of optimism to get excited about this new Resident Evil game.
