Capcom on Tuesday announced Umbrella Corps, a new third-person competitive shooter sent in the Resident Evil universe.
Here's a synopsis of the game from the developer: "Umbrella Corporation, a ruthless international pharmaceutical company, had been known for its genetic experiments and biological weaponry that led to worldwide devastation including the infamous Raccoon City incident.
Although the organization was brought down in 2003, its legacy of bio-terrorism continued. In the present day, corporations with nebulous interests in bio-weaponry have hired squads of special forces for experimental battles in restricted virus-infected areas against other mercenaries."
The game will feature quick, intense team-based matches in a variety of online modes, including One Life Match, where you'll take out the other team or die trying. In this mode, every player gets one life per round to face not only the other team but classic Resident Evil enemies that roam the map as well.
At your disposal will be an array of gun and grenade weaponry, as well as some more offbeat gear like the Brainer, a "powerful melee axe which goes straight into the skull;" the Tactical Shield, an "arm-mounted guard" that lets you use a zombie as cover; Terrain Spikes, or "boot-mounted spikes for trampling the enemy;" and the Zombie Jammer, which can repel zombies.
"The game's analog aim and cover system, meanwhile, allows for precise control when using firearms behind cover," Capcom said, promising more info in the coming months.
In the meantime, you can check out the first trailer for Umbrella Corps below. The game will be available on PlayStation 4 and PC in North America and Europe in early 2016 for $29.99.
