Capcom Unity has word that Umbrella Corps is now available for Windows and
PlayStation 4, offering a shooter spinoff of the Resident Evil series. They
celebrate the news with a
launch trailer. The announcement covers DLC plans as well as the release.
Here's word:
Today you can join the Umbrella Corps and face off against
enemy mercenaries online in dangerous battlefields teeming with undead
monstrosities. The 3 vs. 3 competitive third-person shooter set in the Resident
Evil universe is available for digital download on PlayStation 4 and PC for just
$29.99.
Umbrella Corps has a variety of maps drawing from different locales in the
Resident Evil universe. The Resident Evil 4-themed map recreates the
unforgettable Village, complete with dangerous Ganados armed with farm tools.
The Raccoon City map allows players to fight it out on and below the streets as
zombies wander everywhere.
Speaking of maps based on the RE series, today’s launch trailer includes a peek
at free DLC offerings that will be available to players in the coming months.
One map reopens the doors to the infamous Spencer Mansion, hosting intense
firefights in its ornate interior. Another free map transports RE fans back to
the infected and chaotic streets of Lanshiang, China, from Resident Evil 6.
Rounding out the free DLC offerings is 4 Survivors mode – a free-for-all mode
inspired by classic RE games where ammo, health, and decent lighting is in
limited supply. Players battle one another to survive the longest in these dimly
lit, more atmospheric versions of the maps in Umbrella Corps.
