‘Umbrella Corps’ Delayed to June 21
In a feat of good judgment witnessed earlier today, Capcom quietly delayed their squad-based shooter Umbrella Corps to June 21 so the “team can spend some extra time optimizing the game to bring you the best experience possible.” This is great news for the Resident Evil spin-off, which has struggled to look like a worthwhile experiment for a series that’s spent the better part of a decade developing a serious identity crisis. An extra month of polish couldn’t hurt.
In the meantime, we have our first look at the game’s surprisingly deep character customization system that’ll have everything you need to outfit your mercenary with the goofy emotes that’ll carry your team to a bloody victory. I’m considering the classic jeggings/sweater vest combo for my merc — what about you?
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
