‘Umbrella Corps’ Trailer Returns to Raccoon City

Published

on

Capcom has added Raccoon City and its iconic police department to the growing list of destinations that Umbrella Corps plans to take us to when it releases next month. The two maps are joined by an underground Umbrella base, secluded European village, the shantytown of Kijuju, an abandoned Tricell facility and a secret Antarctic base, bringing the total number of maps we’ve seen to a respectable seven.

The Raccoon City map takes the action to the city streets for an experience that’ll probably feel more like Operation Raccoon City than Resident Evil 2. Players can choose to fight on the surface where there’s plenty of room, or in the labyrinthine series of sewer tunnels beneath the city. I hope you’re not claustrophobic or prone to infection. You got to protect those open wounds, people! No one wants to get poo in their GSW, trust me.

The other map is set in the Raccoon City Police Department, or RPD, and favors close quarters combat. On this map, cover is key. I also recommend keeping an eye out for any lickers hiding behind windows. Sneaky suckers…

We also have new details regarding the Upgrade Pack add-on that features a variety of character skins, weapons, patches, custom colors and emotes, all for $14.99. Longtime fans of the series might enjoy the character skins, which include familiar faces like Chris Redfield, Albert Wesker, Leon Kennedy, Barry Burton, Jake Muller and the HUNK.

Umbrella Corps releases a month from now, on June 21 for PC and PS4. As of today, the game can be pre-ordered from the PlayStation Store and Steam. Pre-order it and you’ll get the Fashion Victim Pack and its “flashy color options for armor and weapons” for free.

The base game, no frills, costs $29.99, while the Deluxe Edition — base game + Upgrade Pack — costs $39.99.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
