‘Umbrella Corps’ Launch Trailer Shows Off Free DLC
Capcom finally pulled the pin on their competitive squad-based shooter Umbrella Corps today, before lobbing it in our general direction so they can watch us try to figure it out, because that’s how they get their kicks. What happens next is entirely up to us. Will we accept the Resident Evil spin-off they’ve lovingly crafted especially for us, or will we hot potato it back at them? We can figure that out later. For now, let’s have some fun with it — we can even take turns shooting mercenaries in the face while they’re distracted by the ghouls we sent their way.
The game’s launch trailer has the scoop on the free content we can look forward to in the coming months, including a new game mode called 4 Survivors, where players will battle for survival on more atmospheric variants of Umbrella Corps’ maps in “a free-for-all mode inspired by classic RE games where ammo, health, and decent lighting is in limited supply.”
The map based on Lanshiang, China, which you might remember from Resident Evil 6, looks alright. Personally, I’m far more eager to get back inside the ever-luxurious Spencer Mansion. Its ornate interiors won’t even see me coming as I spray and pray my way to victory.
Umbrella Corps is available as a digital release on PC and PS4 for $29.99.
That’s another zombie game we can cross of the list. Coming up next is the Minecraft-esque survival game 7 Days to Die, due later this summer for PS4 and Xbox One.
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.
