[Video] ‘Resident Evil’ Spin-off ‘Project Resistance’ Revealed and it’s a Team-Based Survival Horror
After teasing us mercilessly last week with news of a fresh Resident Evil game reveal (made worse/more exciting by the leaked screens), Capcom has now properly unveiled the game, and it does very much look like, as previously rumored, a multiplayer title that sees four players against one.
Project Resistance seems to show a team of players cooperating in an attempt to escape not only the hellish surroundings, but the threat of T-virus enemies, deployed and controlled by another player. The reveal trailer gives us the first glimpse at the RE Engine-powered spin-off, and suggests you’ll be able to take control of Mr.X. The antagonist player is a tad shadowy in the trailer, but could it be none other than Albert Wesker?
While Capcom’s record with multiplayer Resi hasn’t been all that good, this definitely shows some promise, and given there was much to be learned from the success of Monster Hunter World, it’d be difficult to believe the company didn’t take that on board when creating another big name co-op title.
Project Resistance will be out on for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, but has no set release date
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply saddened to learn that George A. Romero Foundation Founder and President Suzanne Desrocher-Romero has passed away.
GARF shared in a statement on socials, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Suzanne Desrocher Romero. Suzanne passed away of natural causes on June 24 at her home in Toronto after a prolonged illness.”
The statement continues, “Suzanne was the fierce leader of the George A. Romero Estate and The George A. Romero Foundation. She worked tirelessly to preserve George’s legacy. Her work at the foundation will continue to inspire and live on for generations to come. The family asks for privacy at this time.”
Desrocher-Romero founded GARF in 2018, after her late husband’s passing in 2017, and has been a fierce advocate for his legacy and the arts. It was her mission to “strengthen horror as a serious field of global study,” and she was a tremendous fighter on behalf of Romero’s works and supporting new filmmakers inspired by his legacy.
It was Desrocher-Romero who spearheaded the recovery and restoration of The Amusement Park, and, as the person in charge of the George A. Romero estate, worked closely with author Daniel Kraus on completing unfinished novels like Pay the Piper and The Living Dead. She most recently celebrated the restoration of her favorite of Romero’s zombie films, Day of the Dead, and was hard at work producing the upcoming film Twilight of the Dead.
That passionate advocacy led to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero becoming family to Bloody Disgusting as well.
2023 marked the start of an ongoing partnership between Bloody FM and GARF on The Dead, a scripted audio series spanning multiple seasons that saw Desrocher-Romero working closely with the Bloody FM team and mentoring the series’s contributing writers with GARF. To say her loss will be felt internally is an understatement.
“Anytime George Romero is mentioned is good, because what we are doing is to provide a healthy legacy. We’re uplifting his legacy, we’re supporting the archive, and we’re also supporting the Horror Study Center. So, all of these three things are what the Foundation is striving to do. As far as I’m concerned, the more we say George Romero’s name, the better it is,” Desrocher-Romero recently told BD.
It’s the perfect encapsulation of her unwavering enthusiasm for supporting Romero’s legacy and the horror genre, and just a glimpse at how much she contributed to preserving it. She is, in short, an inspiration.
We send our deepest condolences to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero’s family, friends, and GARF.
