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
