Umbrella Corps, a new multiplayer third-person team shooter set in the Resident Evil universe, will launch for PS4 via PSN in 2016, Capcom announced this morning during Sony’s TGS 2015 press conference.

The competitive online game promises quick, intense matches in compact battle zones themed on historic Resident Evil environments.

In the One Life Deathmatch mode, one life per round is all the player gets as they must not only face the enemy team but also contend with classic Resident Evil enemies. Players will be equipped with gun and grenade-based weaponry as well as specialized gear such as the Brainer (a powerful melee axe which goes straight into the skull), Tactical Shield (an arm-mounted guard allowing players to utilise a zombie as cover), Terrain Spikes (boot-mounted spikes for trampling the enemy), and Zombie Jammer (a device which repels zombies only when active).

Umbrella Corps will launch digitally early in 2016 for PS4 and PC priced £24.99.
