Capcom has announced that Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, the sequel to the highly successful Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, is in development for Wii and is set for release this winter.
“We are very excited to be bringing the sequel to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles to the Wii as it’s the perfect fit for the platform,” said Mona Hamilton, vice president, marketing, Capcom Entertainment. “We are always looking for new ways to give Capcom fans a chance to experience our games. Umbrella Chronicles was a huge success for us, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles includes a more in-depth co-op experience, and we are excited to bring this exclusive content to the Wii audience.”
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is based on events from Resident Evil 2 and includes the popular characters Leon S Kennedy and Claire Redfield. As in the last instalment, the game is an on-rails first-person shooting game with interactive pathways.
Players will be able to take on the zombies with the help of an AI-controlled character or get a helping hand from a friend in two-player co-op. The game also promises a new Evade system that will utilise the Wii Remote for a “more intense experience when fighting enemies”.
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is scheduled for release this winter only on Wii.
