In Umbrella Corps, you and your team will play as mercenaries sent to recover Umbrella's research and samples. But the places with this valuable data are infested with all manner of deadly creatures… Mercs takes on other mercs (and monsters) These corporations wage war against each other for the remnants of Umbrella's research. Powerful corporations still exist, though. In the president day, much of humanity has been wiped out by zombies and other genetically-engineered monstrosities. The Umbrella Corporation officially ceased to exist in 2003, and yet its legacy of bioterrorism lives on. In-universe, the evil pharmaceutical corporation known as Umbrella started the zombie plague thanks to its nefarious and illegal genetic research. Umbrella Corps features only minor single-player elements and won't include a single-player campaign, but still boasts a premise that fits right in with traditional Resident Evil storylines. Capcom hopes it will become an esports fixture, not unlike CounterStrike: Go. It's also the RE series' first and only competitive shooter to date. Although Resident Evil has been done as a shooter before in the Slant Six-developed Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, Umbrella Corps marks the first pure shooter developed by Capcom's own RE development team in Osaka, Japan.
