Capcom reveals new title set in Resident Evil universe.

Capcom has revealed Biohazard: Umbrella Corps, a competitive shooter set in the Resident Evil universe. The game was shown off at Sony's PlayStation press conference in TGS, where Capcom said it will celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Resident Evil series this year with remakes of previous titles, as well as this new shooter.

Although details on the game were not specifically provided, the gameplay video showed firefights from first-person and third-person perspectives, as well as some cover mechanics. In addition to a variety of guns, more unusual weapons such as a hook-blade were used by some of the characters. Various character classes were also shown indicating that team work will probably be a key element in the shooter. Biohazard: Umbrella Corps is expected to be released in 2016 for PlayStation 4. However, a release outside of Japan has not yet been discussed or confirmed.

Capcom trademarked Resident Evi: Umbrella Corps in Europe and Japan. The last game to bear the "Umbrella" moniker was Wii lightgun title Resident: Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, which was also released for PlayStation 3 following a period of exclusivity on Nintendo's console.
