As previously revealed, Operation Raccoon City is a collaboration between Capcom and Vancouver-based studio Slant 6 Games and is scheduled for release this Winter.
Set in September 1998 during the original T-virus outbreak, ORC is described as "a true third person team based shooter experience" set within the "dark and sinister" universe of Resident Evil 2 and 3.
"With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any survivors," Capcom's official blurb explains. "Hearing of this plan, the US Government dispatches its own special forces to uncover any evidence that exposes the cause of the viral infection and Umbrella's actions."
Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in four player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City.
Capcom promises a "thrilling triple threat battle", with zombies and Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W's) added to the mix as players not only compete against an opposing squad but also tackle this third unpredictable element.
Fans can expect the return of original Resident Evil enemies, iconic landmarks such as the Raccoon City Police Department and fan favourite characters, including Leon S. Kennedy, who as a rookie police officer in Raccoon City is on your hit list to eliminate, says Capcom.
In addition, a number of competitive online multiplayer modes are planned. "Each one of these will provide a unique gaming experience thanks to the three way combat between the Umbrella Security Service, US Special Ops and threat of zombies and B.O.W's that could only exist in the deadly and twisted Resident Evil Universe," says Capcom.
