So it seems all the whispering we've been hearing about a Resident Evil multiplayer are indeed true. Game developers Slant Six who brought you numerous SOCOM titles are currently developing Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. Details are still scarce yet it is known that you will be returning to the settings of earlier Resident Evil games (yes the title was a big giveaway with that one), in this team based game you'll be introduced to four new members of the Umbrella Corps Security Squad: Vector, Beltway, Bertha, and Spectre.
As members of UCSS you'll be going up against two other factions: US Spec Ops and Umbrella Bio weapons while you make your way through the city burning evidence and "assisting" survivors. And just to clarify when i say assisting, what i actually mean is luring them into a false sense of security and ventilating them Tarantino style. Umbrella is famous for keeping secrets afterall, a zombie outbreak appears to be just another day at the office.
At such an early stage of development rumors of release dates are already floating around, some say 2012, others for this Autumn but judging from how long it actually takes to create and release games these days i wouldn't tell you to expect to see it on the shelves any earlier than 2013.
Keep your eyes on this space for future updates.
