Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Confirmed For A Winter Release
Capcom has just made this official, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will be coming to the PC, PS3 and Xbox360 this Winter. As reported before the game will takes places in the same time period as Resident Evil 2 and 3, the player will taking the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier. The game will be a Third person squad based shooter which is a first for the Resident Evil series and has a lot of potential if done right in my opinion.
Check out the press release after the break:
It is September 1998 and the action centres once more on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak from the Umbrella facility. With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any survivors. 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.
Expect the return of original Resident Evil enemies, iconic landmarks such as the Raccoon City Police Department and fan favorite characters, including Leon S. Kennedy, who as a rookie police officer in Raccoon City is on your hit list to eliminate. Players will experience a retelling of classic moments from past titles Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 and watch the events unfolding from the menacing perspective of the Umbrella Security Service, giving fans the chance to rewrite the history of the Raccoon City outbreak.
