Resident Evil: Resistance

Project Resistance is a Resident Evil title currently being developed by Capcom, a closed beta is set to be taking place in October. It has been described by the studio as a "team based survival horror experience".

Plot
The game is set during the 1998 Raccoon City Destruction Incident. A group of four civilian survivors were captured by Umbrella to be experimented on, and now they must escape the B.O.W. testing lab, while being put at risk by a Mastermind using the facility's security measures against them.

Gameplay
From what is known so far, the game will be a team-based cooperative game with as many as four players taking part in a session.

Players can either take the role of the Survivors or the Mastermind. As the survivors, they must work together in order to escape the Umbrella facility while facing onslaughts of creatures and traps. When a survivor takes too much damage, they get in a downed stated, a team mate can still revive them. If they don't get any help, the player will respawn, but a chunk of time will be lost.

Each survivor has their own set of skills and a label that defines them as "Damage", "Hacker", "Support" and "Tank".

As the Mastermind, the player must watch the survivors via Security Cameras and prevent them from escaping, impeding their progress by locking mechanical doors, placing traps, or summoning creatures and even controlling them.

Weapons consist of not just firearms but melee weapons typical of a city environment like 2x4s and baseball bats. Known enemies in the game include Zombies, Lickers and a T-103 Tyrant.
