Capcom announced earlier this week that a new Resident Evil title is in the works. The new title in the franchise, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, is currently in development for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. It's slated to hit retailers this winter. Capcom has followed up the announcement with a teaser trailer (below) of the game.
It is September 1998 and the action centers 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.
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is set to be released winter 2011 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
