Resident Evil 3 remake announced

Capcom has announced a new Resident Evil 3, coming in 2020.

Following this year's remake of Resident Evil 2, the new game once again utilizes Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine to complete the Raccoon City story arc. Resident Evil 3 stars Jill Valentine as she escapes from a crumbling Raccoon City while being pursued by the unrelenting bioweapon Nemesis.

Players can also participate in Resident Evil Resistance, an asymmetrical 4 vs. 1 multiplayer game. As the Mastermind behind the scenes, players can assume the role of key Resident Evil characters like Annette Birkin in a series of deadly experiments. Manipulate the environment and wield a deck of cards to place vicious creatures, set traps and weaponized security cameras to snare hapless Survivors. In turn, four Survivors must work together, making the most of a variety of weapons and each player’s unique special abilities, to escape before time runs out.

North American console players will also be able to purchase a Resident Evil 3 Collector’s Edition. This package contains a physical copy of Resident Evil 3, a Jill Valentine figure, printed artbook, a Raccoon City map wall poster and a digital Resident Evil 3 soundtrack. Those who pre-order will also receive the exclusive Classic Costume Pack that features the original design for Jill Valentine and hairstyle for Carlos Oliveira.

Resident Evil 3 will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on April 3, 2020.
