Capcom's Confirmed Squad Shooter Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Is In Development At Slant Six.

It puts an end to a long period of speculation surrounding the game.

The game's essentially a squad based co-op shooter (as the rumours previously suggested) and is in development at SOCOM: Confrontation outfit Slant-Six. Your task is to eradicate any evidence of the events that unfolded in Resident Evil 2. An additional tid-bit emerging from the announcement confirms there will be competitive multiplayer in addition to the co-op. Here the US government will duke it out against Umbrella employees.

Looks like the big print magazines have more information, with PlayStation Official Magazine running a cover styory on the game. We're looking forward to hearing more from Capcom.
