Resident Evil Umbrella Corps PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Who remembers Umbrella Corps? The bizarre PlayStation 4 and PC exclusive was announced during Sony's packed Tokyo Game Show press conference last year, but has been lying doggo ever since. Fortunately, publisher Capcom has decided to feed the project a green herb today, announcing that the tactical shooter will deploy in May across Europe and North America.

The unusual Resident Evil-themed shooter will support six players, and will see you battling it out against enemy marines amid undead-infested arenas. Maps will include one based upon the iconic village location from Resident Evil 4, as well as the headquarters of the Tricell Organisation made famous in Resident Evil 5.

For those of you not so keen on competitive multiplayer, there'll be a single player mode named 'The Experiment' where you must dismantle dozens of dead corpses. Y'know what? It doesn't look that bad. The problem is that it has the production values of a mildly competent free-to-play indie FPS, which is not what we've come to expect from the Resident Evil franchise, is it?
