A new take on Resident Evil with Project Resistance
At the Tokyo Game Show 2019, Capcom officially took the wraps off Project Resistance, which is still called that for now. This asymmetric online five-person multiplayer game combines both cooperative and competitive dynamics, with the opportunity for players to create their own survival horror experience.
In each 4v1 match, one Mastermind player tracks the four Survivors through a network of security cameras, staying one step ahead at every turn to prevent their escape. The Mastermind plots a deadly course by wielding a strategic deck of cards to create dangerous obstacles for the Survivors, such as summoning vicious creatures, setting traps, manipulating the environment, and weaponizing security cameras. He or she can also directly control zombies in play.
In addition, Mastermind players can even step into the trench coat of the towering, deadly Tyrant for the first time in franchise history. In turn, the Survivors must cooperatively work together as a team to fend off the Mastermind’s attacks and complete puzzle style mission objectives to escape the map before time runs out. Each Survivor possesses unique skills to help their team overcome the Mastermind’s challenges and survive the sinister experiment.
The game is coming to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but there is no release date yet, just sometime next year. In the meantime however, a beta is going to run in early October, from the 4th til the 7th and those who want to test it out on consoles, can sign up here for the chance to do so.
