The game is set to be a competitive shooter, with all the horror elements from the Resident Evil series, mixed into a cocktail of team based operations that strikingly resembles Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. The debuted trailer showcases agents obliterating zombies, in what looks to be underground tunnels.

There was no mention of specific game features, or if it would cameo the two Alpha Team members Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine.

Masachika Kawata, Resident Evil Series Producer, was sparse with the information, and didn’t muster to cough up any further details about the release date, other than it being still in development and aimed for a 2016 release.
