The new and radically different Resident Evil game Operation Raccoon City, which was reported on last week, is indeed real and will be coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC this winter.
Slant Six Games, the developer of SOCOM: Confrontation, is at work on the newest console RE game. Its story is officially described as a “reinterpretation” of what happened in Resident Evil 2 and 3, with players assuming the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier. Four-player co-op is supported, as is competitive online multiplayer.
In other Resident Evil news, the upcoming 3DS game Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D will include a demo of the forthcoming Resident Evil: Revelations (pictured above), an original game being designed for the 3DS. It’s set between Resident Evil 4 and 5 and (at least partially) takes place on a cruise ship. More on the game will be announced at this year’s E3 in June.
