Resident Evil 3 was today confirmed by Capcom as part of the PlayStation State of Play event that ran overnight. The remade sequel will be available across Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 from 3 April 2020.
Like Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2 before it, Resident Evil 3 has been made inside Capcom’s new RE Engine.
“Resident Evil 3 is set amidst the nightmarish outbreak of the T-virus, a biological weapon developed by the pharmaceutical company Umbrella Corporation. The game marks the debut of Nemesis – a towering humanoid bioweapon designed for both brutality and high-functioning intelligence – whose dogged hunt of S.T.A.R.S. member Jill Valentine made him an icon of the Resident Evil series,” Capcom said of the title. “Armed with an arsenal of high-powered weaponry and wrapped in a black suit to hide his mutilated features, Nemesis will maim, pulverize or destroy any obstacle on the path to his target.”
Resident Evil 3 will also feature Project Resistance, now Resident Evil Resistance, as a multiplayer mode. You can learn more about the 4v1 asymmetric mode here.
