14 DAY TRIAL // Capcom is jumping into the multiplayer bandwagon with its new game called Project Resistance. A new project from the Japanese company was rumored to be revealed during the Tokyo Game Show, but we thought Capcom's next game will be a single-player experience.
Project Resistance is described as a new type of survival horror, which combines both cooperative and competitive elements. Set in the Resident Evil universe, Project Resistance is an asymmetric online five-person multiplayer game where four survivors must work together to escape an insidious experiment and outsmart the twisted mastermind behind the scenes.
The game is developed in partnership with NeoBards Entertainment, a relatively new team responsible for the release of Devil May Cry HD Collection and Onimusha Warlords. Project Resistance is built in the proprietary RE Engine, the same that was used by Capcom to develop games like Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5.
Project Resistance will play like Evolve and the upcoming Predator: Hunting Grounds. 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 can summon vicious creatures, set traps, manipulate the environment, and weaponize security cameras to create dangerous obstacles for the four Survivors.
Also, Mastermind players will be able to step into the trench coat of the towering, deadly Tyrant for the first time in franchise history. On the other hand, the Survivors must cooperatively work together as a team to outsmart the Mastermind and complete puzzle style mission objectives to escape the map before time runs out. To help with that, each Survivor will allow players to take advantage of unique skills.
Capcom announced that Xbox Inside Program members and RE Ambassadors will be eligible for a chance to participate in the Project Resistance closed beta on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The closed beta will run from October 4 through October 7, while registration is open until September 18 on the game's official website.
