Started as a rumor last week, the Resident Evil 3 remake has been officially revealed during PlayStation's State of Play 20-minute event. The completely reimagined Resident Evil 3 utilizes the developer's proprietary RE Engine to complete the Raccoon City story arc.

In Resident Evil 3, Jill Valentine escapes from Raccoon City while being pursued by Nemesis. What's interesting about the remake is that Capcom has included Project Resistance, which is a multiplayer mode that's been revealed several weeks ago.

The Japanese developer now calls it Project Resistance, but it's the same online asymmetrical multiplayer mode in which players can participate in previously untold Umbrella experiments on the outskirts of Raccoon City.

Resident Evil 3 Remake marks the debut of Nemesis, the humanoid bioweapon designed to hunt S.T.A.R.S. member Jill Valentine. 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.

Capcom announced that the settings from the original game and new content come to life as never before with RE Engine, previously utilized to create the acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5 with high-definition graphics and modernized gameplay mechanics.

Resident Evil Resistance pits 4 players who can assume the role of key Resident Evil characters against another one who plays as Mastermind. The latter can directly control elite bioweapons like G-Birkin and Tyrant. In turn, four Survivors must effectively work together, making the most of a variety of weapons and each player’s unique special abilities, to stand a chance of escaping the experiment before time runs out.

According to Capcom, Resident Evil 3 Remake will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam on April 3, 2020. Also, those who pre-order the game will receive the exclusive Classic Costume Pack that features the original design for Jill Valentine and hairstyle for Carlos Oliveira.
