While the next mainline Resident Evil release is looking to be another remake (this time of Resident Evil 3), it’s not the only new Resident Evil in town. And we’re being literal this time around as the spin-off once dubbed Project Resistance is getting a pretty predictable name change.

The gamstat website, that pulls in when new updates are added to PSN, caught what seemed to be some earlier covers for the survival horror franchise. That’s how we got to see the covers for the upcoming Resident Evil 3 remake, but we also got Project Resistance and it seems it’s getting a name change to Resident Evil Resistance.

It’s a pretty predictable name change and all, but there it is. There was speculation at one point that the game was in some way connected to the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 3, but even if there is at the very least it seems they will be separate releases. The game will release sometime for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Project Resistance is the lastest spinoff from the Resident Evil franchise. A closed beta is running now for the game, which is a 4v1 multiplayer focused game where a group must battle the continued meddling of a mastermind who controls the monsters they face. And there’s some familiar music that maybe hints at things to come.

As you can see via Twitter below, players for the beta have discovered that the save room music from Resident Evil 3 pops up. It doesn’t always happen, but when it does it’s pretty distinct, if brief.

What does it mean? Well, it could just be an interesting easter egg, but it could also be more. Considering how successful the remake of Resident Evil 2 was, it seems logical a remake of 3 is coming soon (and there’s been rumors of it for a good while). Some people have also put on their tinfoil hat, thinking Project Resistance is actually a secret multiplayer mode that will be attached to that remake. Only time will tell.

Project Resistance is slated to come out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. For a full match, you can go through here to check out how the game plays.

Capcom’s Project Resistance is the new, asymmetrical multiplayer horror title set in the Resident Evil universe. It pits four survivors against a Mastermind, the latter using zombies and traps to ultimately take down our heroes. Closed beta registration is currently available but how does a typical match play out?

To showcase the same, Capcom has released a video showcasing a full match. Each survivor has their own unique abilities and talents to turn the tides in their favour. Relying on teammates is still required for getting out of traps or when caught by zombies. But as per the developer, Project Resistance can still be played offline in a single-player format.

Project Resistance is coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC. The closed beta starts on October 4^th and ends on October 7^th for consoles. Stay tuned for more details but in the meantime, check out producer Matt Walker’s comments on how Project Resistance is still inherently “survival horror at its core.”

With the success of Resident Evil 2, the acclaimed remake of the PlayStation title, many are waiting in the wings for the remake of the very unappreciated sequel, Resident Evil 3. That’s why many were sideswiped when Project Resistance was announced. But Capcom insists the game is still very much survival horror, and the series has a history of oddball spin offs. The game will see a 4v1 system of four survivors against one Mastermind who is throwing monsters at them, but it won’t just be a multiplayer affair.

Speaking to the PlayStation Blog, Producer Masachika Kawata talked about the game’s structure. While the focus is obviously on the 4v1 aspect, there will be an offline single player game, and it will be “narrative” focused.

“The version we showed at TGS 2019 was an online game mode, but we are fully aware that there many are Resident Evil fans that expect the story in the game. In an effort to satisfy our fans, we will have an offline mode that is focused on the narrative component.”

Resident Evil is a series that’s had a lot of spin offs with some hits and some fairly big misses. Hopefully, Project Resistance will land in the hits section. As of now there’s no release date slated, but signs up are now for a closed beta on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A PC version has also been announced but no beta for that version at this time.

Resident Evil 7 put the series firmly back on track, and the Resident Evil 2 remake is probably the best game in the franchise, and after those two incredible outings, series fans have been hoping that Capcom would want to keep that momentum going. Be that with a remake of Resident Evil 3, or with Resident Evil 8, but there is a widespread belief that the series needs to keep doing what it’s doing.

The recently unveiled Project Resistance is not what many were hoping for. The spinoff if a 4v1 multiplayer title, and there are many series fans who’ve voiced their displeasure with the fact that Capcom is looking to experiment with the series. However, Matt Walker, who’s a producer at Capcom, firmly believes that providing new gameplay experiences is how they will keep things fresh and interesting.

Taking to Twitter, Walker said that while he understands fans of the series wanting to see a mainline release rather than an experimental spinoff, he believes Capcom needs to “continue to branch out and try to offer up new gameplay in addition to refining the experiences people expect from us”, and that if they never do anything different from the norm, people will start losing interest in the property.

Walker also gives assurances that though Project Resistance is an untraditional Resident Evil game, it’s still “a great survival horror experience” and says that those who play the upcoming closed beta will hopefully be able to see that despite its experimentations, it’s still “very surely survival horror at its core”.

It’s too early to say just yet whether or not this will be a successful experiment for Capcom- the closed beta should be our first real indication of the game’s quality. But to write the game off so early for not being a mainline instalment would be unfair. The way I see it, it’s not like this spells the direction the franchise will take with future games, we’ll still get core, mainline experiences, and if Capcom wants to experiment with some stuff between those tentpole release, well, more power to them.

Been seeing a lot of people who are not pleased with the idea that we’re making Project Resistance. It’s totally valid that people want more of that quality core experience offered in RE2 and RE7. My take- we as a company need to continue to branch out and try to offer up new

Important part? That it’s a great survival horror experience, if non-traditional. I think we confuse things when we make things related to IP that don’t actually stay true to the core spirit of the IP, but this project happily doesn’t fall into that trap. I can’t wait till the

We’re also earnestly trying to get feedback from people who have played it so we can actually make it better, which I feel is fairly rare from a publisher of our size. Based on that feedback, it could grow from a project to a fantastic game.

Capcom has finally revealed gameplay and details for its asymmetrical multiplayer title Project Resistance, a spin-off of the Resident Evil series. It sees four Survivors working together to escape while another player, the Mastermind, tries to stop them. Developed by NeoBards Entertainment, it’s coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Each Survivor has their own set of skills and there are different puzzles to solve en route to escaping. The Mastermind can watch the Survivors via security cameras, set deadly traps, possess zombies to directly attack and much more. It’s even possible to control Mr. X aka the Tyrant for the first time in the series to wreak havoc.

Sign-ups are currently available for the closed beta test, which is coming to PS4 and Xbox One. The beta period starts on October 4th at 12 AM and ends on October 7th at the same time. There’s no release date yet but expect more gameplay to emerge from the Tokyo Game Show floor over the next few days.

After images for the trailer initially leaked, Capcom has finally released its full teaser for Project Resistance. Actual gameplay footage isn’t showcased and more details are coming at Tokyo Game Show later this week. However, the teaser does provide a look at the team-based nature of the Resident Evil spin-off.

Four players team up together as ordinary survivors armed with whatever they can find. Much like Left4Dead, there seems to be a director of sorts that sends in threats. One of those turns out to be Mr. X with the director capable of assuming control.

Project Resistance is in development for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. It’s an intriguing concept but time will tell how it pans out, especially considering the fate of Capcom’s other team-based efforts like Resident Evil Outbreak and Umbrella Corps. Stay tuned for more details later this week – Tokyo Game Show takes place from September 12th to 15th.

Capcom have been asking their Resident Evil ambassadors to test out a new game in the series in both Japan and in the US, and recently, they teased that game, currently being called Project Resistance. That game is going to be officially unveiled in September, and will also be playable at the Tokyo Game show shortly after its announcement.

Before that announcement though, it seems some information can be gleaned about what sort of project we’re looking at, thanks to a bunch of leaked images via a a YouTube thumbnail preview site for the game’s announcement trailer (via Reddit). Those who’re expecting an announcement for either Resident Evil 8 or Resident Evil 3 Remake will probably be disappointed. The images, which you can check out below, show four separate characters- and it looks like it might be some sort of a four player multiplayer experience. Perhaps a Resident Evil Outbreak sequel? It’s possible.

Either way, we’ll find out soon enough, so stay tuned to GamingBolt, and we’ll keep you updated on any and all new info that comes our way.

We only just got Resident Evil 2 in January of this year, but it seems the next chapter in the survival horror franchise is already on its way. Reports of a new game have been doing the rounds of late, with Capcom asking Resident Evil ambassadors to test an unannounced game in both, Japan and the US. And now, Capcom themselves have also confirmed the existence of that game officially.

The Japanese publisher has sent out a tweet teasing a new game called Project Resistance (one would assume that’s a tentative name). A full reveal for the title will be coming on September 9 at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET / September 10 at 00:00 JST. The game will also be part of Capcom’s lineup for the Tokyo Game Show next month, where it’ll be displayed and also be playable for the attending public from September 12 to 15.

A teaser website for the game has also gone live, and it confirms that the game will be launching for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Speculation for Resident Evil 8 and Resident Evil 3 Remake has been a dime a dozen over the last few months, which is understandable, given the reception and impressive success of Resident Evil 2 (and Resident Evil 7 before that). It’s unlikely that an announcement for either of those two will be coming so soon- we should find out soon enough either way. Stay tuned to GamingBolt, and we’ll keep you updated.
