See Resident Evil Shooter Spinoff’s Brutal "Brainer Axe" and New Map in Action

Capcom has released a new gameplay video for Resident Evil spinoff shooter Umbrella Corps that focuses on the multiplayer map Antarctic Base, as well as some of the game’s devastating melee attacks.

The Antarctic Base may look somewhat familiar to Resident Evil fans, as it’s inspired by the frozen base from Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Capcom explained in a blog post. As you can see, the map has three levels, as well as a vent system to travel through as a means to cross the map (hopefully) unnoticed.

The video also spotlights the Talonhawk melee weapon, which is a variation of the “Brainer” axe. As its name suggests, this is a close-quarters weapon you can use to stab your enemy in the brain. Also on display is the Wolfsbane pistol, as well as some unique weapon colors and designs made using the game’s customization tools.

Additionally, this video shows off the game’s “Mutated Zombies,” which will appear when playing the Multi-Mission Mode on the SP DNA Hunter rule set. The only way to win here is to defeat all of the mega-zombies, which can deal and absorb heavy damage, making them difficult to take down.

Umbrella Corp launches on June 21 for PC and PlayStation 4, priced at $30. The game was originally scheduled to come out in May, but was delayed to give developers extra time to “optimize” for launch. An Xbox One version of the game has not been announced.
