Umbrella Corps

Overview

Umbrella Corps is a 2016 tactical shooter game developed and published by Capcom. Released for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4, it is a spin-off of the Resident Evil series and was released worldwide in June 2016. The game received negative reviews from critics.

Umbrella Corps is a competitive multiplayer shooter that features zombies. Players play as a mercenary from two different corporations, and they are tasked to co-operate with their fellow mercenaries to eliminate all the hostile players. Players can choose to play from a first-person perspective, or a third-person perspective.

Umbrella Corps, a paramilitary unit became active in infiltrating quarantined zones, taking advantage of the BSAA's inability to sterilize all sites of bio-terror attacks. Settings that resemble locations that have been destroyed such as Spencer Mansion and Raccoon City are explained as being recreations for training purposes.

The game was developed by Capcom's Osaka studio, which is Capcom's headquarters. The team aimed to create a game with concentrated fast-paced combat and multiplayer experience offered by current eSports in the market. Instead of a large open environment, the maps featured in the game are usually small and dense. The game drew influences from western-style shooters for Windows. The name of the Asian version, "Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps", was trademarked by Capcom on July 29, 2015, and was revealed at the Sony Computer Entertainment's press conference at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show one and a half month later.

Reception to the game was generally negative. On its reveal, critics compared the game to the Call of Duty franchise and Capcom's own Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, which itself had a mixed reception. Andy Chalk from PC Gamer thought that the game strayed too far from the franchise and thought that it was a pointless addition to the series. Nicholas Tan from GameRevolution thought that Umbrella Corps was a standard and generic first-person shooter with a Resident Evil skin on it. Steven Burns from VideoGamer.com criticized the small size of the maps (which he considered “generally quite boring") and the field of view.
