20 years ago, Capcom altered the landscape of the survival horror genre forever with the release of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Starring franchise favorite Jill Valentine, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis featured her harrowing escape from Raccoon City during the panic-stricken hours leading up to and following the events of the acclaimed Resident Evil 2. Today, Capcom celebrated the anniversary of this seminal survival horror masterpiece by announcing Resident Evil 3, slated for release on April 3, 2020 on Xbox One.

Once again utilizing the RE Engine that brought last year’s Resident Evil 2 remake to life, Resident Evil 3 combines intense combat and puzzle solving to thrust players into the pulse-pounding final chapter of Raccoon City’s collapse. The city itself comes to life as never before thanks to the RE Engine, which provides players with both high-definition visuals and modernized gameplay mechanics. The remake also marks the first appearance of Nemesis, a hulking bioweapon that will stop at nothing to get to Jill as she attempts to get away from the T-virus that’s plaguing Raccoon City.

In addition to the single-player campaign, players can also dive into previously untold Umbrella experiments on the outskirts of Raccoon City thanks to the addition of the online asymmetrical multiplayer game Resident Evil Resistance. A 4 vs. 1 multiplayer experience, Resistance lets players assume the role of a Mastermind, who can manipulate the environment and place vicious creatures, set traps and weaponized security cameras to snare hapless Survivors. The four Survivors, on the other hand, must effectively work together to stand a chance of escaping the experiment before time runs out.
