Capcom’s next Resident Evil spin-off: Project Resistance will not be an online-only cooperative game. We can play offline for a few hours, too.

„The version we showed at the 2019 Tokyo Game Show was an online game mode, but we are fully aware that there many are Resident Evil fans that expect the story in the game. At the 2019 Tokyo Game Show, you only experience Daniel as Mastermind, but there are many variations of the Mastermind. The same goes for the survivors and there are more survivors with unique skills and looks that we are planning to add into the game,” Masachika Kawata, the producer of Project Resistance, wrote on the PlayStation Blog ().

This asymmetric online five-person multiplayer game combines both cooperative and competitive dynamics, with the opportunity for players to create their own survival horror experience. Four Survivors must work together to escape an insidious experiment and outsmart the twisted Mastermind behind the scenes. Capcom is developing Project Resistance in partnership with NeoBards Entertainment, utilizing the proprietary RE Engine […].

In each four-versus-one match, one Mastermind player tracks the four Survivors through a network of security cameras, staying one step ahead at every turn to prevent their escape. The Mastermind plots a deadly course by wielding a strategic deck of cards to create dangerous obstacles for the Survivors, such as summoning vicious creatures, setting traps, manipulating the environment, and weaponizing security cameras. He or she can also directly control zombies in play. Also, Mastermind players can even step into the trench coat of the towering, deadly Tyrant for the first time in franchise history. In turn, the Survivors must cooperatively work together as a team to fend off the Mastermind’s attacks and complete puzzle style mission objectives to escape the map before time runs out. Each Survivor possesses unique skills to help their team overcome the Mastermind’s challenges and survive the sinister experiment,” Capcom’s press release wrote when the game was announced. So, the game will probably allow us to play offline and choose the survivors ourselves. Kawata also revealed that if a Mastermind uses a Tyrant, he will not be as powerful as without using one.

Project Resistance is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It has no release date yet. It will get a closed beta between October 4 and 7 on PS4 and X1. You can sign up here, and we previously wrote about the requirements to join.
