Fans got just a quick glimpse of Nemesis swathed in a wall of fire when Resident Evil 3 was announced in December, and today, Capcom has surprised us with a new trailer that shows just how truly devastating he can be.
In the trailer, Umbrella Corp.’s unrelenting bioweapon hunts Jill with an arsenal of heavy duty weapons, including an enormous flame thrower and a laser-guided rocket launcher that leave little hope for escape. In addition to its hardware, a new screenshot depicts Nemesis’ elongated tentacle mutation that strikes with lethal accuracy.
The new cinematic trailer also reveals more of the action-packed drama in the game, featuring closer looks at additional key characters. Jill’s unofficial partner Carlos Oliveira (depending on who you ask), the rest of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.) platoon, the Hunter enemy, and of course, the game’s unstoppable Nemesis.
When Resident Evil 3 is released this April, players can also participate in previously untold Umbrella experiments on the outskirts of Raccoon City in the included online asymmetrical multiplayer game Resident Evil Resistance. The horrific settings from the original game and new content come to life as never before with RE Engine, previously utilized to create the acclaimed Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5 with high-definition graphics and modernized gameplay mechanics.
The reimagined Resident Evil 3 will be unleashed for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on April 3rd, 2020.
