Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles producer on online features and gameplay

Capcom‘s Wii exclusive Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles producer Masachika Kawata was recently interviewed by GamePro where he spoke about the title’s gameplay as well as the possibility of online features in both this video game and future releases.

Kawata said that Umbrella Chronicles has multiple features that fans of the series will enjoy, like being able to go through the different areas from previous Resident Evil video games. He elaborated on this saying that players will be treated to a general outline of the entire series as well as details on what happened to the Umbrella Corporation. He also gave word that they will be revealing more information on the characters from previous games including the mysterious Wesker.

With regards to online play, Kawata pointed out that it is an interesting concept and one that they would like to explore both in this game and future releases. Don’t get your hopes up though because Capcom’s PR team has stated that it is not a currently planned feature for the game and is just one of the ideas the producer would like to pursue.

If you’re planning to pick up this game, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is slated to be out in the U.S. by November 13 this year. It will be followed by a Japanese release on November 15, an Australian launch on November 30, with Europe getting the game on December 13.
