Wii gets more Resident Evil – Umbrella Chronicles sequel, RE and RE 0 remakes

Leon and Claire team up once again in another retroactive adventure in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, the direct sequel to the Umbrella Chronicles. And while it wasn’t the Code Veronica announcement I was expecting, Capcom has also announced remakes of the original RE game and RE Zero.

Details after the link.

Leon and Claire team up once again in another retroactive adventure in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. The game will act as the direct sequel to Umbrella Chronicles and will be mostly set in Raccoon City. Like Umbrella Chronicles, the game will have on-rails gameplay with interactive pathways.

And while it wasn’t the Code Veronica announcement I was expecting, Capcom has also announced remakes of the original RE game and RE Zero. The RE Zero remake’s actually been released in Japan last year, with a US localization declined twice. The hype surrounding Resident Evil 5 probably changed Capcom’s mind.

No release date has been announced for any of these games, but the press release says they’ll be out this year.
