New Resident Evil Project Teased by Capcom for Tokyo Game Show

Reddit user 5eye-samurai has discovered images from the Project Resistance trailer thanks to a YouTube Thumbnail grabber tool, which they used on the livestream URL. The images show a group of four people in civilian clothing, which may potentially point to a four-player co-op game, perhaps akin to Resident Evil Outbreak. Clearer images were subsequently posted by Twitter user Nibel.

Capcom is teasing a new Resident Evil project, which it will reveal at Tokyo Game Show this September.

The tease comes in the form of a website titled Project Resistance. The R and E in the title are shown in red among other white letters, making it fairly clear that the game is a Resident Evil title.

The website explains that the teaser trailer for the new project will be shown on September 9 at 3:00PM UTC (8am PT, 4pm UK, 1am AEST), and suggests people stay tuned for future updates.

Project Resistance will then be shown at Capcom’s booth at Tokyo Games Show, in which gameplay is promised. The game will be on stage on September 12, 13, 14, and 15.

The website also includes logos for PS4, Xbox One, and Steam, suggesting that the game is in development for current generation hardware.

Quite what Project Resistance will turn out to be is difficult to guess; Resident Evil 8 or Resident Evil 3 Remake are easy ideas, but the series is known for its many spin-offs and side projects.
