Capcom has released another trailer for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. Called the “Triple Impact” trailer, it shows the undead forces to come and the value of teamwork to keep yourself from becoming one of them!

This team-based shooter will have you rewrite the history of the Raccoon City outbreak. You will choose from six U.S.S characters, each with its own unique skill set and roles.

From the Press Release
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City delivers a true third-person team-based shooter experience set within the dark and sinister Resident Evil universe and a reinterpretation of the events depicted in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. The setting of the Resident Evil universe not only provides a rich backdrop to the action but delivers a unique and thrilling triple threat battle. Zombies and Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W’s) add to the mix as players not only compete against an opposing squad but also tackle this third unpredictable element, creating a brand new style of gameplay and breaking the conventions of traditional team based shooters.

It is September 1998, and the action centers once more on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak from the Umbrella facility. With a coverup required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any survivors. Hearing of this plan, the US Government dispatches its own special forces to uncover any evidence that exposes the cause of the viral infection and Umbrella’s actions. Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in four-player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City.

Choose from six characters, each one equipped with a unique skill set, including the female field scientist Four-Eyes, who can manipulate the T-virus and take control of the B.O.W’s raiding the streets of Raccoon City or the weapons expert and U.S.S team captain Lupo.

You can purchase Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City on March 20, 2012, for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and later in the year for the PC. There will also be a special edition version of the game that has tons of extras for only $69.99!
