Resident Evil 5 is a distant memory and there\'s no sign of Resident Evil 6 on the horizon, so Capcom is taking its iconic survival horror franchise in an entirely new direction. Not only will you take a trip to the past, you\'ll also be able to change the course of history. With Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, you not only take control of Umbrella Corporation operatives, but you can actually battle with the iconic hero Leon Kennedy – and kill him.

What is Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City?
Capcom\'s producers are describing Operation Raccoon City as a "new direction" for the Resident Evil franchise, moving the series back to its darker, more twisted roots. What\'s notable about this attempt is that the series is shifting to squad-oriented gameplay. You take the role of one of four Umbrella operatives, each with a particular area of expertise (medic, stealth, surveillance and heavy assault). Your team, which can be controlled by other players in co-op mode, must then not only attempt to protect Umbrella\'s interests from the meddlesome authorities, but fend off zombies, Hunters and other creatures.

Story matters a great deal in the Resident Evil universe, and here\'s yet another area where Operation Raccoon City deviates from the norm. The game revisits one of the most iconic eras of the franchise, taking place entirely during Resident Evils 2 and 3, and specifically focusing on events in Raccoon City itself. While we\'ve seen prequels (Resident Evil Zero) before, this time around players can actually change the storylines of previous games, even killing some of the series\' biggest icons like Leon Kennedy. That immediately places Raccoon City in a bit of an "alternate timeline" territory, though the game\'s producer told us new details about the Resident Evil world would be revealed.

What\'s important to note about all of this is that the game is still very early in development. At Capcom\'s event we had a brief demonstration of the single-player concept, and only hands-on time with the multiplayer component. Capcom was careful to stress that much was being tweaked and developed...
