As with this year's remake of Resident Evil 2, the third game in the series has been reimagined with an over-the-shoulder perspective, allowing you to scan all the details of the environment brought to life with the RE Engine.

You play as Jill Valentine, who arrives in Raccoon City a few days before Leon and Claire do in Resident Evil 2. She faces an even greater threat than the previous game's Tyrant, though, as the more intelligent bioweapon known as the Nemesis tries to hunt her down as she tackles the zombie outbreak plaguing the city.

Jill also has to deal with the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, or U.B.C.S., which is a private military force that started the outbreak. Fortunately, one of them called Carlos Oliveira is looking to help out survivors, and so he teams up with Jill.
Resident Evil 3 Remake First Screenshots
While a Resident Evil 3 remake isn't a surprise, the fact that it's actually the campaign portion of the previously announced 4v1 asymmetrical multiplayer take on the series, Project Resistance, wasn't expected.

Project Resistance has four survivors trying to outlast the tricks and traps of a fifth player, the Mastermind, who wins by killing the survivors off. For more details check out our Project Resistance preview.

Pre-orders for Resident Evil 3 start today and all of them come with a Classic Costume Pack for Jill and Carlos. You can get just the game itself in the Standard Edition, or exclusive to North America is the Collector's Edition which you can pre-order with GameStop.
