Gamers of "Umbrella Corps" will also be able to face off against rival mercenaries, Ganados and Cerberus dogs. As for the other modes and maps of "Umbrella Corps," there is no news of it yet.

"Umbrella Corps" will probably be the opening act for the "Resident Evil 7" but that is unsure of since Capcom has kept mum about "Resident Evil 7." "Umbrella Corps" will be available for digital distribution this May in North America and Europe and will be available in Japan May 12.
