This new game for the Nintendo Wii alongside the redevelopment of Resident Evil 4 has gamers excited, today further details were revealed.

Hexus gaming has the scoop on Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.  Still no street date yet but the game will feature familiar Resident Evil locals with a back story focusing on the Umbrella Corporation.

Other details include;
*Using the Wii Remote as a gun, players can experience breathtaking combat against a horde of zombies and various creatures in dynamic first-person perspective.
* 480p and 16:9 Widescreen support.
* Certain weapons can destroy environments and items. Shoot objects and watch them splinter, explode and disintegrate.
* Interactive paths - choose various routes and pathways through the game, allowing for multiple levels of replay ability
* Multiple weapons, including pistols, submachine guns, rocket launchers, the trusty knife, grenades and many more.
* Classic locations from previous Resident Evil games in full 3D, including the mansion from the original and RE 0, and elements of Raccoon City from RE2 and 3.
* Umbrella's stronghold, a new location, holds many secrets to events throughout the RE series
* Returning characters from many RE games, including Billy Coen, Rebecca Chambers, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira.

Screen shots show rather gritty dark indoor locations, which is to be expected for this horror survival release.  We are especially awaiting the use of the Wii-mote in a light gun style shooter.
