Oh No!! Umbrella Corps was Delayed

Big news hit for Resident Evil fans today. Originally set to release This May, Umbrella Corps was just delayed last minute and is now rescheduled to be released June 21st. Sad, I know. The reason behind the delay was “so the team can spend some extra time optimizing the game.” Let’s hope that is the real reason, because I bet all of the RE fans want to get their RE fix as soon as possible. On the brighter side Capcom has given us a first look at the new “Customization” aspect of Umbrella Corps in the Video Below.
