Outbreak: The New Nightmare

Outbreak: The New Nightmare is a new co-op survival horror game that is heavily inspired by PS1-PS2 era survival horror games like Resident Evil, featuring an RPG progression system, cinematic camera angles, and various game modes. If you’ve been waiting for Capcom to do something with the Resident Evil: Outbreak games, this might tide you over.

“Enter an unforgiving survival horror experience as you fight for your life against oppressive odds. The horrors of Arzt Memorial Hospital were just the beginning of the outbreak. As the infection spread across the city, local law enforcement fell quickly. You now find yourself trapped in a hellscape with only a few remaining survivors. Scavenge the environment for supplies, face off against the undead and do anything it takes to survive. You have only one life. Make it count!”
