Is multiplayer part of the main campaign?
No, it is treated as a completely separate production. As a result, it is independent of the main single-player campaign. You can complete the entire campaign in the single-player mode without playing RE Resistance at all.
Will Resistance mode be available at launch?
Yes, it will be available at launch of Resident Evil 3 Remake, that is, April 3rd, 2020. You can play this mode for free, although console versions require a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscription. It is also possible that this mode will have some microtransactions.
How does the gameplay in Resistance mode look like?
Resident Evil Resistance offers asymmetric multiplayer. This solution is similar to games like Dead by Daylight, Friday the 13th, or Predator Hunting Grounds - one person plays against a group of other participants of the same online session.
There are two main sides of the conflict in RE Resistance:
- Heroes - Players (1-4) take control of the heroes whose task is to get out of the Umbrella Corporation labs and other places occupied by monsters. Each character has unique abilities, such as hacking. Players must work together to get to the specified evacuation point within the specified time limit. Death and respawn of any of the players reduce the time limit and make the task more difficult to complete.
- Mastermind - One player becomes an observer who uses the monitoring system to track other characters. Mastermind must do everything they can to prevent the heroes from reaching the evacuation point. This player can use, for example, tools for "summoning" monsters, disabling light sources, locking doors, arming local defense systems, or setting traps. In addition, from time to time, it is possible to take control of one of the Tyrants and personally hunt players.
