Capcom has unveiled the first batch of in-game screenshots for its upcoming Wii-exclusive entry in the Resident Evil franchise, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

For those unaware, Umbrella Chronicles is a new entry in the series, taking gamers back through past adventures in order to tie up the mysterious circumstances surrounding the demise of the notorious Umbrella Corporation.

For more details, see below for a handy product description recently issued by Capcom in a press release.

“Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is a brand new game in the Resident Evil franchise, with familiar locales from the entire series, created specifically for the unique characteristics of the Wii hardware. This action/shooter hybrid reveals the back story behind the fall of the Umbrella Corporation by exploring locations from Resident Evil 0, 1, 2 and 3 as well as new never-before-seen locations, such as Umbrella’s stronghold. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles combines first-person, light-gun style combat with interactive pathways, multiple weapons and new enemies to create an entirely new Resident Evil experience that could only be delivered on the Wii console. “

Umbrella Chronicles is currently scheduled for release some time later this year, possibly around October. More details are expected this week at Capcom Gamers Day.
