Capcom reveals two new playable masterminds and two new maps forResident Evil Resistance.Resident Evil Resistanceis theonline multiplayer modethat will be releasing with theResident Evil 3remake in April.
In a press release, Capcom confirmed that Alex Wesker and Ozwell Spencer will be some of the playable characters inResident Evil Resistance. Wesker, who was an antagonist inResident Evil Revelations 2, likes using traps and a carnivorous plant called Yateveo to stop survivors. Spencer likes to use technology such as the Disintegration Field which will deal damage to survivors who walk through it. Those are two very different gameplay styles but it sounds like players controllingsurvivors such as Martin Sandwichwill find it difficult to beat them.

The two new confirmed maps forResident Evil Resistanceare Casino and Abandoned Park. The Casino map is just a casino with none of the fun as it was quickly abandoned when zombies took over Raccoon City. Capcom says that there will be slot machines and chips all over the floor, but it hasn’t provided any more information about the map than that. The Abandoned Park is a horror-themed park, says Capcom, which suggests that survivors could find themselves being tricked by fake park horrors and real enemies created by the mastermind.
Capcom has confirmed thatResident Evil Resistancewill have multiple maps. Raccoon City has more than a few locations that would make for great maps inResident Evil Resistancesuch as the Raccoon Dam, Warren Stadium, and Raccoon Forest. No DLC plan for the multiplayer mode has been announced but Capcom could potentially turn these into maps and release them after it has launched.
It has also been confirmed thatResident Evil Resistanceisn’t canon, so fans playing the mode for hints at how Wesker and Spencer could affectResident Evil 8’s story are going to be disappointed. Their gameplay does seem to go well with their personalities, but fans shouldn’t need to read into it any more than that.
However, there are rumors that Capcom is developing another non-canonResident Evilgame and theleaked Netflix seriesis also likely to do its own thing. It’s unclear if Wesker or Spencer could star in the non-canon game or the Netflix TV series but fans will have some good fun fighting survivors as them inResident Evil Resistance.
Resident Evil 3will launch on July 24, 2025 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
