Capcom today released brand new gameplay details for the upcoming Umbrella Corps. Joining the previously announced One Life Match mode, the newly revealed Multi-Mission mode supports up to 6 players in a match where the first team to win 3 out of the 5 rounds will be the victor. As with One Life Match mode, the action is fast and intense with a 3 minute time limit for each round.
Multi-Mission mode, as the name implies, consists of rounds that cycle through 8 different rulesets at random. This allows the same team members to consecutively enjoy different gameplay experiences in a seamless way, and provides an expedited matching process for quickly getting into the game. With the random ruleset selection, all teams must stay on their toes to adapt their tactics each round in order to come out on top. An overview on each ruleset can be found below:
