New images have emerged for the upcoming new Resident Evil title in the long running zombie franchise from Capcom. The new screenshots showcase a few new characters as well as an unlikely ability: using zombies as shields.

Resident Evil Raccoon City is a squad-based shooter, which I believe is a first in the world of third-person zombie games. It’s a little shocking given how long 3D zombie shooters have been around, but I guess you can only look to Capcom to innovate in a genre they perfected.

The new screenshots showcase the military and Umbrella’s Spectres, Hunters and Special Ops guys doing what they do best while facing off against some ghastly monstrosities. The game sounds like it will be pretty darn cool and you can check out the new screenshots below or visit the Official Website to learn more.
