Why Umbrella Corps Won't Launch

Umbrella Corporation's latest attempt at entering the survival horror genre with their first-person shooter, Umbrella Corps, is facing an uncertain future. Despite initial hype and promises from Capcom to release a full-fledged title based on this IP, it appears that fans will have to wait longer or possibly even forever.

The reason behind this disappointing turn of events lies within the game's core mechanics and design choices made by developer Kitchatcharoen Studio. Umbrella Corps promised an intense experience where players would assume control of their favorite Resident Evil characters such as Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, or even Wesker himself to navigate through abandoned military bases while taking down hordes of infected in competitive modes.

However, upon release, many critics and fans alike were left underwhelmed by what they found. The game's clunky controls combined with poor AI decision-making made for a frustrating experience that quickly became tiresome after just an hour or two into playthroughs. This lackluster reception was further compounded when Capcom announced plans to indefinitely suspend all forms of support for the title, effectively leaving it as-is without any hope of receiving meaningful updates.

In light of this news, one can only wonder why Umbipal Corp decided to invest so much resources into a project that seemed destined for failure from day one. Perhaps they misread consumer interest or simply miscalculated how gamers would react to their take on the survival horror genre? Whatever reason may be behind it all now seems secondary given that we'll never get another chance at experiencing what could've been had Umbrella Corps turned out differently.

As a fan myself who was initially hyped up about this title's potential release, I'm left feeling disappointed but not entirely surprised by Capcom's decision to pull the plug on everything related to it. At least now there won't be any false hope being held onto regarding seeing anything new from these characters or IP anytime soon again.

In conclusion, while Umbrella Corps may have started off with promise and excitement among fans of Resident Evil lore enthusiasts everywhere - ultimately ending up as another failed experiment by Capcom in trying something different within their beloved franchise.
