''Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City'' is an upcoming third-person, team-based shooter in development by Slant Six and Capcom as a spin-off of the ''ResidentEvil'' Franchise. ''Operation Raccoon City'' stars, in a change for the series, a squad of six of Umbrella Security operatives, who are tasked with advancing the corporation's goals. The game is set during the Raccoon City incident, the setting of such previous games such as ''ResidentEvil2'' and ''[[ResidentEvil3 3]]''. The Umbrella Troops will have more to do than simply fight zombies; they're additionally assigned to kill high-value targets, including the heroes of previous Resident Evil games, such as Leon Kennedy.

** In actuality, both trailers are true. Initially, they try to hunt down Leon because of orders to eliminate the police, however, after learning about his possible ties to Ada Wong, who had infiltrated Berkin's labs, Umbrella fears that Leon has access to highly incriminating information as well as the only sample of the G-Virus, making him a priority target for Delta Squad.

The Umbrella Troops will have more to do than simply fight zombies; they're additionally assigned to kill high-value targets, including the heroes of previous Resident Evil games, such as Leon Kennedy.
[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUsORzLKJFI Here is a teaser trailer for the game.]]
----
!!This game provides examples of:
* [[ActionizedSequel Actionized Spinoff]]: The teaser features the squad mowing down dozens of zombies with fully automatic weapons. It's stated that zombies are more of an environmental hazard than the real enemy, but can be used to the player's advantage (or harm), such as allowing zombies to finish off or distract wounded US Army specialists.
* AlternateContinuity: It's possible to kill off all those characters that survived Raccoon City. However, there is the choice to not kill these high-value targets like Leon and Claire, to keep the story intact. Choosing who to kill and who to spare will change the story in various ways. Wonder how Leon and Claire would have "survived" Raccoon City if they met the USS? Here's your chance.
* AlternateRealityGame: [[http://umbrellasciences.com/ Apparently one right here.]] [[http://insertedevil.com/ It leads to this site.]]
* ArtificialLimbs: Beltway's legs. He apparently owes something to Umbrella because of that.
* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: Of a sort. The game is set in 1998, but the US military personnel in Raccoon City are seen to be wearing the same sort of [[FunWithAcronyms PALS]]-based tactical webbing and body armour as the BSAA operatives from ResidentEvil5, over 11 years later in-universe, when the '''P'''ouch '''A'''ttachment '''L'''adder '''S'''ystem itself wasn't even introduced until 2001 (they still seem to be wearing M81 Woodland camouflage though).
* BlondesAreEvil: Bertha.
* TheBrute: Beltway is the largest member of the squad, and specializes in demolition (mines, grenades, et cetera). In the trailer, he can be glimpsed kicking a zombie then curb-stomping it.
* CleanupCrew: The team's job is to cover up Umbrella's actions in Raccoon by destroying evidence and killing witnesses.
* DarkActionGirl: Lupo, Four-Eyes, and Bertha.
* DarkChick: Bertha, the first female squad member to be revealed, has the non-combat role of a medic, and is dressed somewhat like a dominatrix. Four-Eyes is a field scientist, with the ability to temporarily turn BOWs friendly, and Lupo is the team's fiercely protective leader.
* EliteZombie: The [=BOWs=].
* EvilForeigner: Bertha is German, Lupo is French, Spectre is Russian, and Four Eyes has a Japanese surname.
* FacelessGoons: Both the USS and the US Army have their faces concealed.
* ForScience: Four-Eyes' background.
* [[HerrDoktor Frau Doktor]]: Bertha.
* GaidenGame: As the game will feature the player killing characters which survived Raccoon City in Canon.
* GasMaskMooks: As they take inspiration from [[EnsembleDarkhorse HUNK]], all but Lupo and Four-Eyes wear face-concealing gas-masks.
* InTheHood: Vector, the team's stealth expert.
* InvisibilityCloak: Vector has one of these, too.
* LackOfEmpathy: Four-Eyes' profile states she doesn't give a damn about anyone else - especially when it comes to scientific matters.
* MacheteMayhem: In the E3 trailer, Bertha attempts to kill an RPD officer with a machete.
* MadScientist: Four-Eyes and Bertha.
* MamaBear: Lupo is fiercely protective of her children, and [[PunchClockVillain works for Umbrella to support them.]]
* MeleeATrois: The game will apparently feature three-way battles between the Umbrella Security Service, US Special Forces, and the various [=BOWs=] in Raccoon.
* MultinationalTeam: Beltway is a Puerto Rican who served in the US Army, Spectre was a former Soviet spy, Lupo was a special forces soldier in France, and Bertha was an ex-German Soldier, Four Eyes is Japanese-American, and Vector is from Japan.
* MysteriousPast: While the bios for the rest of the team reveal a bit of info about their pre-Umbrella backgrounds, all that has been revealed about Vector is that he was trained by HUNK.
* NeverTrustATrailer: In the early trailers, it made the game look like half the point was tracking down Leon Kennedy and shooting him. In the E3 demo, which is apparently the first few minutes of the game, the mercenaries are pursuing Leon simply because he's wearing a police uniform, and not because of anything he specifically did.
* NightVisionGoggles: Spectre, the team's sniper, has a pair. They're apparently thermal as well and can do some nifty things.
* NostalgiaLevel:
** Essentially the entire game plays off of notstalgia for ''[[ResidentEvil2 2]]'' and ''[[ResidentEvil3 3]]'', with Mister X, Nemesis, Birkin, HUNK, Nicholai, Leon, and Claire all having a role in the game.
** A recent trailer revealed Heroes Mode, a team gameplay mode where the protagonists of ''2'' and ''3'' fight against HUNK, Nicholai, Ada, and Lone Wolf ([[RememberTheNewGuy who the trailers assure us is a legendary helicopter pilot]]).

* RetGone: The game replays events from the past and you can eliminate any or all of the characters, even Leon Kennedy, and it'll effectively change the ''ResidentEvil'' timeline and depict it.
* SelectiveHistoricalArmoury: While the M4 carbine that many of the Spec Ops are armed with was actually introduced in 1997, a year prior to the game's setting, the exact model used in-game, with its RIS barrel shroud, Aimpoint red dot sight and TAPCO shoulder stock, is somewhat anachronistic, to say the least.
* [[FiveBadBand Six Bad Band]]: At least five of the six playable characters seem to fit this: Lupo is the BigBad, Vector is TheDragon, Four-Eyes is TheEvilGenius, Beltway is TheBrute, and Bertha is TheDarkChick.
* SmurfettePrinciple:
** Averted, there is an even split between guys and girls in the Umbrella troops. Good to know that Umbrella are equal opportunity employers of psychotic mercenaries.
** The special forces unit in the Triple Impact trailer is also an aversion, with an even split between male and female characters.
* SpecialAttack: The six characters, Vector, Beltway, Bertha, Spectre, Four-Eyes, and Lupo will all have their own special abilities. For example, Beltway can lay mines, Four-Eyes turns [=BOWs=] temporarily friendly, while Vector can one-hit kill enemies while cloaked.
* TeamMom: Lupo is identified in her bio on the character selection menu as the team's leader. Her fiercely protective streak has led some of the other operatives to nickname her "Wolf Mother".
* VillainProtagonist:
** You play as a USS soldier and you all know what Umbrella has done and is capable of. Hell, you ''actively wreck'' the US Army's operations in the process and get to gun down our favorite heroes, heavily altering the timeline.
** However you may also be able to play as the US Army but Capcom is being tight lip about this.
* XMeetsY: ''{{Left 4 Dead}}'' meets ''RE4's The Mercenaries'' with a side of ''[=RE2=]'''s "Fourth Survivor".
* ZombieInfectee: Player characters can be infected with the T-Virus, though, unlike ''Outbreak'', it requires being bitten, it causes zombies to ignore you and makes you impervious to everything but headshots. However, unless you have a medic on the team (who can reverse the infection), you will turn into a full-blown zombie and attack your teammates.

* RetGone: The game replays events from the past and you can eliminate any or all of the characters, even Leon Kennedy, and it'll effectively change the ''ResidentEvil'' timeline and depict it.
* SelectiveHistoricalArmoury: While the M4 carbine that many of the Spec Ops are armed with was actually introduced in 1997, a year prior to the game's setting, the exact model used in-game, with its RIS barrel shroud, Aimpoint red dot sight and TAPCO shoulder stock, is somewhat anachronistic, to say the least.
* [[FiveBadBand Six Bad Band]]: At least five of the six playable characters seem to fit this: Lupo is the BigBad, Vector is TheDragon, Four-Eyes is TheEvilGenius, Beltway is TheBrute, and Bertha is TheDarkChick.
* SmurfettePrinciple:
** Averted, there is an even split between guys and girls in the Umbrella troops. Good to know that Umbrella are equal opportunity employers of psychotic mercenaries.
** The special forces unit in the Triple Impact trailer is also an aversion, with an even split between male and female characters.
* SpecialAttack: The six characters, Vector, Beltway, Bertha, Spectre, Four-Eyes, and Lupo will all have their own special abilities. For example, Beltway can lay mines, Four-Eyes turns [=BOWs=] temporarily friendly, while Vector can one-hit kill enemies while cloaked.
* TeamMom: Lupo is identified in her bio on the character selection menu as the team's leader. Her fiercely protective streak has led some of the other operatives to nickname her "Wolf Mother".
* VillainProtagonist:
** You play as a USS soldier and you all know what Umbrella has done and is capable of. Hell, you ''actively wreck'' the US Army's operations in the process and get to gun down our favorite heroes, heavily altering the timeline.
** However you may also be able to play as the US Army but Capcom is being tight lip about this.
* XMeetsY: ''{{Left 4 Dead}}'' meets ''RE4's The Mercenaries'' with a side of ''[=RE2=]'''s "Fourth Survivor".
* ZombieInfectee: Player characters can be infected with the T-Virus, though, unlike ''Outbreak'', it requires being bitten, it causes zombies to ignore you and makes you impervious to everything but headshots. However, unless you have a medic on the team (who can reverse the infection), you will turn into a full-blown zombie and attack your teammates.
