Resident Evil Spiral

Resident Evil Spiral is a Japanese action-horror video game created by Capcom, releasing on June 13th, 2020.

Synopsis
In the year of 2020, Jake Muller is sent to extract military scientist, Emil Whitmore, from a shadowy cult in the town of Deacon, Massachusetts. The mission takes a turn when Jake learns the villagers among other things are transformed into unimaginable horrific monstrosities as he has to figure out what is going on.

Main/Playable

 * Jake Muller (voiced by Troy Baker) - the cold yet still caring and skilled son of the deceased Albert Wesker who operates as a mercenary as he is sent to Deacon to find and extract Emil Whitmore, learning more and more about the town and the monstrosities in the village.

Supporting

 * Julie Sampson (voiced by TBD) - a young orphan who is targeted by the Daedalus Organization due to her being one of Whitmore's experiments, the attempt to build someone immune to diseases, as Jake begins to bond with her, having to protect her alongside Dr. Whitmore.
 * Dr. Emil Whitmore (voiced by Matthew Porretta) - a reluctant scientist who was kidnapped by the Daedalus Organization, being forced to craft the Icarus Virus, creating the horrific monstrosities as he gets freed by Jake, fearing himself and what he has done.
 * Mr. Keys (voiced by TBD) - a flamboyant salesman who is anywhere and everywhere in Deacon as he sells Jake numerous weapons and tools while also willingly buying anything.

Antagonists

 * Xavier Wesker (voiced by Neil Newbon) - one of the experiments of the Wesker experiment who survived alongside Albert and Alex, having evaded death and helped form the Daedalus Organization, creating the Icarus virus as he wants to become a god. He ends up mutating himself into a terrifying monstrous heap of tentacles, eyes and mouths, being killed by Muller.
 * The Black Man (voiced by TBD) - a mysterious and terrifying cult leader who is loyal to Wesker as he has coal black skin and wears all black, soon heading after Muller. After his defeat, he mutates into a giant floating jellyfish-like monster.

Enemies

 * The Ascended - the main enemy type of the game who are villagers infected by the Icarus Virus, looking somewhat normal although when they gain enough damage, their skin starts to shed and becomes a terrifying slimy mass.
 * Berserkers - villagers mutated into terrifying hunched monsters with multiple eyes as they have gigantic claws and like to charge and scratch.
 * Hounds - deformed slime-like dogs, wolves and foxes who hunt everything which is alive in their forest.
 * Harpies - female creatures with bat-like wings and giant tentacle-like hands, being extremely feral.

Gameplay
The game plays as a third person shooter with a focus on action akin to Resident Evil 4 as you play through a chapter structure, exploring the town of Deacon and facing against the horrors. The game keeps some survival horror elements including healing items, a limited inventory space and save rooms. There is a merchant who appears in several safe areas as you can sell treasures you find as well as to buy new weapons as well as upgrade them.
