Updated: Umbrella Corps releasing June 21

As suspected, Umbrella Corps is delayed everywhere, but now we have a firm release date to share: June 21 is the day things get messy in the West.

Original: Umbrella Corps, the entry-level competitive shooter from the makers of Resident Evil, has been delayed in Japan according to a report by Famitsu ( here, if your Japanese is up to the task). Originally due May 12, Japanese players can now expect it June 23 as Capcom applies more polish.

The West never had a release date beyond 'May', but as it will be more than a month late in the mother land, I wouldn't be surprised to see our release window shoved well back too. More time to get our heads around the concept of a Resident Evil team shooter, I suppose. Tom was keen on the pace and ease of entry during his hands-on, but the to me the inclusion of zombie cannon-fodder felt more like a Resi reskin than a necessary mechanic.
