Yesterday Capcom announced that Guile would be arriving in Street Fighter V as part of April’s update and today they have released a trailer showing off how the character will look in motion. As many would expect, Guile will have many of his old signature moves that now appear to go off at a faster pace and of course look flashier than before.

Around the half minute mark his various special abilities are shown off while his Critical Art, Sonic Hurricane, is used to finish off the video. It is also worth noting that Guile’s Theme has also been given something of a remix and is used during the fight.

You can check out the video below and can expect Guile to be released as a temporarily free character sometime later this month.

Umbrella Corps Antartic Base and Mutated Zombies Revealed

Today Capcom revealed a brand new map for Umbrella Corps that fans who played Resident Evil Code: Veronica may recognize as well as the Mutated Zombies that will be appearing in the upcoming Resident Evil themed shooter.

The Antarctic Base, set within the Umbrella research facility, was never repaired after the deadly T-virus incident witnessed in Resident Evil Code: Veronica. The base remains in its heavily destroyed state, featuring a vertically expansive play area covering three floors that allow players to endure a thrilling fast-paced round of hide and seek gameplay.

Also being added into the shooting mayhem are the special “Mutated Zombies” that can be found in the single player Experiment Mode’s Antarctic Base map and in the Multi-Mission Mode’s SP DNA Hunter ruleset. Featuring advanced states of mutation, there are many viruses spreading across the infected zones in Umbrella Corps and it’s unclear whether the T-virus or C-virus is responsible for these blood thirsty enemies
