Singapore/Espoo, Finland – Nokia and Capcom have announced the release of Resident Evil
Degeneration on N-Gage later this year. With gameplay optimised for N-Gage, including two separate
play modes, plus multiple mission types, Resident Evil Degeneration is a cutting edge title that
illustrates the unique capabilities of the N-Gage platform.
The game, partly based on the upcoming full length CG motion picture of the same name in Japan,
focuses on the release of a deadly virus by a terrorist at a US airport and follows series’ favourites Leon
Kennedy and Claire Redfield, as they attempt to destroy the virus and prevent it from being dispersed
across the country. Resident Evil Degeneration is the first full length CG motion picture from the
Resident Evil series, widely considered to be the benchmark of the survival horror video game genre.
“We’re thrilled to bring another major franchise to our N-Gage platform,” said Gregg Sauter, Director of
Third Party Publishing, Nokia. “For many years, Capcom has been entertaining people around the
world with exceptional gaming experiences and we’re delighted that they have decided to release
one of their most popular franchises on N-Gage. Resident Evil Degeneration will serve as an exciting
new chapter for fans of the series and deliver a unique gaming experience they will not be able to
achieve anywhere else.”
“The release of Resident Evil Degeneration illustrates our dedication to N-Gage,” said Takeshi Tezuka,
general manager of Capcom’s Mobile Division. “We believe that the platform is an excellent home for
some of our most famous franchises and our dedication to quality and creative thinking has seen us
create a unique game with stunning visuals and in depth game play, never before seen on the
mobile.”
