There are currently less than 100 simultaneous Umbrella Corps players on Steam, despite the game releasing less than a week ago, reports githyp<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The game, which is based on Capcom’s beloved Resident Evil franchise, released on PS4, Xbox One and Steam on 21 June , achieving a meager 419 peak player count<\/strong> since then.<\/p>\n

These dismal numbers appear to be a result of\u00a0a combination of poor marketing and review scores, with the game currently not having earned a Metacritic <\/a><\/strong>score, as not enough outlets have reviewed it.<\/p>\n

Fortunately Capcom’s Resident Evil 7 reveal <\/a><\/strong>at this year’s E3 looks to be bringing the franchise back to its horror roots, so we have faith that the new game will sell slightly better than Umbrella Corps.<\/p>\n
