Capcom has revealed a double-bill of horror for Wii later in 2007 with confirmation that a new version of Resident Evil 4 will heading for the platform, ahead of Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, which is set for release "at a later date".

Updated to include the additional content found in the PlayStation2 version of Resident Evil 4, the Wii Edition will also include functionality for the system's Wii-remote and nunchuk. The game is set to hit Wii during the summer.

The publisher has also revealed further details on Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, which was first announced in May 2006. Confirming reports that the game would be a first-person rail-based shooter with "interactive pathways", Umbrella Chronicles will unearth the fall of Umbrella, taking in a range of environments from Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, and 3 - such as the iconic Mansion, and the streets of Racoon City itself.

"Resident Evil has become one of the premier franchises in the games industry, with more than 30 million RE games sold around the world," said Jack Symon, Director of Product Marketing at Capcom Entertainment. "The innovative controller functionality of the Wii will allow us to design innovative, original game play never before seen in a Resident Evil game. With RE4, we're challenging the Wii hardware to meet Resident Evil, while in The Umbrella Chronicles, we're adapting Resident Evil to the innovations of the Wii."

Rumours of a Wii Edition of Resident Evil 4 had been emerging in recent weeks, including reports from Japanese publications and a listing for the game posted on a US retailer's website.
