Resident Evil: Deadly Silence will be landing on American shores during the first quarter of 2006!

A remake of the original Resident Evil, Deadly Silence features both Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine as playable characters, along with the familiar mansion filled with zombies and terrifying monsters.

The top screen shows the map while the touch screen allows you to slash at enemies with a knife and shake off enemies who've grabbed hold of you. The biggest addition however is the multiplayer - which we can now confirm contains a Vs. mode for up to four players, as well as a cooperative mode where players can work together to get out of the mansion.

A first quarter release date in America means a European release shouldn't be too far off. We'll keep you posted.
