An E3 trailer has appeared on YouTube, sort of setting the scene for the upcoming Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City - but really just showing a pretty cinematic sequence with the inevitable zombies at the end. The story:

It is September 1998 and the action centers once more on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak from the Umbrella facility. With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any survivors. Hearing of this plan, the US Government dispatches its own special forces to uncover any evidence that exposes the cause of the viral infection and Umbrella’s actions. Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in four player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City.

More details will be available once E3 kicks off but in the meantime you can check out our game page for screenshots and watch the trailer below or click here for HD.
