Umbrella Corps is a competitive multiplayer shooter that features zombies. As a result, these global corporations send mercenaries into several zombie infested sites to search for Umbrella's lost secrets. Several corporations feverishly desire possession of Umbrella's assorted remnants and secrets – most especially those involving their bio-weapons technologies, a search that inevitably brings them into direct conflict with other corporations which are also seeking the same things. Settings that resemble locations that have been destroyed such as the Spencer Mansion and Raccoon City are explained as being recreations for training purposes. The game lists 10 competing organizations using their own special forces to retrieve the old Umbrella Corporation's lost research: Suntech Samurai Co., Suntech Ninja Co., Medvedev, Sheng-Ya Pharmaceutical, Aeolus Edge East, Aeolus Edge West, Tenenti Inc., Saurian Corporation, Akembe Chemical, and Rashid-Sahir Industries. Although the Umbrella Corporation has been disbanded, a great deal of valuable viral Bio-organic Weapons (BOW) research information left over from their past evil endeavours is still waiting to be discovered.

The multiplayer portion takes place in 2016, three years after the events of Resident Evil 6 and 13 years after the collapse of the Umbrella Corporation in 2003/2004. The Experiment ends with 3A-7 overcoming all odds and surviving all of the missions, scaring his superiors. Once the testing is successful, his superiors try to kill him by sending him on more dangerous missions.

He is sent on missions by superiors in order to test out new equipment such as the Zombie Jammer. The organization he belongs to, the Umbrella Co., is revealed to have the full name of the "Umbrella Corporation" in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard a new organization using Umbrella's name. The single-player portion, "The Experiment", takes place in 20.
