What has been widely speculated about in recent months and especially in recent days, Capcom has now officially announced: Resident Evil 6.
As a blend of action and survival horror, the new installment in the multi-million-selling franchise is already considered the most ambitious, thrilling, and extensive part of the entire series and promises to be the most dramatic horror gaming experience of the year.
Ten years have passed since the Raccoon City incident. The President of the United States resolves to expose the truth, believing that this will curb the current resurgence of bioterrorism. He was supposed to be assisted by the President's personal friend, Leon S. Kennedy. However, after a bioterrorist attack on the conference venue, Leon finds himself facing a President disfigured beyond recognition—he must make the most difficult decision of his life. At the same time, Chris Redfield, a member of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, arrives in the Republic of China and faces the threat of a bioterrorist attack. No nation seems safe from an attack and the subsequent outbreaks: the entire world is united by the common fear that all hope is lost.
In Resident Evil 6, series favorites Chris Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy join forces for the first time in the franchise to confront an unprecedented threat. They are joined by new characters, each with their own unique perspective and motivations, entangled in a relentless, dramatic horror experience that spans the globe.
"Resident Evil 6 represents a gigantic step forward in the evolution of the series," Katsuhiro Ichii, Head of R&D and Global Marketing, commented. "The development team, led by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, is working tirelessly to create the most impressive Resident Evil™ title of all time – both in terms of scope and product quality. We are incredibly excited and can't wait to share it with the world."
Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Executive Producer of Resident Evil 6, adds: “From the very beginning, the team’s intention was to create a player experience within an ongoing horror theme that offers both a compelling storyline and thrilling single-player and co-op action. We call this fusion ‘Dramatic Horror’ and are confident that existing fans and newcomers alike will be captivated.”
The game will be released on November 20, 2012.
