Resident Evil 6 has racked a lot of attention since its debut trailer few weeks ago. Capcom has kept details to a minimum since then but today they were gracious enough to clarify a few things about the upcoming survival horror.
Resident Evil 6 will take place in 2013, so get ready for zombie invasion next year.
Key characters include Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Helena Harper (who we saw on the trailer), and a mysterious protagonist (who we also saw on the trailer).
Chris Redfield will be going to the fictitious city in China named, Lanshiang.
Zombies are back and more powerful than ever. Zombies can now run, lunge, and carry their own weapons.
Redesigned control system: Resident Evil 6 features an evolved control system allowing players to shoot whilst moving; slide; roll in any direction and to take cover along with the addition of an enhanced melee attack.
The main antagonist this time seems to be a monster by the name of J’avo, here’s what Capcom had to say about him:
“Named by the BSAA after the Serbian word for ‘demon’, the first J’avo made an appearance in the conflict zone of Eastern Europe about six months before the action of Resident Evil 6. The J’avo still exhibit certain human elements – such as the ability to understand speech, work together as a group and use weapons – but they are also
incredibly aggressive and a number of their actions have regressed to pure instinct.
When a J’avo takes damage it has the ability to regenerate itself. However if it is receives major damage then it will mutate that affected body part into a number of varied forms, meaning players will have to rethink their strategy and adapt to this unpredictability.”
Resident Evil 6 is scheduled to be released on November 20th for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC (at a later date). Check out the debut trailers, screenshots and more at our official Resident Evil 6 Game Page.
