Resident Evil 6, known in Japan as Biohazard 6 (バイオハザード6), is an upcoming dramatic horror third person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom and scheduled for release on November 20, 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and at a later date for Microsoft Windows.[2]

Storyline

The year is 2013 and US President Adam Benford has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place in the 1998 Raccoon City Destruction Incident in the belief that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity.[3] Due to be by the President’s side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy, but when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest decision ever. At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield arrives in the fictional city of Lanshiang (based on Hong Kong), itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack.[4] With no country safe from these attacks and the ensuing outbreaks, the entire world’s population is united by a common fear that there is no hope left.[5]

Development

An earlier rendition of the Resident Evil 6 logo was first leaked at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 22nd 2011 accompanied by the date "September 15th 2011", fueling speculation that the game would be formally announced at the Tokyo Game Show on that date. Despite the convincing rumors, there was no official unveiling of Resident Evil 6 at the 2011 Tokyo Game Show. A brief teaser held for private viewers was leaked, though Capcom, as part of their leak policy, refused to comment. An official trailer was released on January 19th, 2012,[6] establishing the content appearing in the TGS leak as real.

The development of the game is led by Hiroyuki Kobayashi who is stated by Capcom to be aiming to "deliver the most impressive Resident Evil title ever both in terms of scope and production values." Capcom also noted that the game is meant to be "a giant stride forward in the evolution of the series."[7] In the updated trailer featuring introductions from the producers and director, the game has a development staff of more than 600, making it Capcom's biggest production to date.[8]

Demo

A playable demo of Resident Evil 6 is currently scheduled for release on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace on September 5th 2012.[9] 60 days early access to the demo will also be included with the Xbox 360 version of Dragon's Dogma, granting owners access on July 3rd 2012.[10]

Notes

  1. ^ According to Capcom, "dramatic horror" is a horror-themed genre whereby more action-themed, fast-paced games are organized under, separating them from the traditional "survival horror" themes of ammo conservation.
