First announced for a november release, Resident Evil 6 will now hit stores on October 2nd (PC version later). Take a look at the new trailer inside to learn what's going on in the game's story plus new screenshots.
Resident Evil 6 features three distinct, yet interwoven story threads, each with their own pair of protagonists for either solo or co-op play, both offline and online. Leon S. Kennedy is paired with US government agent Helena Harper, while Chris Redfield teams up with fellow BSAA member Piers Nivans. Finally, gun for hire and son of the infamous Albert Wesker, Jake Muller, is joined by Sherry Birkin, the daughter of former key Umbrella scientists, William and Annette. All six must face a new horror - the highly virulent C-virus that has been unleashed on an unsuspecting and unprepared world, creating new and deadly transformations.
FEATURES
• Horror on a global scale – No longer confined to a specific location, the outbreak of the C-virus is worldwide with the action taking place in North America, Eastern Europe and China
• Multiple characters and intertwined storylines – Experience the horror playing as Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and Jake Muller with their respective partners
• Solo or co-op – Resident Evil 6 delivers both single and co-op gameplay either offline or online
• A new challenge – Confront the results of the C-virus in all its varied and deadly forms
o Zombies make a return to the Resident Evil series, but can now run, jump at players and even use weapons, making them far more challenging than in previous games
o The enemy creatures known as J’avo first came to prominence in the conflict zone of Eastern Europe and have the ability to regenerate when injured; furthermore, if J’avo take substantial damage to a particular area, they can mutate the affected body part into a variety of different forms, meaning players will have to rethink their strategy and adapt to this unpredictability
o The C-virus has also given rise to the Chrysalide, which take the mutation process even further as they can undergo a full metamorphosis; spawning a whole host of horrific creatures
• Mercenaries returns – Players will once more be able to enjoy the highly popular Mercenaries Mode
• Redesigned control system – Resident Evil 6 features an evolved control system allowing players to shoot while moving; slide; roll in any direction and to take cover, along with the addition of an enhanced melee attack
• Demo coming with Dragon’s Dogma – Purchasers of Dragon’s Dogma, scheduled for release on May 22 in North America and May 25 across Europe, will receive a token allowing them to download the Resident Evil 6 demo, from July 3 for Xbox 360 owners and September 4 for PS3
• Localized voice over – Resident Evil 6 will include fully localized voice over in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian as well as subtitles in Japanese, Russian, Polish, Brazilian and Portuguese

Definitely excited to get this game.
PS. I see Chris got a slight change of hairstyle, he doesnt have the TinTin pointy in the front, I like it hehe
I don't expect much tbh :/
And Sherry from RE2 is in the game. As well as Ada Wong.
And it seems we're going to get a Chris vs. Leon moment as well. Interesting..
Horror/survival for Dead Space (sci fi ftw lol)
The trailer looks nice. Yes, well directed (for an action cheese fest that is) and the visuals are fantastic, but, where is the suspense? Where's the creepy horror vibe? This is supposed to be a horror, right? I get none of that watching this trailer. Go back and look at the very first RE 4 teaser and compare it with this. See the difference? RE is dead. I won't be buying this one.
What the fuck happened to you Capcom? you used to be beautiful.
My have times changed. Such a terrible waste.
For people wanting horror, it's not the same director as Mikami. Much like Silent Hill, why do people think it'll go back to its old ways? Those guys are gone. That's why I rented RE 5, and now I won't bother with RE 6 because it'll just end up being a blip in a week with people bitching for days about the botched storyline of so many characters, stupid bosses, and not enough Leon sections.
At least it's not Jun Takeuchi...ehh.

The decision to be more action-oriented is Capcom and Capcom's alone. It wasn't some sort of mandate or lobbying from "America".
