Blending action and survival horror, Resident Evil™ 6 promises to be the dramatic horror experience of 2012. Resident Evil™ favourites Leon S. Kennedy,
Chris Redfield and Ada Wong are joined by new characters, including Jake Muller, to face a new horror, the highly virulent C-virus, as the narrative moves between
North America, the war-torn Eastern European state of Edonia and the Chinese city of Lanshiang.
Starting with three distinct, yet interwoven story threads, each with their own pair of protagonists for either solo or co-op play, both offline and online, not only will
Resident Evil 6 deliver both different perspectives and gameplay styles but, with the introduction of the innovative Crossover mechanic players will be able to team
up and share the horror. At key moments during the game, up to four players can join together online to tackle a specific situation, with some stages seeing the usual
partnerships swapped to further increase the depth of gameplay.
Once players have completed the initial three campaigns they will unlock an all new campaign featuring Resident Evil’s very own femme fatale, Ada Wong. A single
player experience, Ada’s campaign features unique missions, gameplay and weapons which will provide answers to the unanswered from the first three campaigns.
Launching alongside the game will be ResidentEvil.Net, a free webservice designed to enhance the Resident Evil 6 experience and bring together players from around
the world. View all your game statistics and those of your friends plus compete in events with the chance to win in-game prizes.
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.
• The most expansive Resident Evil game to date – Experience the horror through four distinct yet intertwined campaigns:
– Play as Leon S. Kennedy or Helena Harper to investigate and uncover the evidence that will lead them to the truth behind the bioterrorist outbreaks.
– Initially sent into Lanshiang to deal with an unprecedented bioterrorist attack, Chris Redfield and fellow BSAA member Piers Nivans soon realise that this is
more than an isolated incident and they must fight on all fronts to defeat this global threat.
– Jake Muller is a wanted man and together with Sherry Birkin the two must escape the clutches of those who realise just how valuable his special blood line is.
– A solo operative, Ada Wong will need to use all her guile to infiltrate locations as she gathers the necessary intel.
• Not only does each story cross paths, but so does the action – At significant points when the narrative draws pairs of characters together, the all new
Crossover mechanic allows up to four players to experience the horror together online.

• Solo or co-op – Resident Evil 6 delivers both single and two player co-op gameplay either offline or online (however Ada Wong’s campaign is one player only).
• A new challenge – Confront the results of the C-virus in all its varied and deadly forms.
– 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.
– The enemy creatures known as J’avo can mutate damaged body parts into a variety of different forms, meaning players will have to rethink their strategy and
adapt to this unpredictability.
– The C-virus has also given rise to the Chrysalide, which take the mutation process even further as they undergo a full metamorphosis; spawning a whole
