Capcom officially announced the 6th installment in the Resident Evil franchise will be release in the last quarter of 2012.
Katsuhiko Ichii, Head of R&D and Global Marketing commented saying:
“Resident Evil 6 represents a giant stride forward in the evolution of the series.
“The development team, led by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, is working tirelessly to deliver the most impressive Resident Evil® title ever both in terms of scope and production values. We are all genuinely excited by the title and cannot wait to share it with the world.”
Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Resident Evil 6 Executive Producer added: “From the outset the team’s intention was to create an experience that delivers a gripping storyline, tense single-player and co-op action all set against a constant theme of horror. We are calling this fusion dramatic horror and are confident it will resonate with both existing fans of the series as well as newcomers.” g
The survival horror, this time set in China, will see some familiar faces from previous installments starring for the first time alongside each other.
Set 10 years after the original Raccoon City incident, the main theme of the game seems to be bio-terrorist activity.
The game is due for release on November 20 on Xbox 360 and PS3, with a PC version to follow.
