New Resident Evil 6 Details
During the Resident Evil Anniversary Premier Party in Japan yesterday, Capcom revealed additional details about the recently announced Resident Evil 6. Executive producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi and director Eiichiro Sasaki took the stage and made some additional announcements about the game.
As reported by Andriasang, the Capcom developers say Resident Evil 6 has been in development in secrecy for a number of years and has the largest team working on the game in the series' history. The staff currently sits at about 150 people, but if you include contributing parties, the total could reach as high as 600.
This is your mystery man.
Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield will star as the main protagonists, but Capcom says there's an additional main character, an unnamed male who's described as "the man who's told to save the world."
The new Javo enemy type.
Kobayashi also confirmed zombies are returning for the sixth game, and noted that there are "many secrets" still surrounding them. A new enemy was also revealed, the Javo.
He also said that the game is being made to be the "ultimate horror entertainment" and highlighted two key concepts" "The fear the lies ahead" and "everything is overwhelming."
The game's story between Chris and Leon will progress simultaneously. Leon's story is set in America while Chris' is in a city in China.
