The writing's been on the wall for a
new flagship installment in Capcom's Resident Evil franchise for some
time now, and today, the publisher pulled the trigger on that
announcement. Resident Evil 6 will be available for the Xbox 360,
PlayStation 3, and PC on November 20.
Resident
Evil 6 will feature a split plotline, though bioterrorism remains the
motif. In the US, Leon S. Kennedy joins the president of the United
States 10 years after the events that defined Raccoon City, ostensibly
to offer the truth on what actually happened there. However, in the
midst of this revelation, bioterrorists attack, converting the president
into a lurching undead.
On
the other side of the world, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance
member Chris Redfield touches down in China, which is in the midst of
its own bioterrorism outbreak. Resident Evil 6 will be the first
installment in the franchise to feature both Redfield and Kennedy, and
Capcom noted that new characters will also be introduced in the game.
Development
on Resident Evil 6 is being led by Hiroyuki Kobayashi. The developer
has previously received producer credits for a number of Capcom's
titles, including Resident Evil 4, Killer7, and Dragon's Dogma.
Prior
to today's announcement, Capcom had posted to a countdown teaser site
for the game, NoHopeLeft.com. That site now directs to a YouTube page
featuring Resident Evil 6's first trailer, which can be found below.
