 Resident Evil 6 Release Date Announced; Pre-Order Bonuses Revealed

Imagine this is a surprise party that you found out about early. Be polite and pretend you're super-surprised: Capcom has just confirmed that Resident Evil 6 is on the way! The official announcement of RE 6 contains some confirmed details about what we can expect when the game hits November 20, including the suggestion that the president of the United States himself is a zombie.

Here's the official game description, right from Capcom:

It has been ten years since the Raccoon City incident and the President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place in the belief that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity. Due to be by the President’s side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy, but when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest ever decision. At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack. With no country safe from these attacks and the ensuing outbreaks, the entire world’s population is united by a common fear that there is no hope left.

“Resident Evil 6 represents a giant stride forward in the evolution of the series,” commented Katsuhiko Ichii, Head of R&D and Global Marketing. “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.”

    i just hope the story delivers. i like the resident evil gameplay, not being able to run and shoot doesn't bother me. i was emotionally invested in resident evil 4, resident evil 5 jus didn't give me that same feeling playing it. anybody else know what im talking about? p.s. is it just me or does leon look like a douch in this game?

    Let me move and shoot. And give me a knife that kills in 1 to 2 swipes and I will be happy.

    A big meh. Too much shooting, not enough adventure like the originals. FPS's with zombies are SO tired, they'd have done better to stray from that.

    With Chris and Leon working together, the zombies don't stand a chance.

    Oh wait guys, I see they threw some Gears of War gameplay in there.

    I take it all back.

    Resident Evil is still fresh and original. Rofl.

    LOL? GIANT STRIDE? YOU MEAN MORE ZOMBIES AND PREDICTABLE GAMEPLAY? ALLRIGHT!

    RE hasn't been relevant in almost a decade now.

    Can we just scrap the whole world wide bioterrorist plot and just get back to regular ass zombies?Resident Evil 4 was pretty cool but this story keeps getting more and more ridiculous. Just throw me into a world full of zombies with little ammo and even less hope. I just can't get into these over the top plotlines with plant like zombies. Revamp this series and get it back to its roots. If zombies were scary on the PSone I could only imagine what they could do on the current systems.

    I hope PC version has Nvidia 3D Vision support just like RE5 did. That will rock!!! I'm glad they brought back the zombies. Citywide Zombies!! Oh yea.. Looking down on the city in 3D would totally rock!!

    More co-op? Booooo but I can get over it. More action? YES!! Classic characters? YESS!! Multiple playable characters at certain points? .........I'm not too sure about this one.

    But overall while I've honestly gotten over the hype for Resident Evil I'm still looking forward to this.

    I would love to see RE6 on Steam with online CO-OP. That would be a fun way to kill some zombies :)

    Awesome. No surprise, really, but it's good to know its on the way. I love the RE series, but I hope the remain true to whatever canon remains. The story is quite confusing as it is, not including the movies. I would like something like MGS4, where they clear up a lot of questions and sort the story out. Only, less cutscenes.
