Blending action and survival horror, Resident Evil 6 promises to be the
dramatic horror experience of 2012. Resident Evil favorites Leon S. Kennedy and
Chris Redfield are joined by new characters, including Jake Muller, to face a
bioterrorist threat on a global scale, as the narrative moves between North
America, the war-torn Eastern European state of Edonia and the Chinese city of
Lanshiang.
Resident Evil 6 features three distinct, yet interwoven story threads, each
with their own pair of protagonists for either solo or co-op play, both offline
and online. Leon S. Kennedy is paired with US government agent Helena Harper,
while Chris Redfield teams up with fellow BSAA member Piers Nivans. Finally, gun
for hire and son of the infamous Albert Wesker, Jake Muller, is joined by Sherry
Birkin, the daughter of former key Umbrella scientists, William and Annette. All
six must face a new horror – the highly virulent C-virus that has been
unleashed on an unsuspecting and unprepared world, creating new and deadly
transformations.
