Resident Evil 6!

A new year means new games and the first big announcement was the reveal of Resident Evil 6! As many who know me, I am a massive Resident Evil fan and the reveal had me bouncing up and down for a while! Along with the reveal came a first trailer which showed Resident Evil series veterans Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield being the main protagonists of the 6th entry into the franchise alongside a new male character which Capcom have decided to keep any sort of information about him quiet. Maybe an E3 reveal? Barely 24 hours after the trailer was released to the world, Capcom held a press event in Japan for Resident Evil's 15th Anniversary and was able to reveal more information on RE6.

With three protagonists comes three different storylines, it seems that the producers have listened to fan feedback and have bought back the survival horror aspect from the first three games, with Leon getting caught up in a Raccoon City-esque incident in the town of Tall Oaks. Leon will be joined by goverment agent Helena Harper.

The second story revolves around RE5 main lead Chris Redfield, who looks like is leading a BSAA assault in China. The reason for Chris being in China is not revealed but seems to be more action-oriented than Leon's story. As with Leon, Chris is paired with a currently unnamed  BSAA team member.

The third part and the most interesting part of the trailer was the third main character, which Capcom currently would not release any details for. From the trailer, the only information given is that he was a mercenary and his blood is what everyone is looking for. Rumours are flying around that this is HUNK, the gas masked wearing soldier working for Umbrella from Resident Evil 2 fame. The woman with the mystery man in the trailer is said to be Sherry Birkin, the daughter of Resident Evil 2 villian, William Birkin. But this has not been confirmed officially by Capcom.
 
 The press event also gave the chance for Capcom to talk about a new enemy which our heroes will be facing. Capcom has revealed its name to be Javo and has described it as having a " greater impact than the zombies."

With a 20th November release date, Resident Evil fans will not have that long of a wait to get their hands on the game, and with the release of Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City fans will have their hands full of Resident Evil goodness in the game series' 15th Anniversary.
