The publisher of this long-lasting title says that the third playable character, who's name remains unknown, is a mercenary, taking part of a brutal battle which is set in Eastern Europe, where the infected run the streets. Also, Chris' part will take part in the Chinese village of Lanshiang (is a real place), where he is recovering from his own personal problems.
Capcom, the developers of the Resident Evil franchise says that Leon has a new partner, she goes by the name of Helena Harper, who is a government agent assigned to protect the President.
A new type of zombie has been added to the game, J'avo, which is described below (by Capcom):
Described as "incredibly aggressive," the new monster will be able to regenerate. If it sustains serious damage, it is able to mutate the damaged limb into "a number of varied forms," forcing the player to rethink their approach.
It is also said that the game will take place in 2013, which is 15 years after the original Resident Evil was released.
Resident Evil 6 is set to be released to all platforms (PS3, 360, PC) on November 20th, 2012.
Original Information Given by IGN
New Resident Evil 6 information has emerged out of Japan.
According to Japanese magazine Famitsu, the President of the United States seen in the game's debut trailer is not the father of Resident Evil 4 character Ashley Graham, but is instead the President that takes office after Graham.
This fits with information we've previously reported, as our sources tell us that the blonde woman in the trailer many people assume is Ashley Graham is actually Sherry Birkin, daughter of Resident Evil 2's villain, William Birkin.
The magazine also reports that the zombies in Resident Evil 6 were not infected by the T-Virus, and that the game's currently-unknown third playable character is meant to be a character that "young people" will be able to relate to.
Finally, the game is said to be halfway done. It will reportedly feature a control scheme that allows for cover, quick evasion and 180 degree turns. The development team is also bringing back horror elements and aims for RE6 to be the best game in the series.
