Capcom officially announced the existence of Resident Evil 6 last month, with the game heading to Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on November 20 this year. That’s a long time to wait, but also a great opportunity for Capcom to drip feed us new information about the game every month.

 

We already knew that RE6 is set 10 years after the Raccoon City incident, and that it will see Leon and Chris team up for the first time. New characters were also promised, but not detailed at the launch announcement. However, today Capcom has revealed more about the game.

 

We can now confirm that the main setting of the game will be a fictitious town called Lanshiang in China, with the action taking place in the year 2013. Alongside the main, known characters of Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield, the game includes, Helena Harper (secret service agent and president’s bodyguard), Ingrid Hunnigan (Field Operations Support for Leon), and the US president Adam Benford. But there’s also a mystery character who has yet to get a name. All we know is he’s a mercenary who likes to be paid for his work and that he’s been told, “he is the man to save the world.”
