Capcom has confirmed quite a few Resident Evil 6 related tidbits. One of the biggest is the fact that not only will gamers be able to move and shoot at the same time (yes, it's IS the year 2012 and Capcom is FINALLY adding this ability to a Resident Evil game), but you will also have the ability to slide, roll AND take cover.
The zombies are back, but they're not the zombies that you're familiar with. The zombies in RE6 will be able to run, jump and even use weapons!
It's already been revealed that Chris Redfield heads to China during the game, but Capcom has officially confirmed that the main game location in China will be a fictitious town called Lanshiang.
They have also confirmed that Resident Evil 6 takes place in the year 2013.
As if all of this information wasn't enough, Capcom released character bios (we'll add them later, as soon as we get more information on the mysterious third protagonist). Right now the character roster includes Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, Helena Harper, Ingrid Hunnigan and Adam Benford (the President of the United States, who looks to have retired at an early age, based upon the reveal trailer which we included down below).
15 new screenshots have also been released for Resident Evil 6. We've included a few below, as well as a link to check out the rest.
