The writing's been on the wall for a new flagship installment in Capcom's Resident Evil franchise for some time now, and today, the publisher pulled the trigger on that announcement. Resident Evil 6 will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on November 20.

Resident Evil 6 will feature a split plotline, though bioterrorism remains the motif. In the US, Leon S. Kennedy joins the president of the United States 10 years after the events that defined Raccoon City, ostensibly to offer the truth on what actually happened there. However, in the midst of this revelation, bioterrorists attack, converting the president into a lurching undead.

On the other side of the world, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield touches down in China, which is in the midst of its own bioterrorism outbreak. Resident Evil 6 will be the first installment in the franchise to feature both Redfield and Kennedy, and Capcom noted that new characters will also be introduced in the game.

Development on Resident Evil 6 is being led by Hiroyuki Kobayashi. The developer has previously received producer credits for a number of Capcom's titles, including Resident Evil 4, Killer7, and Dragon's Dogma.

Prior to today's announcement, Capcom had posted to a countdown teaser site for the game, NoHopeLeft.com. That site now directs to a YouTube page featuring Resident Evil 6's first trailer.

I have to say, it looks a lot better then the odd 5... Leon is a badass and zombie president? Oh hellz yeah!

This year! God damn that's awesome. I'm a huge fan of Resident Evil. BTW Resident Evil 5 ruled, sir.

The trailer looks incredible. It appears look like it could be the most expansive game of the series. And playing both Leon AND Redfield? Sweet.

Only criticisms I have is where did the T-virus come from. My understanding was that it was gone. Also I'm not happy with the lack of female characters. Neither Jill Valentine or Claire Redfield appear to be in this which makes me a sad panda. Claire needs to be another game.

On a related note, was that Ashley in the trailer?

That's what many are suspecting! Also, it is kinda weird that you get 3 seperate(?) storylines with 3 different characters but none of the main are women.... IGN thinks it's Sherry Birkin but I'd go with the majority and say Ashley. I'm more interested in this new mystery protagonist!

Game looks bad ass 3 different characters should keep me entertained for awhile so 3 endings too?

 

[Castiel]

I assume so! Or maybe in the end they'll all be connected somehow. Either way it's sure to be great!

If they have Sherry in this game but not Claire, I'll be pissed. Jeff Jarrett style.

The three different characters thing is pretty neat. It reminds me of RE2 and RE:Code Veronica.

I hope we get alternate endings depending how how we play.

This looks sweet. Can't wait to play this one. Need to get rid of some so I can purchase Sqyrim too. Will be adding this one to the list.

 

[W-olf]

I agree all but timed I hate that I like to look around and not miss anything but endings depend on how you play are kool .

see, I thought resident evil 4 with Leon Kennedy was taking it to a new level, then 5 came out.... Now this?!?! I know I won't be capable of beating this, ill piss myself just from seeing that train roll passed me.. lmao.. It is games such as this, that give people like me a reason to want to get fat and sit on the sofa all day! lmao
