What started out as a rumor, erupted to full scale announcement with a release date for the next game in the Survival Horror/Action franchise.
Originally outed out to IGN by a Gamestop employee, and followed with a flood of information from other outlets, Resident Evil 6 was announced earlier then the developer expected, with a release date of November 20th 2012. Capcom later confirmed the information with a trailer and some information of what we can expect to see in the new game.
Resident Evil 6 will bring back fan favorites, Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield fresh from his adventures in RE5, each will lead a campaign though the US and China respectively. If the trailer is any indications of what to expect, we will be able to move and shoot at the same time and some cover base shooting, as well a presidential zombies, and a new character using kung-fu on zombies and other things.
