Capcom also released brief profiles on a number of the game’s main characters, which sees a number of old favourites and a few new faces as well.
In part one of the article we took a look at how Resident Evil 6 is looking to reinvent the slow lumbering zombie with fast moving, weapon wielding ones. We also learnt about the J’avo, a new enemy type that can regenerate limbs and mutate them as well.
The way things usually are with Capcom, one would expect that that would be the end of the news, yet the publisher had plenty more to share in terms of some of the main characters that players would either play as or encounter.
It turns out that the protagonist of Resident Evil 5 will also feature in the sixth instalment of the franchise. It turns out that Chris “underwent personal trauma some six months prior to the events depicted in RE6. In spite of this he rejoined his BSAA colleagues in China to uncover a major bioterrorist attack.”
Leon S. Kennedy will also mark his return to the series after not featuring in the follow up to Resident Evil 4. It turns out that his close friend Adam Bedford went on to become the President of the United States.
As for Leon well, “Ever since the nightmare that was Racoon City Leon has made it his life’s work to eradicate bioterrorism.”
A new character to the series is Helena Harper, who was on her way to become one of the President’s bodyguards, also “admits to Leon that she is the one responsible for this incident.”
The third main protagonist remains shrouded in mystery as Capcom describe him as a mercenary. There’s more to him though as the description continued, “One day, he’s told that he is the man to save the world. Whilst he doesn’t understand the implications of this, he does immediately think how much money he can make from it.”
Leon’s partner in the game is also revealed to be Ingrid Hunnigan, who has worked with long for a considerable amount of time.
It all sounds very interesting and one can expect more news related to the game to be announced in the future.
