What we know: It has been ten years since the incident at Raccoon City and the President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place. Raccoon City survivor and personal friend of the President, Leon S. Kennedy, arrives to find the President transformed beyond recognition by a bioterrorist attack. Leon is forced to make the hardest decision he has ever made. At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance Member, Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack.
Let’s get to the new goodies…

We already know Chris Redfield heads to China at some point in this global BOW outbreak, but where exactly in China is he? That’d be a fictional coastal town called Lanshiang, which joins the ranks of Raccoon City and Twin Oaks as locations overrun by creeping monsters. As for the time period, we can also confirm Resident Evil 6 takes place in 2013, putting it a few years after Resident Evil 5.
The BSAA named these creatures after the Serbian word for “demon;” they’re even more dangerous than the typical zombie, and are capable of understanding speech and coordinating attacks. That said, they’re still mutated monstrosities, so they’re not exactly calm or collected when it comes to tactics.
Characters you can expect to see include Leon, Chris, Helena Harper (a government agent), a “mystery man” and Ingrid Hunnigan – Leon’s Field Operations Support officer. For more, including new screen grabs, follow this link!
