Resident Evil 6 List Of Characters, Settings, Controls Revealed, Game Now 50% Complete

Capcom have released a ton of new information for it’s upcoming survival-horror game: Resident Evil 6. The new update gives us more information regarding the characters, setting and the type of zombies you are going to face in the game. Obviously this is not the complete feature list and you can expect more information as we draw closer to launch date.

And by the way, the game is 50% done.

Setting
It has already been revealed that Chris Redfield heads to China during the course of the game but we can now confirm that the main location in China will be a fictitious coastal town called Lanshiang.

When does RE6 take place?
There has been some confusion surrounding when the game is set, so to set the record straight Resident Evil 6 takes place in 2013.

Character profiles

Leon S. Kennedy: Following the Raccoon City incident Leon was recruited as a US government agent by none other
than Adam Benford, who would later become the President of the United States. Ever since the nightmare that was Raccoon City Leon has made it his life’s work to eradicate bioterrorism.
Helena Harper: Like Leon, she is also a government agent, but was in the process of transferring to the Secret Service to become one of the President’s personal bodyguards. In the announcement trailer it is Helena who admits to Leon that she is the one responsible for this incident.

Chris Redfield: The ex-S.T.A.R.S member who continued the fight against bioterrorism as the leader of the BSAA underwent a personal trauma some six months prior to the events depicted in RE6. In spite of this he has rejoined his BSAA colleagues in China to uncover a major bioterrorist attack.

The mysterious third protagonist: We’re still trying to track down his real identity but we do know this man is a mercenary currently engaged in a bloody conflict in Eastern Europe where reports confirm that B.O.W.s are increasingly being used. 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.

Ingrid Hunnigan: A member of Field Operations Support (FOS), Ingrid has been working with Leon for a long time, and they share a mutual trust.

Adam Benford: President of the United States and the man who hired Leon after the Raccoon City incident.
Enemies

Zombies: Yes they are back, but now they run, jump at you, even use weapons and as such are different from those encountered in previous games.

J’avo: Named by the BSAA after the Serbian word for ‘demon’, the first J’avo made an appearance in the conflict zone of Eastern Europe about six months before the action of Resident Evil 6. The J’avo still exhibit certain human elements – such as the ability to understand speech, work together as a group and use weapons – but they are also incredibly aggressive and a number of their actions have regressed to pure instinct.

Redesigned control system
Resident Evil 6 features an evolved control system allowing players to shoot whilst moving; slide; roll in any direction and to take cover along with the addition of an enhanced melee attack.
