Capcom have today confirmed that from the 18th September 2012, XBox360 and Playstation 3 owners will be able to download a new demo for Resident Evil 6 through XBox Live and the Playstation Store respectively. The demo is set to contain completely different content to that contained in the previously released Resident Evil 6 demo exclusive to owners of the Xbox 360 version of Dragon’s Dogma.
Players will be able to dive into content from Resident Evil 6’s three main campaigns, either solo or partnering up via online co-op, and experience firsthand why it is one of this year’s most hotly anticipated titles.
Play as either Leon S. Kennedy or Helena Harper and further explore the dark corridors and moonlit grounds of Ivy University, swarming with the victims of the latest bioterrorist attack. The action in Jake’s mission switches to the neon-lit streets of Lanshiang as he and Sherry Berkin fight off the J’avo, including their fully mutated forms. Be sure to check out Jake’s special hand-to- hand combat moves and Sherry’s stun baton as you struggle to stay alive.
Showcasing Resident Evil 6’s global setting, Chris Redfield and Piers Nivans head with fellow BSAA team members to the war-ravaged streets of Edonia. The amassed J’avo forces provide a stiff enough challenge, but that’s before the 3-storey high B.O.W. Ogroman crashes the party. Select Piers for a slightly different weapons loadout to Chris including a sniper rifle with thermal scope.
In addition to this news, owners of the Playstation 3 version of Dragon’s Dogma will be able to download the demo previously only available to XBox360 owners from the 5th September 2012, using the redemption token found on the games inside cover.
Resident Evil 6 will release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 across Europe and North America on the 2nd October 2012.
