What is Resident Evil 6?

A third-person action-horror shooter built around four intersecting campaigns in North America, Eastern Europe, and China. You fight zombies and other C-virus mutations with firearms, melee attacks, and evasive moves, playing solo or in local or online co-op, though Ada Wong’s campaign is solo only.

For you if...

  • +you want a fast, set-piece-heavy co-op campaign
  • +you enjoy sliding, rolling, shooting, and close-range melee
  • +you prefer multiple intersecting campaigns and playable characters

Not for you if...

  • you want slow, tense survival horror with little action
  • you dislike frequent quick-time events and cinematic set pieces
  • you prefer one consistent tone and gameplay style
