With the release of Resident Evil: Retribution today, we thought fans might be interested in the live action trailer that was recently released for Resident Evil 6. There are plenty of fans of the movie series, but we'd love to see a rebooted movie take the more serious tone of this trailer and the games.

“Blending action and survival horror, Resident Evil 6 promises to be the dramatic horror experience of 2012. Resident Evil favorites Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Ada Wong are joined by new characters, including Jake Muller, to face a new horror, the highly virulent C-virus, as the narrative moves between North America, the war-torn Eastern European state of Edonia and the Chinese city of Lanshiang.

Starting with three distinct, yet interwoven story threads, each with their own pair of protagonists for either solo or co-op play, both offline and online, not only will Resident Evil 6 deliver both different perspectives and gameplay styles but, with the introduction of the innovative Crossover mechanic players will be able to team up and share the horror. At key moments during the game, up to four players can join together online to tackle a specific situation, with some stages seeing the usual partnerships swapped to further increase the depth of gameplay."

Resident Evil 6 will be available globally for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 2nd with a PC version to follow. Catch up on our recent Resident Evil 6 coverage with the following articles:
