Capcom is really going all out with the development of Resident Evil 6. Unlike past efforts, they are actively making modifications to the game after receiving demo feedback and they have more surprises in store for the fanbase. Confirming previous rumors, it has been revealed that you'll be able to play as Ada Wong in the game. There will also be a new mode that lets you play as a zombie.
First up, there will be a full single player campaign for Ada Wong. The only catch is that you'll have to complete the other three campaigns to unlock it. Of course, there aren't too many details about her story, but it is said to shed more light on whats going on behind-the-scenes in the first three campaigns.
The Ada Wong campaign is single player only, but for those looking for more online content, you'll be interested in Agent Mode. This mode lets you play as a number of creatures from the game and is said to be attached to the online version of the single player campaign. For example, it is possible that while you are playing the normal campaign, someone will be controlling the creature that is attacking you. According to a report from Famitsu, this mode is only unlocked after you beat the game.
Expect more information to be officially released by Capcom in the coming weeks. Until then, we have some footage of Ada's campaign and Agent Mode below.
"Experience bioterrorism on a global scale and get a taste for the scope of this latest and most expansive title in the Resident Evil series to date as the action moves from North America to Europe and China. This demo features three different missions and distinct gameplay experiences as each mission is taken from one of the full game’s three separate campaigns which features a different protagonist as the lead.
Play as Leon S. Kennedy alongside Helena Harper and explore the dark confines of the Ivy University campus and the zombies that fill its hallways. Select Chris Redfield’s mission and head to China for an intense encounter against the deadly J’avo with BSAA colleague Piers Nivans on the rooftops of Lanshiang. The third mission shifts the action to the war-torn Eastern European state of Edonia and sees Jake Muller and Sherry Berkin trying to escape the relentless pursuit of the Ustanak, one of the new B.O.W.’s being introduced in Resident Evil 6.
Resident Evil 6 will be available globally on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 from October 2nd 2012 with a PC version to follow."
