GamesBeat reports that a “reliable source within Capcom” has unveiled the two main characters for the pre-developed Resident Evil 6: Chris Redfield and Leon Kennedy. The site also mentions how we could see the return of Ada Wong, but no specifics were mentioned about her role. VentureBeat’s sources claim Resident Evil 6 is being developed by the same Japanese studio that’s worked on previous RE titles. Word is Capcom will tweak the gameplay mechanics of RE6, combining elements from both Resident Evil 4 and 5.
Capcom’s already made a huge push for its action/horror franchise the past two weeks, unveiling numerous trailers for its third-person console title Operation Raccoon City and promoting a downloadable demo for the 3DS-bound Revelations yesterday. Still, could this be the major announcement teased in those “No Hope Left” viral ads sweeping the Net? Until Capcom unveils the premise behind those ads at 5:00 pm today, we’re filing this one under rumor.
