The Resident Evil franchise isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. After having some lean years between Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4, the franchise and it’s zombie blasting gameplay will have a huge year in 2012. During their 15th Anniversary event last week Capcom announced the 22nd entry in the franchise: Resident Evil 6! (…yeah, I know) Here is the fantastic 3 minute plus trailer that show Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield doing what they do best.
Resident Evil 6 Official Trailer
My favorite part about that trailer? The November 20th, 2012 release date! It is rare indeed for a company to announce and release a blockbuster game in the same year. I for one will not miss the endless drizzle of screenshots, waiting three years from announcement to ship. (I’m looking at you Diablo 3!)
In addition to a full numbered iteration, also being released February 7th is Resident Evil: Revelations, a 3DS title featuring Jill Valentine. Only a few weeks later on March 20th we will see Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, a third person shooter for the PS3 and Xbox 360 that brings a squad-based approach to the classic zombie killing gameplay. On the movie front, Resident Evil: Damnation will be a CGI sequel to 2008′s Resident Evil: Degeneration and is planned for release sometime in 2012, though I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one pushed back considering that the fifth live action film, Resident Evil: Retribution, is slated for release on September 14th.
Just imagine, three games and two movies all in the same year. So when is the MMO going to be announced?
