Capcom has released new Resident Evil 6 information. It's been confirmed that the game takes place in 2013. The main location of Chris Redfield's part of the game takes place in the fictional Chinese town of Lanshiang.

It's revealed that players will be able to shoot whilst moving, slide, roll in any direction and to take cover along with the addition of an enhanced melee attack.

It's also revealed that the Zombies are different then those encountered in previous games. They're able to run and jump at you and some of them can even use weapons.

Also, the below information has been released about some of the game's characters and the enemy called J’avo.

The mysterious third protagonist

We’re still trying to track down his real identity but we do know this man is a mercenary currently engaged in a bloody conflict in Eastern Europe where reports confirm that B.O.W.s are increasingly being used. One day, he's told that he is the man to save the world. Whilst he doesn't understand the implications of this, he does immediately think how much money he can make from it.

J’avo

Named by the BSAA after the Serbian word for ‘demon’, the first J'avo made an appearance in the conflict zone of Eastern Europe about six months before the action of Resident Evil 6. The J’avo still exhibit certain human elements – such as the ability to understand speech, work together as a group and use weapons - but they are also incredibly aggressive and a number of their actions have regressed to pure instinct. When a J’avo takes damage it has the ability to regenerate itself. However if it is receives major damage then it will mutate that affected body part into a number of varied forms, meaning players will have to rethink their strategy and adapt to this unpredictability.
