The first thing we all think of when a newResident Evilgame is announced is; “What’s the multiplayer like?” It is, after all, the reason why the series was ever popular, so you’ll be thrilled to note thatResident Evil 6is packing both co-op and competitive multiplayer fun.
This is according to the list of game features onXbox.com, which reveals a six-person co-op mode and a competitive multiplayer mode for up to eight players. Quite what either mode entails remains to be seen, but I do hope it’s not shoehorned into the campaign like co-op inRE5was. I play games like this for the atmosphere as much as anything, and atmosphere is slaughtered with co-op.
In other news, Capcom promises the return of “survival horror” elements thanks to the inclusion of zombies, and has already confirmed thatRE6was in development for two years prior to announcement. Cool!
