Ever since the supposed Comic-Con leak, rumors have been circulating the industry regarding Capcom’s Resident Evil 6. One sneaky individual snapped a photo during a supposed behind closed doors panel that indicated a Resident Evil 6 announcement at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Since then, a similar rumor has popped up in the Official PlayStation Magazine.


According to the magazine’s rumor section:

[Resident Evil] Operation Raccoon City will be followed up by another canon entry – Resident Evil 6 – in 2012.

Those who have been following Capcom’s hallmark horror franchise closely, may recall that Masachika Kawata – a developer at Capcom – discussed the future of the Resident Evil series, including the direction they plan to go with the sixth installment. Resident Evil 6 will bring the series “a complete renovation… on every level.”

this comment has me worried about the fate of resident evil

This is great news. I don't think a complete overhaul is needed for this series to be a major success again. All it needs is to go back to its survival horror roots, where you know something could make you jump around any corner. I thoroughly hope this is what we are given.

I'm not sure where they can go from how RE5 ended.

Wesker was just a clone maybe?

It's a whole new game and story not an overhaul at all.

I truly hope so.

2012? Not gonna happen. Maybe an initial release date will be set for fall 2012 but I'd bet $50 that they'd push it into spring 2013. And this is under the assumption that they're even ready to go by then. I'm not expecting RE6 until 2013 at the earliest.

Remember how long it took for RE5 to come out after it was announced.

There's no way they can release it in a year. maybe 2 or 3.

re6 in 2012. thats horseshit.
look at how long it took from the first official trailer for RE5 at E3 to the game actually coming out. There has not even been a teaser for RE6 yet. this wont be seen before 2013.
