‘Resident Evil 6’ PC Release Date Announced

Resident Evil 6 has already been out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for a little over two months now, leaving PC gamers waiting for their turn. Unfortunately, you’ll need to do a bit more waiting.

As revealed in a post on Capcom Unity, Resident Evil 6 will be made available on March 22, 2013 in North America and Europe. Fortunately, there’s good news: Capcom confirmed that the PC version of Resident Evil 6 will be on Steam as a Steamworks title.

All Resident Evil 6 title updates — one of which began rolling out today — will be included in the PC version, but don’t expect any new features or content additions apart from what you get out of Steamworks.

Capcom also confirmed that the second title update for Resident Evil 6 is coming out next month. The update sees the Agent Hunt mode unlocked from the get-go, the option to turn on QTE Assist on any difficulty, and some difficulty tuning across the board.
