Resident Evil 6 may have 6-player co-op according to Xbox.com listing
If the Xbox.com listing for Resident Evil 6 is to be believed, the latest title in Capcom’s survival horror franchise will feature not just two-player online co-op, but a total of six players.
Additionally, the listing suggests that there will be some other form of multiplayer, and up to 8 players are supported. The listing also says that offline co-op will be supported as well, but only with a maximum of two players.
Co-op was a big part of Resident Evil 5, so it wouldn’t be at all surprising if Resident Evil 6 followed up and included co-op. In fact, it would be surprising if they didn’t include it. Still, even if this information is direct from the Xbox.com website, it should be taken with a grain of salt until Capcom confirms it or shoots it down.
Assuming that the multiplayer information is accurate, that would be a new addition to the core franchise, whatever it may be. Here’s to hoping it’s multiplayer akin to what we saw in Mercenaries, and not some form of team deathmatch or something.
In other Resident Evil 6 news, the game’s official Twitter account has been steadily releasing snippets of information since Resident Evil 6‘s announcement. Here’s what we know so far (via Siliconera):
- The game has been in development for 2 years.
- More information on a demo will be available in the coming months.
- “Tall Oaks” is the site of a new outbreak in Resident Evil 6, and is populated with 70,000 zombies. [note: Tall Oaks is where Leon’s story takes place. Chris is in China.]
- The zombies are “a bit different to what you may be used to”and are unlike any in past Resident Evil games.
- “There will certainly be a survival horror element to the game, mixed in with classic Resident Evil moments.”
- This one is more obvious, but the control system has been “overhauled” and will feature “a number of new elements”.
