Resident Evil 6

Resident Evil 6 came out on PS3 and Xbox 360 in October 2012, and the PC version appeared on Steam in March 2013. In the fictional RE world, a global bioterrorist attack with a new virus, the C-virus, unfolds in several places around the planet at once. Four story threads intertwine and converge in the finale, covering about 25-35 hours of single-player campaigns.

The campaign of Leon S. Kennedy and Helena Harper is the closest to classic horror: a zombie apocalypse in the American city of Tall Oaks and right in the White House. The campaign of Chris Redfield and Piers Nivans is a military action story: a BSAA captain returns from voluntary exile, suffering from PTSD after a catastrophic operation in Eastern Europe.

The campaign of Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin is an action thriller with chase elements: Jake is the illegitimate son of the series' main villain Albert Wesker and the only carrier of immunity to the C-virus. His blood is needed as the basis for a vaccine. Ada Wong's campaign unlocks after completing the three main ones and reveals the hidden side of the whole story: a stealth thriller with the densest concentration of plot.

Co-op is optional: any campaign can be played solo, or you can invite a partner online through Steam at any moment. In the PC version, Mercenaries No Mercy and 7 additional maps are included for free (on consoles, this was paid DLC). The Onslaught, Predator, Siege and Survivors modes are sold separately in the All Modes Pack.

The Steam version comes with Russian subtitles and interface (Full Audio only in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish). The fan studio Mechanics VoiceOver released a dub of the Leon and Helena campaign in 2020; in 2024 it announced a re-dub covering the other campaigns, and the work is ongoing.

Metacritic PC score is 69 (74 for PS3/Xbox 360): the PC port came out five months later, and critics rated it with the console reaction already in view. Still, the game sold about 10.1 million copies on PS3/360/PC (Capcom data, December 2025), a record for the series at that time. The Steam rating is "Mostly Positive" (~72%, about 67,000 reviews), and some players later reassessed RE6: as an action game without pretensions to horror, it works.

RE6 is the last main entry in the series on the MT Framework engine (RE Engine, which debuted in RE7 in 2017, replaced it). The minimum requirements are quite low: a 2007 GeForce 8800 GTS and 2 GB of RAM.

Resident Evil 6 (2013, Steam) is a large-scale action horror game from Capcom with four parallel campaigns: Leon, Chris, Jake and Ada Wong. Each campaign can be played solo or in online co-op. Russian subtitles and interface are included, voice acting is the original English. The last main entry in the series before the reboot in RE7.
