• 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.
