Resident Evil 6 is ambitious but disjointed with four interleaved campaigns and very action-oriented gameplay. Divisive in the RE community. Technically impressive, less narratively coherent. Guilty co-op fun.

Description
Capcom horror TPS offering four interconnected campaigns with Leon, Chris, Jake, and Ada in a global crisis. Published by Capcom, released in Europe in October 2012. Four intertwined scripted campaigns, two-player co-op per campaign, over 30 hours of content, Mercenaries mode, and tribute to the complete saga. European version.
The American and Asian edition of Resident Evil 6, a big-budget Capcom entry crossing the fates of Leon, Chris, Jake and Ada during a global bioterror crisis. An ambitious entry with a divided reception, it marks a pivotal step of the franchise toward action, and its regional run stays less common than the Western editions. Desirability rests on this large entry's place in the series and on the scarcity of the pressing.
Is Resident Evil 6 still worth playing in 2026?
The Japanese version of Resident Evil 6, this Capcom survival horror deploys four interwoven campaigns following iconic series characters, alternating spectacular action, horror and two player co-op. The scope of the content, the cinematic staging and the generosity of the modes win over fans of supercharged action. The heavily action oriented turn away from the original horror and a fragmented story divide longtime fans. A title for fans of spectacular Resident Evil and co-op action on PS3.
