Confused on some of the details surrounding the latest entry in Capcom’s flagship survival horror series? Well fear not intrepid geeks for Capcom has dialed us in on some new info.  Let’s start with the easy, the year is 2013 and where we saw Chris Redfield in the trailer was the fictional Chinese coastal town named Lanshiang. Poor Chris is dealing with the after effects of something traumatic and personal that happened six months prior. He’s still whooping zombie butt despite his problems, which is good because humanity may just need him. Leon S. Kennedy is still a government hound dog working to eradicate the Biohazard menace. He finds out from another agent, Helena Harper, that she’s the reason the newest incident is occurring.  What happened? What did she do? We’ll find out – eventually.

The zombies are zombies but they aren’t T-Virus zombies, instead these are new zombies. Zombies that can pick up a shank and stab you. Zombies that run and jump. These aren’t your O.G. PlayStation zombies. A new monstrosity is being introduced to keep players on their toes – J’avo. Meaning “Demon” in Serbian, the J’avo are still somewhat humanoid. They can understand speech, equip weapons and even use teamwork. They possess the ability to regenerate after being damaged but if they become damaged too much, body parts come back as mutated appendages. Yikes!

Capcom is looking to revamp that combat structure in this version. Shooting and moving will be possible as well as sliding, rolling and taking cover. Heck you can even bash skulls with an enhanced melee! We still have nine months to go before we can hop back into the shoes of the intrepid bioterror fighting heroes. November 20th will birth the game on Xbox 360 and PS3. Hit the break and catch some gorrific new screens!
