Mark you calendars, because Capcom's Japanese site for Resident Evil 6 has September 18 for the release of the game's demo on PlayStation Network and for Xbox Live gold members. A recent press release from Capcom confirmed it will be available in the US on the same day.
If you've already played the demo after purchasing Dragon's Dogma, no problem, the upcoming demo will be different from that provided. Originally available only to XBox 360 gamers, PS3 gamers will get their chance at the original demo soon enough. It will be available from September 5 to download via token redemption on the PlayStation Store.
Check out more details from the press release below:
"Players will be able to dive into content from Resident Evil 6's three main campaigns, either solo or partnering up via online co-op, and experience firsthand why it is one of this year's most hotly anticipated titles.
Play as either Leon S. Kennedy or Helena Harper and further explore the dark corridors and moonlit grounds of Ivy University, swarming with the victims of the latest bioterrorist attack.
The action in Jake's mission switches to the neon-lit streets of Lanshiang as he and Sherry Berkin fight off the J'avo, including their fully mutated forms. Be sure to check out Jake's special hand-to- hand combat moves and Sherry's stun baton as you struggle to stay alive.
Showcasing Resident Evil 6's global setting, Chris Redfield and Piers Nivans head with fellow BSAA team members to the war-ravaged streets of Edonia. The amassed J'avo forces provide a stiff enough challenge, but that's before the 3-story high B.O.W. Ogroman crashes the party. Select Piers for a slightly different weapons loadout than Chris including a sniper rifle with thermal scope."
Resident Evil 6 will release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 across Europe and North America October 2. A PC version will follow soon.
