Resident Evil 6 confirmed by Capcom!

Turns out they confirmed it faster then previously intended. And what better way to reveal a game then by giving us a trailer:



So it's good to know that Chris and Leon will be the main protagonists of this adventure. And it will be a dramatic horror.

Capcom describes the game as a "blending action and survival horror" and is "the most ambitious, immersive and feature rich title of the series to date and promises to be the dramatic horror experience of the year."

Here's a synopsis of the game's plot:
It has been ten years since the Raccoon City incident and the President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place in the belief that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity. Due to be by the President’s side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy, but when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest ever decision.
At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack.  With no country safe from these attacks and the ensuing outbreaks, the entire world’s population is united by a common fear that there is no hope left.


It's great to know that this promises a horror aspect (Which was slowly lost in the gameplay of the 5th installment) and if anyone is worried about development time, please read this:
“Resident Evil 6 represents a giant stride forward in the evolution of the series,” commented Katsuhiko Ichii, Head of R&D and Global Marketing. “The development team, led by Hiroyuki Kobayashi, is working tirelessly to deliver the most impressive Resident Evil title ever both in terms of scope and production values.
"We are all genuinely excited by the title and cannot wait to share it with the world.”

It's also worth mentioning that pre-ordering this game at retail stores such as Gamestop and Amazon will give you lots of goodies such as DLC map packs. RE6 will come out in november for PS3 and 360, and for PC at a later date.
