Resident Evil 6 demo infecting Xbox Live and PSN

Capcom have announced that another demo of Resident Evil 6 is set to hit Xbox Live and the Playstation Network this month.

Coming on 18 September 2012, the new demo features content from the three main campaigns, either solo or co-op play via online.

The content differs from the demo previously released with Dragon’s Dogma.

The new demo is the one which was playable at Comic-Con, GamesCom, and PAX Prime, giving players the chance to get some early zombie-killing action that they may have missed out on.

Leon and Helena – picks up right where the previous demo left off, with our pair of heroes trying to escape a zombie-infested Ivy University. Free tip: stun enemies with shots to their head or limbs, then move in for a quick melee kill.

Chris and Piers – Aggressive J’avo enemies clog the streets of Edonia, while our two BSAA agents try to keep the peace. The action is fast and hectic, but again pick your shots and mix up your attack. J’avo will mutate when damaged, so try to go for head shots lest they grow new body parts. As for the huge boss… that’s up to you.

Jake and Sherry – As they run through the infested Lanshiang streets, they come across mutating J’avo who become Chrysalids. If you seen an enemy freeze into a cocoon, it might be better to run than fight. Take note of Jake’s melee skills too – he has lots of options so play around. Wesker’s son knows how to fight!

Resident Evil 6 will be available from 2 October on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A PC release will follow, but has not yet been dated.
