Resident Evil 6 stolen copies being sold

Recently, a number of copies of Resident Evil 6 were stolen, and now they appear to have hit the black market.

Photos of the retail game first surfaced on Polish website Neogo.pl and were later confirmed to be legitimate.

“Capcom is currently undertaking a thorough investigation into reports that Resident Evil 6 is being sold ahead of its official October 2 release date,” the publisher said in a statement.

“At this time, all we can add is that it would appear this unfortunate incident is limited to a small quantity of stolen copies of the German USK PlayStation 3 version of the game.”

Capcom said it won’t change the release date of the game due to the leak.

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.
