We've got a bunch of news for RE6 today!
First off, the new third character has been revealed. He is not Alex Wesker. His name is Jake Mueller, and he's Wesker's kid though he doesn't know it. He's a merc-for-hire who was hired as protection by the blonde girl that has now been confirmed to be Sherry Birkin. His blood apparently contains the cure to the new virus, which is called the C-Virus. We also get to see a lot of good shots of the main bad guy in this game (a woman actually). I'm almost completely sure that she is Ada Wong. I can't figure out any other reason Leon would want to protect her, and she looks the part. Anyway, she encounters Jake and it seems she's the only one who knows that he's Wesker junior. She makes it clear that she hates his dad.
We've also got the most epic trailer yet showcasing all the characters interacting at some point. Leon and Jake seem to kick it off pretty well and start working together. Chris seems to recognize Jake slightly but doesn't put who he is together. Leon also runs into Sherry in this trailer. Best of all, Chris and Leon meet! Not the way I expected though. Apparently, Leon wants to protect the main bad guy, which also happens to be the same person Chris wants to kill for slaughtering his team. Get ready to watch those two clash in an epic melee battle! I always thought Leon would destroy Chris in a fight, but they seem pretty even here.

Remember how RE5 seemed to focus on sunlight? This one wants darkness to be a pretty big gameplay element.

Bawing aside, I guess the Chris and Leon fight there is a dream come true for many fans. Wesker Jr? Eh, not sure how I feel about that yet, but the C-virus sounds interesting.

I don't see how they can destroy the horror atmosphere any further then they have already, especially if they're retaining the viruses and actually going back to zombies.
Also hope Chris stomps Leon. ermmvin
