Resident Evil 6, known in Japan as Biohazard 6 (Japanese: バイオハザード6 Hepburn: Baiohazādo Shikkusu?), is an action-adventure third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The ninth main installment of the Resident Evil series, it was first released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 2 October 2012, and for Microsoft Windows on 22 March 2013. It was re-released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with all downloadable content on 29 March 2016. The story is told from the perspectives of Chris Redfield, a former member and founder of the Bio-terrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) traumatised by a failed operation; Leon S. Kennedy, a Raccoon City survivor and agent for the US government; Jake Muller, an illegitimate son of Albert Wesker and associate of Sherry Birkin; and Ada Wong, a freelance agent framed for the bio-terrorist attacks by the antagonistic corporation Neo-Umbrella. They must all confront the force behind a massive bio-terrorist attack with the newly developed C-virus in cities across the world. Gameplay is centred around their four interwoven storylines, in which each player-character has unique abilities and styles.
