You'll be able to unlock new costumes for Resident Evil 6, inspired by the classic PS1-era games. Ada, Chris, Leon, and more can don blocky polygonal wares as they run around the campaign. And in a rather non-Capcom move, these alternate outfits can be unlocked for free.

This may be the single best thing about Resident Evil 6. You'll be able to unlock new costumes for Resident Evil 6, inspired by the classic PS1-era games. Ada, Chris, Leon, and more can don blocky polygonal wares as they run around the campaign. And in a rather non-Capcom move, these alternate outfits can be unlocked for free.

To get these bonus duds, you'll need to join ResidentEvil.net. And then, you'll have to jump online and participate in the "Zombie Mayhem" event, beginning tomorrow. This event calls for all players of RE6 to cumulatively kill 15 million zombies. Everyone that participates will unlock one costume from this set should the goal be reached.

The rest of the costumes will be unlocked through other online events to be held throughout the coming year. "There'll be lots more opportunities to collect these great nostalgic items," Capcom promises.

        Dunno, Square-Enix is really giving Capcom a run for its money.

      Remake Resident Evil 2 already. The remake of the first was so fucking good, you would think it would be an obvious next step

        Is it even coming to PC? With such terrible sales and reviews I dont see it being worth their time.

        That being said, This game is way underrated. If you liked 5. You will like 6. The biggest issue with the game was the camera and that was fixed with a free patch in early December.

        Ive spent over 20 hours in this campaign coop with a buddy and it a blast.

          RE6 is great. Best co-op game of the year. Game critics are crazy.
