Resident Evil 6 has “Something brand new”, zombies will be different

IGN have scored an interview with producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi where he talks about how Resident Evil 6 will, “Challenge something brand new and this is something we’ll be telling you all about in the coming months”.

Dodgy translation aside it sounds like Resi 6 has some new feature up its sleeve, especially as Hirabayashi mentions RE 5′s co-op as something, “That had never been done in the series before,” as an example. That makes it sound like it might be more than just the Resident Evil 6 six player co-op recently leaked.  

He also says “We’ve always worked hard at finding ways to innovate the series with every new game, and RE6 is no different. Co-op play is one way to introduce new possibilities into the game system. We can’t talk about any details right now, but we hope everyone will look forward to hearing new information in the coming months”.

When asked about the return of the old school undead Hirabayashi says, “We have dropped hints in the trailer as to how the zombies in this game are different and present a new challenge to the player, and we will go into more detail on this soon.”
