Is Resident Evil 6 going to China?

Add as a preferred source on Google

Next year will see a pair of new Resident Evil games hit shelves with Resident Evil: Revelations on the Nintendo 3DS and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (shown above) for the PC and consoles, but one title we haven’t heard much about thus far is the next top-level, numerical release, Resident Evil 6.

With Resident Evil 4 set in Europe and Resident Evil 5 in Africa, it stands to reason that Resident Evil 6 will unfold in a new country — and now there’s some evidence pointing to China as the next place Umbrella Corp. will try its bio-weapon shenanigans.

Gaming website The Silent Chief discovered a listing for Resident Evil 6 on the online resume of voice actress Wendy Mok, who was listed as playing a “Chinese Villager/Zombie” in the upcoming game. After outlets began picking up the story, Mok’s profile was quickly edited to remove the description of her RE6 role. The profile was later removed altogether.

This is the second such listing to have appeared on a voice actor’s resume lately, though Mok’s is the first to include a role description. Earlier this week, voice actor Joe Cappalletti also posted an online resume that listed Resident Evil 6 among his recent projects.

Still, with two Resident Evil games planned for 2012, we’re probably a long way off from seeing Resident Evil 6 hit shelves. Of course, that just leaves us plenty of time for speculation — and plenty of time to find more hints popping up around the ‘net.

Your GTA 6 ‘physical copy’ could expire before you even play it
Rockstar has confirmed that Japanese PS5 download codes won't remain valid forever.

The debate around GTA 6's "physical" edition just got another twist. Rockstar has confirmed on its official website that PS5 download codes included with physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI sold in Japan will expire 170 days after the game's November 19, 2026 launch date. That means players who don't redeem the code before roughly May 8, 2027 could be left with nothing more than an empty game box, even though they purchased a physical copy. The company says the policy is required due to regional regulations in Japan.

Why only Japan?

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)
