Originally slated for late November, Capcom announced today that Resident Evil 6 will be released globally on October 2, 2012.
Along with the ship date announcement, Capcom released a new action-packed trailer that does a great job setting up the story for the latest installment in the series.
You can view the trailer on the Xbox YouTube channel, or queue it up to download and watch on your Xbox 360.

And if October 2 seems like a very long way awy, don’t forget that you can preorder Dragon’s Dogma now, which will include early access to the Resident Evil 6 demo! For the full scoop, see our earlier blog entry.
