Resident Evil 6 to be twice as long as predecessor

Capcom has confirmed Resident Evil 6 will feature much more gameplay time than Resident Evil 5.

Resident Evil 6 producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi has spoken of how going through all three of the games storylines will offer plenty of playing time.

Hirabayashi told the PlayStation Blog: “If you play all three storylines all the way through, you’ll see everything you can see from every side in terms of story, and you’ll obviously have the chance, depending on the settings of the lobby, to have people joining you in these crossover intersections.

“It’s quite a lot of volume: we estimate that each one of these storylines is probably around 70% to 80% of the volume of the whole game in Resident Evil 5. So with three separate storylines, there’s plenty to play here.”
