Other players are your foes in Resident Evil 6′s ‘Agent Hunt’

1 August 2012 by Peter Parrish

If you fancy opening up a new challenge once you’ve completed Resident Evil 6, the Japanese games publication Famitsu is reporting that certain stages can be unlocked for ‘Agent Hunt’ mode. Doing so will allow other players to join your game as the creatures in the stage, giving you a far sterner test as you’ll have to deal with human intelligence and patterns of play rather than the AI.

Multiple opponents can join through this method and the game will apparently let you know when a human foe has hopped on (but won’t tell you exactly which creature they’re controlling). Creature players will even be able to co-ordinate attacks through voice chat.

In other, slightly spoilery news (you have been warned!), it’s been revealed that once you’ve completed Resident Evil 6 with Chris, Leon and Jake, you will unlock a campaign storyline for Ada Wong. She’ll be armed with a crossbow and timed bombs.

Here’s a spot of footage with Leon in action. Resident Evil 6 is due in October.
