Capcom has revealed some new details about Resident Evil 6. The company confirmed previously-known details about Chris Redfield's involvement and journey to China in the game, and dropped some new details as well.

"We already know Chris Redfield heads to China at some point in this global BOW outbreak, but where exactly in China is he?" said a rep for the company. "That'd be a fictional coastal town called Lanshiang, which joins the ranks of Raccoon City and Twin Oaks as locations overrun by creeping monsters. As for the time period, we can also confirm Resident Evil 6 takes place in 2013, putting it a few years after Resident Evil 5."

Capcom also recvealed that a new creature will be introduced called J'Avo. "The BSAA named these creatures after the Serbian word for "demon;" they're even more dangerous than the typical zombie, and are capable of understanding speech and coordinating attacks. That said, they're still mutated monstrosities, so they're not exactly calm or collected when it comes to tactics."

The game is currently set for release on November 20th.
