Original Story: Blame this leak on lax security at Gamestop. According to a report just in from IGN, one of their crafty readers managed to send them exclusive photos of promotional displays for Resident Evil 6 that had just been delivered to a Gamestop. The photos, which can be viewed below, not only expose the logo of the upcoming title in the Resident Evil series but also the date of release for the Resident Evil 6 game previously unknown to the public.
According to the posters Resident Evil 6 will hit stores on November 20th for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
IGN sources also told them that the game will feature Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield as playable characters.
When IGN pressed Capcom to comment they refused to say anything and said they do not comment on rumors or speculation. Figures.
