Leon strikes a pose for the first piece of Resident Evil 6 artwork

Right, yes. So — we’re still reeling from the news that now only is Resident Evil 6 happening, but it’s also happening this year.

Kennedy, are on hand for this latest sequel to put an end to Umbrella’s ongoing nonsense.

And while Chris might be mysteriously absent from the upcoming game’s first piece of promotional artwork, everybody’s favourite mop-haired Secret Service agent was just itching to get involved. Franchise newbie Helena Harper wasn’t about to shy away from a photo op, either.

Now with big-boy stubble.
