There are many games that allow you to step into the shoes of a soldier or mercenary, taking down hordes of the undead with a selection of high-powered weaponry, but what about those who wish to experience the other side of the story? Well, zombie-lovers finally have the chance to take down those pesky humans with Resident Evil 6′s Agent Hunt mode.
As a ‘hunter’ players will be able to infiltrate other players’ sessions with the aim of eliminating the human characters, using the unique movements and attacks of each of the enemies, including those of the various J’avo transformations. Sounds exciting, right? Here are some more details about how this mode will work:
· Complete the main campaigns for either Leon, Chris or Jake to then unlock the Agent Hunt stages for each of those respective campaigns
· When creating an RE6 gameplay session a player has the option to allow/not allow Agent Hunt
· When a hunter searches for a session to join they will see whether or not other players from around the world want to allow hunters into their game
· The hunter then picks another player’s session to join and jumps into that session
· The agent side can be either a single human player with an AI partner, or two human players in co-op mode. Up to two separate hunters can join an Agent Hunt session. When a hunter dies they respawn in the same session as a different random enemy from that area
· If the hunter eliminates the agent then they will be taken to a ‘hunt successful’ results screen where they can join another session if they wish
· If the agent is eliminated then their game session will end exactly as if they had been playing a standard game session with CPU enemies
· If the hunter quits the session then the agent’s game continues as normal with all AI enemies
As well as Agent Hunter mode to unlock, players who successfully complete the game with all three characters will gain access to a whole new Ada Wong campaign, showing her perspective on the bioterrorist outbreaks that threaten to wipe out the world’s population. Fans will have plenty to play when the game launches this October.
