Guess what? Resident Evil 6 has a FIFTH scenario

The Big Cheese.

Four full-fledged scenarios in Resident Evil 6 not enough for you? Well, you’ll be very, very pleased to know that there’s actually a fifth scenario, titled “Prelude.” Just take my money already, Capcom.

A few days ago Eurogamer posted their preview of the game’s updated build, in it they revealed that Resident Evil 6, on top of the already revealed four scenarios, would boast “an unseen ‘Prelude’ campaign.” And the image above, which has just been leaked and posted on various RE sites, pretty much seals the deal, listing all five campaigns. Yup, five separate campaigns!

Judging by its title, it looks like we’ll be getting a short intro scenario setting the stage for the rest of the El Gigante-size game. The question here is: Who will we be playing as? I’ll be devoting an upcoming reHorror column to this very question. But feel free to speculate in the comments section below!

Please let it be Claire…or Jill.

  Yes Claire or Jill I could not agree more. That would make the game so much better.
  - Zane James
    
    Claire and Jill will be in Resident Evil 7 (Hopefully)

You may never know there could be a 6th campaign but that would be too much wouldn’t it.

Maybe the Prelude is just the “tutorial” part of Leon’s Campaign before the title screen appears.
- AlanPartridge
  
  Correct. Small tutorial as Leon in China before you choose which scenario you want to tackle first. Its nothing to get excited about.
petrl

Omg I hope Jill’s in it

I love the amount of gameplay in the game, don’t get me wrong. But I just wish the gameplay was all survival horror. Still getting the game used.
- Zuma
  
  Since this game seems to be a “compilation” of several games(shooter, survival horror) into one, I wish I could only pick the parts that ARE survival horror, which are Leon’s and Ada’s part, only.

    I agree. But having regenerating health and a co-op ai partner all the time doesn’t help. I know RE0 had it, but I just don’t want every RE game having it.
    - GRH235
      
      dude ur not gonna have regenerating health like a gears game lol. Its gonna be like how they had it in cronicles of riddick escape from butcher bay. U only regenerate ur health when u have a half block of health and if u dont take any damage u recover ur that block. in re6 u wont be able to go all commando and shit because u DONT HAVE regenrating health like other games. Face it re6 will be a good game. I rather play re6 than play a shitty game like COD lmao. And another thing if they still made resident evil the way did back in the 90′s it would suck because of the horrible ass camera angles. If only they did re5 like dead space maybe it wouldnt have sucked ass. Yeah it pains me that resident evil isnt the same any more but damn dude re6 is still going to be a sweet game. BTW ive been playing resident evil outbreak for ps2 and code veronica x for psn. The hardest resident evil in my opinion is re3. THAT STUPID WATER SAMPLE PUZZLE LOL.

        water puzzle XD. I don’t play CoD. But I can’t support RE6 unless it sticks to its roots. I don’t care about the camera, but I just want it to be scary…I will get it used so I can enjoy the story.
      - GRH235
        
        Bacon.
      - katarokinimoto
        
        yeah tbh that type of health regen is in all the old games, they just never highlighted it’s existence. But if you got bit/hit once and were still at green you would still get back that hit point before green turned to yellow if you went into another room. You could see it more with male characters because they had more hit points, that and Jill in RE3 cause she was in BAMF mode.

        makes sense
    - Zuma
      
      RE0 at least had the choice of allowing the partner to follow you, or staying behind. In RE6, they’re permanetly glued to you, and only Ada’s part seems to be single player. Even then, it seems to have the linear type of “puzzles” (pick up the medal and place it in the indentation). I wish it was TRUE survival horror(backtracking, ammo conservation, flight/fight choices, actual puzzles that need you to rotate object 360 degrees, riddles, etc), not an atmospheric shooter.
lol

Claire & sherry!! would be awsome
Bromeus

Didn’t the developers already confirm that JILL and CLAIRE will not be appearing in Resident Evil 6′s main campaign and are only going to show up as characters in Mercenaries?

Chances are you’ll probably be playing as Helena or the girl that turns into the spider.

I’m sure prelude is the title of Ada’s scenerio. This looks like a menu drop down after selecting Ada. The little icon showing you what chapter you can select (Prelude being the first and only in Ada’s case)
- katarokinimoto
  
  I think you’re right, there’s also a line striking through Ada like as if to show whats selected. Even so, the title prelude doesn’t offer much as a standalone campaign, even if it was separate it would probably be really short.
- Fiend
  
  Based on that, wouldn’t “Prelude” be shifted to the right a bit? It’s on the same “line” as every other name.
  - Rayek
    
    Probably just a chapter select option. On the screen it stands on ‘prelude’. See how rumours turn into elephants?

maybe Steve @_@.

I have the bad feeling that the campaigns will be rather short if they decide to add ANOTHER one, even if the game is spread over 2 discs, they can’t all be The same length as RE 5 right?
- TrueAnakin09
  
  I’m pretty sure the Prelude will be more like a single level, like RE5′s dlc.
  - http://www.facebook.com/manuel.koegler Manuel Eduardo Koegler
    
    Probably gonna be that way, as much as I’d like more campaigns, it shouldn’t affect the longevity of it.

Capcom said that there is a flash back part of Chris where we see his first encounter with the C-virus 6 months prior to the events of 6 that show Chris and piers as the only surviving members of that mission which leads to chris taking 6 months away from the BSAA until his mission in china. I am more than sure that is the Prelude mission. but i do kinda hope i am wrong and Jill and Claire make an appearance cause capcom did also mention there being more major characters in the game that what was shown

JIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLL
Red-Dragon-Cro

DAFUQ? O_O

Hunk?
ZenTzen

Please let it be Hunk that guy needs to come back to the series big time
- Mutilated
  
  His early snapshots in Resi Revelations had my hopes up, but was replaced by some Veltro officer in the final :[

Now this is a game worth the $60.
Ooskii

Does anyone miss Rebecca as much as I do?
- Myst
  
  I do.
  - http://www.facebook.com/brandon.parker68 Brandon Parker
    
    Jill or Claire. did Claire even find her brother yet?
    
    It’s a prelude so i guess it has to be Jill and someone else.
    - http://www.facebook.com/isaac.K.Dynamite Isaac Liights Out Muck
      
      ya she found him in code veronica
- ljbad
  
  I too cast my vote for Rebecca, however unlikely that would be.
Takagi

Please for the love of god do not let it be Claire! > <
Jill I would like to see back!!!
- Reiko Mizusaki
  
  I Agree! I Never Liked Claire She Was Such A Little(Fill In The Blank). I Want Jill She Is Such A Great Character And I’m Sure One Of The Strongest,Prettiest,And Best Characters In Video Game History. I Feel She Needs A Story Of Her Own. Hell If They Need A Partner In There(Even Though Jill Dosent Need One,Same As Ada!) Throw Barry,Rebecca,I’d Even Be Ok With Claire(Bitch Best Stay In Line).
OverCasanova

Rumour has it, Alex Wesker scenario..

I wish Claire though.
AlanPartridge

It’s Leon. In China.
HorrerGirl941

The people that need to make a return in the series is Barry, Rebecca, and Hunk. They were all just side lined and forgotten. But personally i think it would be Jill or Claire, or if we are lucky they team up!
ljbad

Well, now they gotta add a 6th scenario, just so it matches the number of the game. Re6, now with 6 scenarios
TrueAnakin09

Whatever it is, likely it has to do with why Chris is found drunk in a bar. I’m guessing Jill or Claire and it’s not going to end well for either one.
SteveREfan1

its probably not a scenario its probably just a short intro video or the end of RE:Damnation or something i doubt its playable
Tomas Reyes

Maybe is Jessica from Revelations or Jill or Claire to be honest i want all the characters from past RE games in this game.
- sasafsdf
  
  thats retarded, you are fucking retarded the game would be stupid if they put every character i hate fucking fans like you stupid asshole
  - FUCKsasafsdf
    
    Fuck you dick-nose. There’s nothing wrong with having a brain. GTFO troll.

Come On Barry Burton

  BARRY! WHERE’S BARRY?
cynicalhunk420

still looks like resident muff cabbage to me im exited to play as ada a little bit although i bet it will be as long as her seperate ways in 4. leons gay and chris is a terrible daytime tv drama star resident evil has been dead since after code veronica…and speaking of code veronica i still think weskers son is gonna end up being steve in the end of 6. i will rent this game to play its mercenaries version
ShadowOne333

Stop whining and bitching about Jill, I think we already had enough of her in the past 3 games of the franchise didn’t we?
Let both Jill and Chris take a rest, their part in the story is more than done by now.

Let’s start by true facts:
Jessica, Raymond, Alex Wesker or even Wesker’s wife which we know nothing about and Capcom decided to create a son out of fucking nowhere.
Also, remember that we still have Nicholai at large, so we still have him as a possible villain.
Perhaps Helena, if the story does tell that she had something to do with the outbreak.

RE Damnation could give some light to any speculations.
- Rico
  
  Ummm, I think we’ve had enough of Chris but Jill NO!!!, what 3 games are you talking about Revelations and ORC along with 5. That’s rediculous in 5 she wasn’t even a main character, and she finally got Gold Edition a year later with Lost in Nightmares and Desperate Escape that you can complete each chapter within 30-45 mins.Then Revelations came out and the story was very short and you could finish the game within 2-3 hours and all the chapters weren’t about Jill, there were quite a few that reflected on Quint and Keith, or Chris and Jessica. Then in ORC we’re actually gonna count that when it was just a past event game which we’ve seen Jill in that situation already but it was just remade into a squad shooter and is now in HD, yeah definitely Jill’s story should be done with. NOT!!! I think Jill needs to be in another main spotlight as she hasn’t been in the spotlight since RE3, I really don’t count 5, Revelations, or especially ORC. I believe Claire deserves the spotlight again too, but does Claire really deserve it more than Jill, not really cause Capcom pretty much showed the gamers to Resident Evil that Claire is just a copy off of what Jill is. Especially when releasing Mercenaries 3D, I know that was strictly just an arcade based shooter for the Resident Evil franchise but really, Claire had melee attacks based from Chris which is understandable they’re brother and sister, but then she has remixed moves of Jill! (WHAT THE HELL!) Claire is just another copy off character just as much as Jessica was a copy off of Sheva.
  - Jeremy Saylor
    
    Claire was a copy? It was the second game in the whole series and widely regarded as the best entry. If that’s your argument, Leon is a rip off of Chris and there hasn’t been an original character since 1.
http://www.facebook.com/Agent4cay Casey James Edinger

I am hoping for Claire. She is connected to each scenario via characters (Leon, Chris, & Sherry.) Bringing back older characters (Rebecca, Barry, etc), seems pointless to me. Their stories have basically ended with their games. Ya it’s sad they don’t get closure, but that’s life.

5 x 2 hours….
SlightTrouserInTheLadyPant

Has this been confirmed as a 5th scenario then yet?
Because to me, as others have said, it looks like a chapter select drop down menu after selecting the Ada scenario.
Bret

It’s the Merchant from RE4…Not enough campains..stranger.
Vincent

Let us play as simmons lol in the prelude
rubening87

in a portuguese page it was said that the prelude character was leon.
sohaib

i am going to take a wild guess, I think it is the scenerio before chris is found in the bar, what happend to him before that. May be we will see Jill or Claire. How his team died and yeah that is my wild guess
John

nah, there’s no fifth campaign….

Calm down people its just a tutorial.
http://www.facebook.com/julxmo Julian Martinez Orgaz

what about billy cohen? I wonder what happened to him D:
Just014

prelude or not after a month or two for sure they going to relase a dowloadable scenario like they did with R5 so I’m not even worry about it…
Steve

I’m more intrested on what that Circle button does.. even if it is in japernese it still seems like a mixture of letters and numbers … will that activate something intresting for each campaign?
Justin

I’d love to play as Jill and Claire.
!

Would be interested if we played as Carla, since she’s the one who started the whole thing.
