"Resident Evil 6" may not be actually representative of the number of Resident Evil games that exist, but it looks to be the title of the next entry in Capcom's long running zombie series. A retail poster spotted by one GameStop-employed IGN reader outs the title, a November 20, 2012 launch date on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and a perfectly spooky drawing of the number six.

Additionally, GamesBeat purports to have insider info from a Capcomer in the know, who says that RE6 will star series vets Chris Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy. Everyone's favorite mysterious violent lady, Ada Wong of RE4 fame, is also said to play a role in the yet-to-be-announced game. Scant other details were given, though it is said to be developed by an internal Japanese team at Capcom that's "aiming for a cross between the action/horror blend of Resident Evil 4 ... and the far more action-oriented Resident Evil 5."

After a London gentleman tracked down Capcom as the source of a recent viral ad campaign ("No Hope Left"), the company's US reps refused to comment on the meaning of the ads. At the time, it seemed likely that the ad was tied to the Resident Evil franchise given the stylized biohazard symbol found on the "o" in "No," but now it seems all the more likely tied to an announce at 5PM ET today given a countdown timer added to the ad's website. We'll be here at 5PM (and beyond, of course) to let you know if we hear anything more official.
