Resident Evil 6 x Left 4 Dead 2 project screens:

Capcom and Valve are pleased to announce the Resident Evil 6 x Left 4 Dead 2 project. This crossover project between two of the interactive entertainment industry?s most respected publishers will see characters from Left 4 Dead 2 featured exclusively in the forthcoming PC version of Resident Evil 6, while enemies from Resident Evil 6 will invade the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2. All content will be made available completely free for fans of either game to access and play.

Owners of Resident Evil 6 PC will be able to select one of four survivors from Left 4 Dead 2?s iconic cast ? Coach, Nick, Ellis and Rochelle ? when playing PC exclusive mode, The Mercenaries No Mercy. Each character will have a special customized weapon load-out created just for use in Resident Evil 6. In addition to the four survivors, two of the infamous Special Infected zombies from the Left 4 Dead franchise ? the Witch and Mini Tank ? will also make a cameo appearance in this mode, relentlessly attacking players regardless of whether a character from Left 4 Dead 2 or Resident Evil 6 is chosen. This new and exclusive content will automatically be downloaded in the background to all owners of the PC version of Resident Evil 6 from April 5.

Making the leap to the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 will be some of Resident Evil 6?s most fearsome enemies ? Lepotitsa, Napad and Ogroman. All three characters were brought to life in Left 4 Dead 2 by Valve?s renowned developers using its Steam Workshop tools. Owners of the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 will be able to face a new deadly challenge when Resident Evil 6 characters infect Valve?s classic zombie title this spring.

Commenting on the crossover project, Chet Faliszek from Valve stated: ?We?re huge Resident Evil fans, so when the opportunity arose to work directly with Capcom to combine L4D2 and RE6, we jumped at it.?

Resident Evil 6 Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi added: ?The Resident Evil 6 team really enjoyed working on this crossover, and we?re confident that our fans will have a great time with it too! We hope you enjoy this unique content.?
