Resident Evil 6 is set to arrive on PCs on 22nd March, Capcom has announced.
While the PC version will be available in Europe (and by extension, India) on disc and digitally, interestingly, the US will only see a digital release.
A few days ago, Capcom announced a near-simultaneous PC release for DmC Devil May Cry, but Resident Evil 6 will arrive on PC over six months after its console counterparts.
The PC version will include all the content from the console versions, plus Ada Wong’s campaign and the No Hope difficulty mode, which arrived on consoles post-release via free updates.
The game will be Steamworks-enabled on PC, which means it will support cloud saving, Steam Achievements, and leaderboards.
Capcom also released the minimum and recommended system specs for the game:
