"Agent Leon S. Kennedy, one of the survivors of the incident, has been sent to rescue the president's kidnapped daughter.
"He tracks her to a secluded European village, where there is something terribly wrong with the locals. And the curtain rises on this story of daring rescue and gruelling horror where life and death, terror and catharsis intersect."
It has been confirmed, too, that the game features The Mercenaries mode and that a special demo will be released soon for fans to try the game out before they buy.
