Capcom has announced in the Unity blog that Resident Evil 6 will be getting an update next week on the 22nd January. The fixes are chiefly related to accessibility and user-friendliness, including the ability to play in Agent Mode without having finished the game.
The tweak list includes the following fixes:
Agent Hunt mode
-Now available without completing the game first
-Selectable criteria before joining a session: Stage, Region, other settings like Infinite Ammo and Friendly Fire
Stage Selection
-Individual stages within chapters can be accessed any time once completed
General updates
-QTE assist: Players can optionally activate QTE assist from Amateur difficulty inside any other difficulty level (handy for fighting a certain boss at the end of Leon’s campaign on Professional…)
-Some areas have had their difficulty adjusted based on feedback
The patch will be available for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.
