L4D2 characters/monsters coming to RE6 PC, and vice-versa

Thought this deserved a news update, but not sure who to contact about it.

No, it's not April Fools or some devious troll - the L4D2 cast is indeed set to appear in Resident Evil 6's "No Mercy" mode, exclusive to PC. That means Coach, Ellis, Rochelle and Nick will fight zombies, J'avo and... wait, what's that...

The Witch! Whooooaa now this is getting interesting. And how about... no way...

The Mini-Tank! All of this arrives on RE6 PC completely FREE on April 5. I'll give everyone (myself included) a moment to catch their breath.

Each L4D2 character comes equipped with a specific loadout created just for RE6 Mercenaries: No Mercy, and those Special Infected will haunt the RE6 cast as well. So, if you ever wanted to see Leon take out the Witch or Ada prance around the Tank, now's your chance.

And then this spring, RE6 enemies will leap into L4D2 - namely Lepotitsa, Napad and Ogroman. Valve's own devs worked on integrating these baddies into the game, but what about getting Leon, Chris and the rest of the cast into L4D2? Well that's where you come in.

I'm a huge, huge L4D fan, having spent something like 200 hours in L4D1 and maybe 300 in L4D2 (I did review it back in 2009, btw), so seeing this crossover into Mercenaries - one of my favorite "minigames" of all time - is a magical moment. Hope you all feel the same when it arrives on April 5!

This sounds WAY to awesome makes me want the RE6 PC version even more

I feel really shitty for complaining about this, because it is genuinely neat, and I know a lot of folks will enjoy it... But, I just feel a little bummed that they're adding new characters, yet they are not from the Resident Evil universe. I wanted my epic Claire/Sherry team.. Oh, well.

All they are doing is more or less adding a few new 'skins' for a mode that doesn't extend gameplay more than it already does. Of course, the more the merrier, but they could have executed it in a much more interesting manner. So far it looks like a cheap addition, throwing steaks at random fanbases with no real criteria, other than advertising L4D.

soulless cross-promotion.

i said before resident evil is now trying to be like other games, but this is scrapping the bottom of the barrel for a quick way to make a buck.

It's a free add-on, so basically marketing I guess. Oh well, good luck to the PC gamers.

Nice, it means 4 more characters for Mercenaries. Well, I`m not a big fan of Mercenaries No Mercy version, but it`s good to see this time Capcom is trying to play good with PC users and giving us some gifts.

Someone messaged me this, I thought whoa at first, then just saw it was some crappy skin/costume cross over. Booo.
