When does Resident Evil 6 take place?
Capcom identifies the game’s setting as 2013. Its official series timeline labels Resident Evil 6 as June 2013, and a Capcom News article published February 15, 2012, says the game “takes place in 2013.” The 2012 date is the game’s release year, not its story year.
Capcom’s timeline names Leon among the game’s main characters, and Capcom’s coverage describes his recruitment into government service after the Raccoon City incident. Those official sources establish the setting and Leon’s involvement, but do not independently confirm that he is 36.
