Resident Evil 6 Pre-Orders Include Actual Umbrella


Pre-ordering Resident Evil 6 will net Umbrella fans an Umbrella umbrella.

If you pre-order Resident Evil 6 from Capcom's official US storefront, you can get your zombified mits on the "Premium full-sized Umbrella Corporation Umbrella." I bet it was pats on the back all round when the marketing department came up with that one.

The umbrella is decorated with Umbrella's distinctive red and white color scheme and sports the tiny mini-umbrella Umbrella logo. It also has the word "Umbrella" written on it, which will make you look like the kind of person who needs a label that says umbrella on your umbrella. Don't be surprised if your fellow pedestrians give you odd looks and occasionally ask if you're a bit lost, in other words.

Unfortunately, in the case of complete global saturation, or a light drizzle, only American gamers will be sporting the Umbrella umbrella, as the bonus appears to be limited to the US. Capcom's blog notes that supplies of the Umbrella umbrella are limited.

Resident Evil 6 shambles onto shelves October 2nd for Xbox 360 and PS3, with a PC version to follow eventually.

Oh sure, because it only rains in America! Rest of the world probably gets something lame like free day 1 DLC.

Resident Evil 6 certainly has some strange extras. First a Leon replica-jacket, now an Umbrella umbrella. What's next, a sample of the T-Virus?

I want a full set damnit! T-virus, G-virus and those parasite things from Resident Evil's 4 and 5.

This seem's kinda strange... it's neat but just seem's strange to me. I kinda wish they would make a few shirts with some of the "WolfPack" team members on them for sale.

Las Plagas sea monkeys.

Not that I am at all interested in RE6 but the extra little extras almost make it seem worth buying. Almost.

I don't have any interest in the game but if it were available over here I'd happily just buy the umbrella, thankfully ebayband over such things exist.

I love that licker.
I hate you for triggering that memory.

Anyway, this idea is... cute, I guess. Eh.

Well I could use a new Umbrella...and this would be a great way to continue to refuse Gamestop my time and money...but I have an independent retailer to support so I may have to pass up on this one. Still, it sounds like a pretty good idea.

Im actually shocked capcom never thought of adding umbrella umbrellas to their merchandising range, seems the kinda thing that would be popular.

As would the vest and shirts worn by claire or leon, they did an awesome job of modelling them during their games :p

I'm not gonna lie. I want to pre-order RE6 just for the umbrella. Want to, but won't. You can't sway me with swag!...Much!
