Resident Evil 6 allows players to select between four scenarios with interwoven storylines
In the Leon, Chris, and Jake scenarios, players have the option of controlling either them or their respective partners
The character not selected by the player is controlled by either artificial intelligence (AI) or another player via local or online multiplayer
Ada's scenario can be played with or without a partner and a second player who joins will control the non-canonical character Agent
In addition, each scenario features a different play-style; for example, some player-characters are more vulnerable to attacks whereas others are more resilient
