Merely a petty quarrel

Resident Evil 6 will be complemented by a free online stat-tracking service, publisher Capcom has announced. ResidentEvil.net will log data on your activities, and serve up a number of in-game rewards.

The service will track your battle reports, details on the weapons you've used and more. It’ll also update your stats for Mercenaries mode in real-time, allowing you to share your achievements on Facebook and Twitter.

Regular community challenges will see winners rewarded with prestigious prizes. There’ll be a variety of rare in-game costumes up for grabs, as well as collectable ResidentEvil.net figurines.

The website will launch alongside Resident Evil 6 later this year, with smartphone and tablet applications also in the works.
