The fictional Chinese city attacked during Resident Evil 6’s opening campaign is Tall Oaks.
Tall Oaks is the setting for Leon S. Kennedy and Helena Harper’s campaign. A bioterrorist attack spreads the C-virus through the city, creating a crisis that begins with the U.S. president’s transformation and the destruction of the university area.
The campaign later moves beyond Tall Oaks as Leon and Helena pursue answers connected to the attack. Resident Evil 6 uses multiple campaigns and locations, so the city is only one part of the game’s broader global story.
Tall Oaks is separate from Lanshiang, the fictional Chinese city associated with Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin’s campaign. Both names appear in Resident Evil 6, but they identify different settings.
