Rumored Resident Evil 6 “No Hope Left” Graffiti Billboards Purchased By Capcom
A curious collection of online content has been seen floating around the interwebs since last Wednesday. Graffiti tags bearing the phrase “No Hope Left” are popping up around the world, and a decidedly freaky video of a frantic Chinese woman was uploaded to YouTube this last Saturday. A blog, maintained at nohopeleft.com, is seemingly dedicated towards uncovering the mystery behind this strange phenomenon.
However, a recent investigation by thesixthaxis has uncovered some telling information about this apocalyptic exhibition. According to the investigator (who arrived on the scene wearing a shirt and tie mind you), the wall of No Hope Left “graffiti” in London isn’t actually graffiti at all; it’s a billboard. Making a few calls, he managed to track the billboard to a company called Primesight, who in turn directed him back to the company that placed the advertisement. That company is none other than Capcom, the Japanese game company responsible for the Resident Evil series, is behind the billboard purchase.
It seems that Capcom is using a new viral ad campaign to promote the first Resident Evil game in three years, Resident Evil 6. Although the company denied the ad campaign when prodded, stating that “Capcom doesn’t comment on any rumours or speculation,” a public announcement is rumored to be in the works for tomorrow.
Evidence points strongly towards the conclusion that, sometime within the next 24-hours, Capcom will announce Resident Evil 6. Below is an example of the ad campaign, including one of the graffiti tags and the slightly freaky video. It’s also worth noting that TForepaugh, the Youtube user who posted the frantic video mentioned above, only created his or her account on Monday of last week. That smells like an ad campaign to me.
