Retro Replay Review

Gameplay

The playable centerpiece here is Resident Evil 6. This Premium Edition packages the full game with physical collectibles, so the edition’s value does not come from a separate playable campaign or a different game experience.

That distinction matters before you buy. You are paying for an enthusiast’s bundle whose biggest item is a replica leather jacket based on Leon’s in-game clothing, not for a version that changes the fundamentals of playing Resident Evil 6.

For a fan who already wants the game and enjoys owning franchise memorabilia, that focus can be perfectly satisfying. For everyone else, the gameplay portion needs to stand on its own, because the extras are the reason this particular edition commands attention.

Graphics

The most concrete visual flourish in this set is outside the game itself: four phone cases themed around Chris, Leon, Jake, and a fourth randomly selected case. The replica jacket also makes Leon the clear centerpiece of the premium packaging.

Story

This edition’s character focus points squarely at Chris, Leon, and Jake. Their themed phone cases give the bundle a more personal connection to the cast than a generic logo-heavy collector’s package would.

Leon gets the strongest treatment, since the jacket is specifically modeled after the one he wears in Resident Evil 6. If he is the character you most associate with the game, that is the extra likely to make the set feel special rather than merely expensive.

The random fourth phone case is the one awkward note. A limited collector’s edition usually feels most satisfying when every included item is chosen deliberately; leaving one design to chance slightly weakens that sense of control.

Overall Experience

Biohazard 6 (Premium Edition) is easier to recommend as a franchise keepsake than as the sensible way to obtain the game. The jacket is a substantial, distinctive inclusion, while the phone cases make the bundle feel more like a fan collection than a standard premium box.

Its limited run of 5,000 copies gives it genuine collector appeal, and ordering exclusively through Capcom’s Japanese digital store makes it especially niche. That exclusivity will be part of the fun for committed collectors and part of the inconvenience for anyone simply shopping for a copy of Resident Evil 6.

In the end, this is a confident but narrow premium package. Buy it if the Leon jacket and character-themed accessories mean something to you; otherwise, the included game is better treated as the main purchase, not an excuse to stretch for the extras.
